Meaning crisis conversation

• Great discussion. I’m going to try to gather my thoughts.

• We are subject to an ever evolving and complexifying arena with a combinatorial explosive / uncertain problem space and potential goal states
• Inherent domain constraints and agent / arena fittedness providing a capsulated perception of constraints, conflicts, orientation, meaning and purpose
• As autopoietic self-organising systems, we primarily strive to maintain ourselves through optimising our ability to adapt and transcend
  • Relevance Realising / General Intelligence / Optimising opponent processing of
    • Efficiency (simplify/compressing)
    • Resiliency (complexify/particularising)
  • There is feedback dance between the agent / arena relationship
  • There is a velocity to transcendence
    • Flow state balance
    • Cultural / experiential time constraints of knowing
      • Propositional (belief statement to be true/false)
      • Procedural (way of doing something)
      • Perspectival (view)
      • Participatory (action with)
• History has shown this dynamic suffering of opponent beliefs
  • having / being
  • certainty / uncertainty
  • complexification / simplification

What are the lessons I am learning here

• Notice the patterns!
  • Sometimes efficiency wins, maintaining the status-quo through containing / self-deception and optimising through simplification.
  • Sometimes the imposed pressure to change requires letting go and breaking frame towards something more fitting.
  • There is an optimal grip on the balance between efficiency and resiliency that relieves suffering, this is GI/RR
  • One needs to adapt to culture as well as be an individual expression.
• Maybe a simplified view of our task in existence is to
  • Constantly complexify ourselves for fittness with the constantly complexifying environment, to survive by updating ourselves to the environment and update the environment to ourselves.
  • This includes discovering the meta patterns and particulars of how we optimise this process and ready ourselves for even greater potentiality
  • Accept that one derives meaning and purpose from the constraints of the domain.
    • When meaning and purpose dries up, there is more out there to be found, but work is needed to breaking frame and discover it.
    • This process is circular and essential for the optimisation process.
    • There is plenty of historic examples to draw from.
