CHAPTER 6
Probable Methodology of Alternative Reality…
Very early, in the beginning itself, we talked about Optimization of Potential as the sole generic purpose of every human and also insisted that societies and cultures must always ensure every possible facilitation for potential optimization. This is not a philosophy or idealism, we can brush aside as a pipedream and impractical probabilism. It is for sure that from personal experiences and even intuitive thinking, any aware person can say that sound Media and good Milieu are the bare basic need of humanity and they are very much possible. It has happened in past and also happening at some places in contemporary world. In fact, this attainment is what the society, cultures and other human systems were created for thousands of years back.
We all know that majority of crimes, wrongs and mistakes happen when a person is either personally in bad shape of body-mind or his or her ambient milieu is not conducive to a poised life-living. It is not a hypothesis but a reality that for majority of people, goodness; or at least neutral behavior may come natural to them but almost always, they fall to bad and wrong, falling prey to precarious circumstances; some times of their own making, sometimes inflicted upon them by milieus. If you visit any normal prison and check out the data of inmates, you shall find this reality as true. It is therefore a rather pragmatic idea to accept that human excellence is not something different from other species of animals. Most animals also need the same – Sound Healthy ‘Media’ of body-mind and Facilitative external ‘Milieus’.
It is however a tragedy that even after 10,000 years of settled and consequent civilized-cultured life-living, more than 80 percent of contemporary humanity of 7.5 billion people do not get the bare basic of the two key requisites essential for Human Dignity and peaceful life-living. This is the worst background of Reality, which poses a huge challenge, as we think of having an alternative and novel model and methodology of humanity and human systems for higher and novel purposes. How can we possibly talk of Higher Consciousness and nobler purposes led by it?
Talk to a man in a hospital bed, struggling to survive his pain and debilitation, about how you can make him a better person and ensure better life-living. He will not listen to a single word; rather he will keep asking for help to get cured and be able to go home. Survivalism is every human’s primary instinct and if mass majority of humanity is still waging daily life battles to optimize survival potentials alone, how could we think of optimization of his or her consciousness and general life-living? How can such a Dead Culture, where such an inhuman reality still persists, even think of having average men and women behave and act sensibly? The man-made jurisprudence can acquit a person’s wrong admitting the culpability of his or her genetic disposition but the same jurisprudence shall extend no reprieve to an accused if his or her pathetic milieus and untrained consciousness led him or her to commit a wrong. It is cyclic. Settled and sound people create good cultures and infuse potential in societies. In turn, good cultures and high potential societies create milieus for sound and high potential men and women. This model and methodology is working perfectly in some parts of the world, where the political tribe is knowledgeable, responsible; general level of resource equitability is high and depravity has not eroded human potential for good life.
As we are beginning to talk about Higher Consciousness and alternative and novel purposes for life-living, we surely cannot be blind to the massive challenges the average humanity faces even today for survival and dignified life-living. As we have talked previously, the primary and unputdownable need for entire humanity is to be in singular Presentness and Contemporaneousness of Timeline. This idea very much includes the bare basics of sound Media and facilitative Milieu. All humans must be at the bare basic presentness and contemporaneousness of the two essential elements. This can then be the launch pad of next level of higher purposes through the emergent agency of Higher Consciousness.
We have also insisted all along that all goals of humanity can be possible if we optimize human potential through the Presentness and Contemporaneousness of Information. Knowledge alone can facilitate every goal and purposes. The knowledge however has to lead humanity, as against the contemporary cultures, where even basic and genuine Information is not available to mass majority and leadership is in the hands of depraved and mediocre political tribes and their ilk.
In the new millennium, our singular and last hope is the immense and cathartic power of Information and its Emergent Causalities. No doubt, the immensity of potential of Information in human world is also loaded with higher than ever entropic propensities and their own cataclysmic causalities. But then; this is how evolution works. Evolution probably thrives on entropic energies and sporadic but impacting changes, amid the usual linearity of progression of step-by-step changes. The Information revolution, which humanity has unleashed in new millennium has the Potential, which can work either ways – it can destroy everything or create something novel and afresh. We shall touch upon this idea as we delve into our listed priority of detailing the alternative and novel methodology of new Reality for Humanity in this chapter.
