The Battle Between AI Technological Singularity and Conscious Living
The battle now is decisively waged between AI technological singularity,
machine learning, and deliberate progression towards a more
consciousness-centered life. Surprisingly, the end goals of both these
cultures appear as if two curves are converging towards each other.
The technology culture is rapidly progressing towards its goal. The use of
AI technology is not merely sold to us; we have been convinced that it is
beneficial for us. It is working towards the longevity of human life,
enhancing and augmenting cognitive functions, and serving various
medical purposes.
AI Technological Singularity: A Rapid Progression
If you look at the consciousness aspect of life, living more consciously is
also working towards longevity and a healthier life. However, there are
stark differences between the two, and one needs to become slightly
conscious.
If you have a transhumanistic culture, you would be more informed and
smart, akin to machines today. However, you would also constantly live in a
distracted sense. On the contrary, becoming conscious leads to greater
focus and concentration. It is more driven by consciousness rather than
machinery.
While having more information may make you smart in a transhumanistic
culture, it doesn't necessarily make you wise. The ability to process
information is taken over by algorithms, and you end up less wise. In
contrast, learning to process life and becoming more conscious results in
increased wisdom.
Now, its a matter of choice. We must decide which way to go and what
kind of future to carve for ourselves.
