Hi, I'm Christopher Tarampi and these are my views of the world, my random writings and awesome things I want to share. FACEBOOK: http://www.facebook.com/ctarampi PORTFOLIO: http://www.estheticcore.com

Technology is an extended phenotype, outsourced cognition

The “extended mind” thesis is by Andy Clark and David Chalmers in which objects within the environment function as part of the mind. The mind, body and environment are seen as a unprincipled distinction, a coupled system. Our minds are a dance between our brains, environment, and tools.

Amber Case, a cyborg anthropologist, says that basically our smartphone devices gives us “technologically mediated telepathy”. Like sending text messages sending your thoughts through folds of time and space by just a few key strokes and sending it instantly at the speed of light, to connect and share to the global conversation through social networks, to record real life as it happens, getting universal access to information, creating wormholes at the ease of a small handheld device.

Richard Dawkins talks about the “extended phenotype”. Examples of that would be like a nest for birds or a mound for termites. Technology is like an extended phenotype; not separate from us, but part of us. Technology connects us to us, an outsourced cognition. 

Patterns throughout all scales of reality

Isn’t strange how this pattern, this inner filament structure is seen through all scales of reality when pulled out viewing it from a macro scale. From patterns structure in nature that transcends to man-made systems to your brain to the structure of the universe to even the structure of dark matter. The neurons in the brain look exactly like the information sharing systems that comprise the internet which look exactly like computer models of dark matter in the universe. 

I believe that the mycelium fungus is the earths natural internet. The earth created the computer internet for its own benefit because we humans are the top organism. We are distributing resources in order to protect the biosphere. Even dark matter conforms to this same structure of the myceliene archetype. This pattern is probably a consequence of a previously proven biological successful model because it takes the path of least resistance. The universe wants balance and it’s going to find it through the most efficient means it can.

Red String of Fate

The red string of fate is an invisible red thread connects those who are destined to meet, regardless of time, place or circumstances. The thread may stretch or tangle, but will never break. But along the line with relationships, I believe its something that 2 people have to contribute together, not just destiny, it’s 2 people sewing the thread together; instead of the thread already sewn.

Games extend powers

You can transcend the limitations of your mind and body. I think gamers a transhuman as you can extend who you are. You can power, intellect etc… Game players download video games downloading a new reality augmenting their reality into alternate universes and worlds designed to our aesthetic design. It’s not just a analytical gain and skill, but also an emotional journey where you play as another person and become immersed to gain personal catharsis and transcendence. You modify yourself, powers etc…  Players free their minds from constraints of time and space; just like transhuman thinkers; forward thinking and technology adapting people.

Creating your own reality

Rid of people that hold you down on your own evolution to help yourself evolve; negative energy. Holding onto the past grips you from growing and letting go to move forward. If you find like minded people, you create that reality together. You find people with the same ideas, feed it. Just like schools and your major. Your creating visions. You experience the same soundtrack.

Infinity Infinity Infinity

If you look at one small part, you can see other things about other parts, the entire whole is contained by the part. So its like you cant take any part of reality out because its a reflection of other particles. If you were to take a pattern, and look at it, it would be whole and complete, but if you take any portion of that pattern out, and you EXAMINE that pattern closely, you’ll now see that pattern repeat itself over and over again too. Everything is a reflection of each other. A quantum entanglement of cause and effect.

Potential of Technology / Universal Black Hole

What if one day man-kind creates an artificial black hole because of technology?! Look at the technological progress as we head toward the singularity. (STEM) Space, time, energy and matter; technology takes less space, less time, less energy going through that matter as technology gets more complex. Space, time, energy and matter COMPRESSES as technology PROGRESSES! More energy per second per gram than the surface of the sun. So much density, complexity and information as we go smaller which would create a rapture through space and time! A universal computer black hole!

Imagine 50 years from now. I mean we already have medicine with nano technology in them… The cell phone in your pocket today is smaller, faster, cheaper, stronger than a super computer was a couple years ago. That’s the rate of the exponential growth, so now that our technology has EVOLVED, that means it will evolve QUICKER and the lag time is SHORTER because our tools are helping us create MORE tools EASIER! Longer battery lives, everything! What about a 3 inch flash drive holding 2 Terrabytes?

How far can we go with being able to have so much information and power that small? So the exponential growth within 100 years is going to be amazing. If a phone has more power than a super computer was that took buildings, then we can say we are exponentially growing. The small steps that were taking with getting close to technology were we can hold so much in our pockets, we could soon be in us interfacing with our bodies.

We think these things can’t happan, its because were so blind to how we are actually evolving because its happening right now.

Complexity gets smaller as the computer chips get faster. In a hundred years imagine the complexity of something smaller than an atom. 

Consciousness is at the base of mind, thought and matter altering our fields of reality

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Byqy249bXkc

Consciousness is at the base of mind, thought and matter. All mater is exist and originates from a force that brings the particle of an atom to vibrate. Our minds are the matrix of matter. Everything around us is a result of a frequency; if you amplify that frequency, the structure of the matter will change. 