What we intend to talk about here is a possibility, despite the overall debilitation of contemporary human Media and Milieus, of Higher Consciousness being able to install and persevere at least some qualitative changes for better life-living. This we list as two-way possibility –
Therefore, what we wish to arrive at is this twin probability of change in contemporary humanity and human systems. First set of changes has to happen in personal and individual domain as here, the attainment of Higher Consciousness shall be a personal enterprise. This shall be facilitated by a generic understanding of the Idea of Information and its critical role in life-living. We shall need to ‘Unlearn’ our intuitive understanding and acceptance of Self or ‘I’ and learn the non-intuitive novelty of accepting Self from the alternative perspective of Information. This generic knowledge also includes the artistry of how to seek and access the Right and True Information. Then, there is this crucial domain of specific understanding of how to use the wider Information to engender alternative and novel metaphors for higher purposes of life-living.
The second set of changes has to happen in external milieus, where science has to take lead and create such novel technical support system, which could facilitate a person’s quest for attaining higher consciousness in a definitive way. Contemporary science is fast evolving in many critical domains of knowledge and may be in very near future, within decades, it can engender an alternative and novel protocol and devices that shall be helpful in not only qualitative Information dissemination but also filtering fake and fudged Information. Science sure has the ability to come up with such novel handy interface with high-end technology, like smart phones and other sensorial Artificial Intelligence devices, which could facilitate higher cognitive abilities of top brain layer to attain smoother and faster higher consciousness goals.
We have been talking about the potential of humanity and cultures not being facilitative enough to optimize them. Probably, the most glaring example of this gap between potential and actual is manifested in the area of science and society. If we stand science and its marvelous attainments in the last few decades of the new millennium on the one hand and then compare it with how much this scientific Information and knowledge has percolated and got internalized in societies, we can very clearly see there is a calamitously huge gap between what science potentials for humanity and what human societies have bothered to imbibe and avail. This must change in the new alternative culture of humanity in the coming years. We have clearly seen, how depraved and mediocre political tribes made the hell out of the troubles during Covid pandemic owing to their unscientific and populist attitudes, as scientific potential was not assigned its due leadership position. Those societies, where scientists worked in perfect sync and symmetry with political leadership, they successfully controlled the pain and devastation caused by Covid pandemic.
The new millennium, we are living in, is full of scientific potentials. The sad part is that all these potentials are very poorly invested and nurtured in societies and cultures. The contemporary cultures are still dominated by commercial, political and faith related stupidities and hypocrisies. Scientific Information has no takers. Somehow, the reach and accessibility of scientific information is also precarious. In contemporary human world, science and its objective Information alone should be the singular benchmark for shaping societal rights and wrong, good and bad. All human systems must run on the basis of science alone and not faith-commerce-politics. And, when we say ‘science’, it does not mean the discipline or subject of science but this mind consciousness of objectivity, non-intuitiveness, logicality, skepticism, rationality, verifiability, measurability, etc. Even the current scientific potential is good enough to correct most troubles of societies, cultures and individuals. The coming decades however shall unleash such potentials for science, which humanity can benefit tremendously. The field of Consciousness is one of the frontier areas of scientific potentials in future. We humbly list some of them and how humanity can benefit.
There are some areas of scientific knowledge, where human potentials for growth augment exponentially. These areas then lend support to related domains of scientific advancements. Contemporary human knowledge is advancing exponentially in the domains of artificial intelligence, neuroscience and probably also in biology. Somehow, probably only recently, there has emerged an assimilation of these frontier sciences and the cooperative initiatives are likely to yield better potentials in future. The most mesmerizing however is the huge advancements in artificial intelligence and data computing technologies. This sure has the potential to lend big support to other fields of human knowledge.
Already, scientists are claiming that within a decade, they may be able to have the Singularity in artificial intelligence domain. This means, humanly designed machines can very nearly simulate a human brain. This is brilliant. The flip side of it and its probable calamitous causalities are another aspect, about which we have hinted at. We are not into it as we all know; human potentials are always susceptible to high entropic propensities. What we look at is the brilliance of scientific knowledge. We all know, human brain is a hugely complex information processing system. A man-made machine equaling the processing potentials of human brain is major achievement. It definitely opens up gates of many brilliant probabilities.
A rather interesting potential of the frontier technological advancement of artificial intelligence may be the simulation of human brain and computational mapping of consciousness, as the emergent holographic imagery. The Information, which pathways through different layers of human brain and creates ‘representations’ of Realities, through massive patterns of assemblage of neural plexuses, may very well be possibly mapped successfully. This at least can provide a close simulation of the Reality of Information processing of brain states and the basics of the emergent properties of Consciousness. This may be a huge leeway in modeling some fundamental programming, for the artificially created brain to engender novel and alternative goals and purposes.
For example, the new technology and its human interface probably can map the current Consciousness of a person, feeding relevant information data and simulating the holographic imagery of that person’s probable behaviors and actions. This function probably can provide an alternative method to facilitate those roles, which a human brain should and could ideally do. The most cherished role, as we have been discussing currently, is what the Higher Consciousness of a person is supposed to do. The artificial intelligence can create an interface of Higher Consciousness of a person. The alternative artificial brain of a person in a computer probably can diagnose the current and existing limitations and debilitations of a person’s consciousness and then prescribe behavioral and attitudinal corrections. It may be able to resolve the current genotype-phenotype conundrum. It may very well be like the diagnostic and curative roles a doctor currently performs for a diseased person.
Moreover, the most significant can be the design of a programming platform for standardization and objectivization of Information. The programming can standardize definitive ‘protocols’ for all Information that reaches a person through different devices like computers, smart phones, internet, mass media etc, so that all Information at source and also at end-user pass through the protocols for veracity checks. The protocols may define the required elements any Information must have to qualify as true one. If not, the interface shall flag it as fake and fudged, so that the end user can know what he or she has to do with it. It is like a filter, which is currently being used. Many information providers are already using protocols to filter ‘Unwanted’ and ‘Unsafe’ contents on the internet. It is also like the set of rules, which have to be there for any piece of ‘Evidence’ to be accepted in a court of law. The express purpose is to weed out fake and fudged Information into societies and cultures. The average human mind is not aware enough to filter Information. The artificial intelligence has the potential to install standardized filtering processes under high benchmarks of objectivity and precision, so that an average person gets only verified and genuine Information. Information benchmarking is what artificial intelligence can do very successfully and it shall ensure; what we have previously talked about; universality of Liberty to all. In one line, technology can present an external mechanism of Higher Consciousness, which could work like the sentinel of protection and guidance. This is the situation of Hybrid Consciousness, but for facilitative purposes.
Scientists are also already talking of some diagnostic as well as interventionist super technology, which can access brain’s information plexus. This can make a man-made machine get real time data about possible causalities of entropic thoughtfulness and detrimental ‘mental representations’. The corrections could be interventionist or behaviorally curative. The primary facility is to have access to Information within brain states. It is all about how humanity installs mechanisms and processes, which have the potentials to safeguard the precious sanctity and sanity of Information, within a person’s mind consciousness as well as in external milieus of societies and cultures. As we have been talking about the crucial and critical role the Information has in the spectrum of Realities human consciousness and human systems; we can understand how big facility it can be if human knowledge could ensure the highest standards of sanctity and sanity of Information.
I cannot resist keeping my objectivity aside for a while and allowing my subjective consciousness to speak about my own favorite piece of probable future technology. I hope for an artificial intelligence facility; combining elements from the domains of neuroscience and quantum biology, in very near future, which could present a holographic simulation of ‘Probabilities of Causalities’ for every mind consciousness. It could be like; I am presented with this Interface of Information Processing Technology, where I shall personally feed all personal Information data regarding my own being, consciousness, behavioral-attitudinal attributes, preferences, belief patterns, etc; either through option-building questionnaire or otherwise. The interface may also supply protocols and extensions to derive information from my brain states. Then; the processing mechanism matches them, weeds out discrepancies, constructs computational pathways to assemble an ‘Informational Model’ of my Consciousness. This Informational consciousness can then be transformed into a holographic imagery of my own being on a screen. Here the magic shall begin…
This alternative holographic me or ‘I’ shall then be fed, one by one, different probabilistic ‘Causalities’ that any human being may confront in his or her life-living. The interface would then process all relevant Information data available and simulate the most likely behavior-attitude-action a particular ‘Causality’ shall elicit from my holographic consciousness or ‘Simulated I’. For example, the interface would be fed with a probability of causality of me ‘reacting’, if my girlfriend ditched me. Oh! As this is an impossible probability ay my age; so may be, the interface would be assigned the ‘Causality’ of me reacting to the event of me being diagnosed with a serious disease. Etc. As I shall be seeing a simulation of me in its behavioral/actional avatar, it shall facilitate a whole range of probable Information about future and very naturally; it shall help me in making a valid, right and optimal choice. This facility creates a good and sound probability of an alternative linearity of past-present-future for me and this shall optimize my decision-making. This is somehow what my Higher Consciousness should ideally do for me but then; we all know, how stupid and hypocritical ‘I’ could be, if not provided with right and true Information! This interests me because, my own personal experiences with people and life-living make me understand that most often, people do something and opt out something, which is a decision in the reactionary or intuitive ‘presentness’ of their current mind consciousness, they regret in future. In majority of cases, people have the potential of their innate consciousness to do better and make better choices but their reactionary propensities and priorities in presentness and contemporaneousness of Time, lead them to wrong or inappropriate ones they later regret. Often, it happens as the consciousness either does not have right-true Information or it somehow fails to line them up at the point of a reactionary decision. If only they could be made to stop for a while, see how future would play out the fallouts of their hasty and reactionary decisions and choices, through a simulated holographic ‘I’; they in most likelihood be saved of their inevitable regrets. No doubt, the world could be a better place. Like, if the ‘Simulated I’ of a person could tell in advance how his ‘current’ reaction to the probable causality of his girlfriend leaving him would play out in future; he probably would lend more time and poise to his decision and this may save his relationship or at least the ‘negativity’ that would accrue out of his decision or choices! Anyway, many scientists would love to make you believe that I, you and our life-living is just a simulation of the mega information processing mechanism of the cosmos! A simulation within a simulation may at least expose the bad and unworthy design of the cosmic simulation!