Its the act of consciousness that actually creates the building blocks of what the universe is made up. You can’t imagine what the universe would be made of it existing because its the act of us observing the universe and world around us thats allowing us to create it as we go. It’s participatory. We may never find the edge as we are looking to see what defines what the universe looks like. Everywhere where the consciousness explores, the expectation, observation, is the act of us creating action for us to see. We are building the universe as we go.

We should be careful in what we believe about in the future because the more you attach to a belief system, your helping creating it by believing it. Every thought is reality built out of thought and our every thought starts to build reality. 

Science is telling us that when you change the field of whats around an atom you change the atom. So when we have feelings in our hearts, where changing the fields. Were really altering the fields of reality.

23 and Me

https://www.23andme.com/

23andMe is a retail DNA testing service providing information and tools for consumers to learn about and explore their DNA. We utilize the Illumina OmniExpress Plus Research Use Only Chip which has been customized for use in all of our products and services by 23andMe. All of the laboratory testing for 23andMe is done in a CLIA-certified laboratory.

You can discover your genes and plan ahead for your future. If you find out your in risk possibly for something because its in your genes, then you can plan ahead for the future so you can basically hack your biology! This is amazing son! If were already trying things to make us live longer and for see the future and path of our natural dna was supposed to evolve, this is playing with our biology. That’s sort of playing with God right? We are finding ways to prolong our destinies. Imagine if the energy toward trying to live longer keeps exponentially growing. I wonder how far it will go.

Language as a Primitive Language of the Past

Should telepathy be discarded? Scientist say 99% of our DNA is junk. What if hidden in the 99% of our DNA is the ability to be telepathic or to see the future. Even at the time Einstein exposed ideas in his time about reincarnation. In the Middle Ages, men thought the earth was flat and the sun and planets orbited the earth. In 100 years, questions will be answered beyond your wildest dreams. If you took a caveman and placed him in the time now, he’d think he’s on a peyote psychedelic trip on some drug. Give him a movie like Harry Potter with all the imagination like dragons, witches, magic and he’d shit himself. Is it science fiction to say that our minds in the future far ahead, will have a neurological network that talking would be a primitive language? Language as a primitive language of the past? Humans couldn’t read in their minds at one point in time and was praised as if a God if you could read in your mind. Everything seems impossible because it’s out of our thought, and then soon becomes real.

Mortal

“The gods envy us because we’re mortal, because any moment might be our last. Everything is more beautiful because we’re doomed.” - Achilles

We are Gods. We are housed in a decaying body. We are Godly but creaturely. We can ponder the infinite. Our minds can be so beautiful and complex. Think about it.

Would you want to live forever and see were humanity goes in the future? Would you wanna see technology evolve? Or possibly be there when there are alien contact? Would you want to live forever or die to see who’s in the upper room above us? Or you could feel life is meaningless like playing a game in God mode and become bored. But to each his own.

The Butterfly Stages

If you look at humanity as a collective, we are growing. If we are evolving, as a whole; imagine zooming out of your seat and into space viewing the whole globe from space, we are evolving and somehow in the future, it will keep evolving like a butterfly and spread its wings. Maybe right now were just in the stages of larva. We are in the conflict stage, but soon the pupa will grow and be strong enough to fly and become blossomed. We may be dying, we may have all this conflict, but soon will we be enlightened, as a whole collective soar.

Explosions in the Sky

We are made up of stardust. The highest mass stars, we are made out of their atoms. Their explosions create the next generation of new solar systems. The explosions scatter their atoms and create the ingredients for new planets and stars. Our own atoms are traceable to the explosions of the highest mass stars! The atoms from the death of a star that creates new solar systems of new life are the same that are in us! The universe is in us. You right now, you are a mixture of stardust, you’re made from explosions in the sky! It’s so mindblowing if you think about it!

Playing with Boundaries

ECSTATIC TRUTH - Waxing rhapsodic on creativity and reality sculpting from Jason Silva on Vimeo.

Art is the rehearsal of actually creating it with technology and science. Art is the lie that reveals the truth. The deeper truth requires a poetic input, something that isn’t found in the literal grid. We encode information and vocalize it to one another like how books contain written information that creates feelings and pictures within us; movies create a catharsis in you to see the world around you different. Sending an SMS (text message) to your friend across the land is a form of telekinesis (your sending your thoughts out into space). The old formats had boundaries, like the first film makers, advant gardist, the french new wave, they were experimenting with the format, but soon kept it rigid and institutional (unimaginative) to keep the status quo (to keep it organized). But the innovators later on lost their spirit that made them want to experiment in the first place: to play with the boundaries! Don’t see the present of what it is, see it as what it could be. And now with the internet today internet, emerging technology, packaging media, you can do anything. That is what new media is about, the boundaries are more fun to play with now, you can do so much to package it up, social media, send information, to collaborate etc… Information technology with the internet today, everyone can join the global conversation, information goes into space, back down to earth into each others computers; were rising above the biosphere to exchange information. Information is perpetuating, were rising above the biosphere. We have so much at our disposal.