What I am attempting to point out with great respect towards the potential of non-intuitive thinking of collective human mind consciousness, is this huge probability of facilitating true, right, objective, accurate, innate, unadulterated Information Plexus to average human being. The potential adds more facility and empowerment to an average person by this currently missing linkages of his or her ‘Present’ with past and future. The option-building of Information about varied probabilistic choices that a person can and should make, when confronted with a certain life-living ‘Causality’, can be a huge platform for wellness and excellence. Ideally, the higher consciousness is powerful and potent enough to perform this stupendous task but as we know, it is available to only a handful. The Holographic Me may also do the task better. This idealism of Hybrid Consciousness is probably something humanity can live out for optimizing its true potential. This is what we seek for humanity. This is what the Higher Consciousness of a person does and facilitates. However, as it is very tough for an average person, struggling with his or her survival woes in daily life-living, to work out this Higher Consciousness, the technological wherewithal doing it for him or her shall be great. This sure is not the space to talk about the flip side of this all, so we are leaving it on your imagination. You already know, how human potentials works best when offered a probability of calamitous choices!
What truly is a near future potential of huge benefit to humanity is the probability of artificial intelligence being able to equal the processing capabilities of human brain. This may facilitate a knowledge domain, which may successfully weed out massive amount of faith-based stupidities and hypocrisies the contemporary world of spiritualism and religion very sneakily proliferate for detriment of mass majority of innocent, unaware and uninformed-misinformed people. As we have discussed above, the science of Emergence and the science of Causality of Reality is currently crippled by the fact that the current potential of scale, interconnection and diversity of Information for computation, which are required for simulation of specificity of emergence and causality is not available. As in very near future, humanity attains this singularity of artificial brain equaling and even surpassing human brain’s innate potential of Information processing, scientists may very well be able to unravel and decipher the ‘Code of Causality’ of myriad shades of Emergent Realities. This shall definitively weed out the faith-based stupidities and hypocrisies. This shall facilitate the model-building for alternative and novel Realities and life-living purpose for larger humanity. The unraveling of magic of Information processing at molecular and cellular levels may truly be portals for a new humanity.
As we said earlier, we shall not go into the details of all shades of potential and probabilities that futuristic science may open up for humanity but we shall definitively list out what we are expecting in very near future and they are truly mesmerizing. We are expecting criticality and singularity in the domain of Information and its massive and very complex holism. This shall happen as contemporary science is making exponential progress in the domain of artificial intelligence and molecular biology. These twin domains have the massive potential of unraveling the holism of Information at Media as well as Milieu levels. They may reach out to decipher the innate and entrenched Information and Language of the very building blocks of reality, which are there for Coding the Causality of Reality. I invest best of my hopes for that.
As I very humbly insisted at the very start of the eBook, Optimism Alone Is Immortal and it has to be. The grief and gloom presiding over every neuron of my brain states is powerful; yet, it cannot smother the optimism my higher consciousness invests in human potential. I remain invested in the potential of human consciousness but I also understand the pragmatism of the realities at the grassroots levels. That is why I insist on optimality of human potentials through the singular element of sanctity-sanity of Information, which I consider as inevitable for Liberty. Human potential without Liberty is impossible. The Liberty is possible only when there is facilitative Milieu. That is why I have very humbly attempted to talk with you around these core ideas of Information, Media and Milieu. I have unadulterated faith in the potential of you and all my readers, who have been magnanimous enough to receive and understand million times more than what I am able to express. I have come this far; writing my 45th eBook in your hands, only because of this unflinching optimism. Optimism alone is immortal. It must…!
