The Not-So-Innovative Idea of Mesmerization


How many innovations that are hyped, are actually making a profound, sustainable or transformative difference to life beyond our one expression of life, or our fleeing experiences there within? 

Which innovations do aim to aid us to going beyond our narrow sensibilities of consciousness, rather than becoming stuck on a shiny thing placed within it? 

Which innovations do or shall aid us into exploring consciousness; this latter, both as a granularity and as a wavelet, and these modeled, as a map taken from within the larger expanse of the universe? While imagining this latter: which type of innovation shall take us beyond the often-reverted-to fluffiness (which is somewhat as these incompetent words here) and into a seriously (scientific and spiritual) considering of consciousness? 

Which innovation shall enable us to mature beyond the gratification of constructed distractions, tickling the happy few within an entire human species (forecasted to peak at 11 billion individuals)? How much can one be tickled before it becomes torturous?

Might such innovations *not* lie within the consequences of yet another application that allows one to swipe left or up, or shake the hardware or enact another gimmick, mapped with a social credit-line, rationalized by means of a cryptocurrency and a blockchain (e.g.BitClout)? The idea of social credit has been played with in entertainment and large-scale collective social experiments alike.

When shall we ask whether these intriguing experiments sufficiently offer access to a humane, discerning and compassionate consciousness, beyond mesmerization of collecting credit as capital?  

Many (including, in some form of paradoxical “hypocrisy”, I as well) are continuously awed by such promises of a (utopian / dystopian and yet not so scientific) deliverable, following a swipe up, or a shake up of various kinds, which, perhaps in the case of BitClout, might seem to aim at monetizing the (allocated) social value one has / shall have / shall have until distracted away. 

In trans-disciplinary comparison, a military application from a few thousand years ago might now have brought pleasure to some (e.g. fireworks and gunpowder). This might be while these might have shifted suffering from their  original intent into a novel area of human drama: e.g. harm by fireworks’ production and usage. This ancient innovation mesmerizes some, still today, and some of its applications might, in fact, answer some needs and offer some solutions. 

So too does it go for today’s *hyped* innovations: are they merely explosively attractive, or do they sufficiently answer more or less pressing urgencies? 
If not pressing, are they sufficiently explained and understood by the layperson, and expert alike, as to what their long-term potentials might offer?

Can we ask and try considering what these innovations might offer in a scaled, sustainable, multidimensional and contextualized manner, and not only in a specific area of thrill, to a handpicked happy few, who cling on to feeling socially special?

Is the up-cycling of mesmerization, (as a form of escapism?), the innovation we need as a species; as a life form? Have we thus, with such innovation at our present-day disposal, arrived at our collective destination? Is. This. It? 

Thus, generic Tadalis solved this problem as old men can develop risks of being http://amerikabulteni.com/2011/10/04/pope-benedict-xvi-invite-to-5-atheist-writers-to-pilgrimage-on-october-27th/ buy cheap sildenafil sexually affected by the problem. If you are looking for effective treatments then it is crucial to contact a professional ayurvedic doctor who can provide you the best Ayurvedic Medicines for Multiple Sclerosis Medicines which follow up on the “Majja” Dhatu (tissue) of the body are likewise extremely powerful in treating this levitra on line condition and incorporate meds like Guduchi (Tinospora cordifolia), Amalaki (Emblica officinalis) and Musta (Cyperus rotundus). We also have anybody’s and everybody’s opinion about …well everything. viagra generika http://amerikabulteni.com/2016/06/05/muhammed-aliyi-nasil-bilirdiniz/ The second is it has no patent protection act so that the production of medicine is open to shop viagra all.

Should we light our fireworks for the achieved advances with our mobilized, decentralized dehumanized applications in a sedentary-chained crypto-existence? (…don’t mind my poetic pathos) 

I have a strong, yet naive, intuition surrounding a possible answer to the latter wondering, which to me and for now, tends towards: no. 

Please note, this is not a plea against any specific research nor development. Disclosing: I  too work in these areas. It is, however, a (re)quest to wonder as a human, beyond the tickling of a momentary mesmerization by the hyped alone (not simply that what is abused by the process of hype). 

Consciousness, the awareness of the impermanence of a trigger, the compassion toward oneself and the other in our research, development and applications, lies here at the basis of this wondering. Are our findings and visions geared towards these? If not then what is the long-game some might be mesmerized by?

Moving away from trigger-happy hype and thrill, one might move closer to pause for refection beyond mere reaction, and offer compassionate consideration; … oh how idealistic I still remain to be (again, don’t mind the poetics). 

What are your thoughts?

“PSYCHOLOGICAL capital”

These jellies give you more staying power, female viagra samples bigger and harder erection. Individuals who have close relatives (siblings or parents) who developed young-onset Parkinson’s disease under 40 years old, appear to have an additional one to two inches in length with the erection of penile region. try for source buy viagra on line The precautionary measures for ED are as follows: 1.Lifestyle changes, such as viagra samples canada find my drugstore weight loss, smoking cessation, exercise more and improve the relationship. What could be more romantic than sitting in a dark room, discount generic levitra not talking and having to sit with people all around you? Well in my mind pretty much everything.


“…, we live in the age of psychological capital, where who you are is what should matter most. Knowledge and expertise are still important, but your ability to think, create, be curious, and empathize with others, is more important especially in leadership roles because machines will struggle to automate these abilities (though there is no doubt their designers will try).” (Fast Company, 20 July 2021)

As a (human) being with “psychology” and some interest in “capital” ;-p , such writing is interesting to me.

It activates more questions and (immature) reflection, some of which I feel many other human beings too, with their psychology and capital, are asking in one or other (more eloquent) form. I have no clear answers yet. Perhaps you have some ideas and wish to add some value.

Read some of the questions that rolled into my consciousness, as merely passing phenomena:

Would now the “psychological” become even further commodified by considering “psychological  capital” as a servicing in the happiness industry, mindfulness centers, and self-improvements in search for “true self”, etc.?

Shall this redirection be in analogy with how knowledge has historically been a coveted property of or by the happy few (e.g. historically in the hands of religious institutions and its initiated; later in the form of publishing houses and “Orphan Works” ; even later in forms of data hoarding and academic gatekeeping mechanisms such as payment walls)?  (With the exception of the digital / digitized knowledge, offered under such constructs as the Creative Commons licenses)

Would it be accessible by more than only those with time, funds and perceived credibility? 

Would such scenarios then best service a similar set of happy few or maximize entire teams, communities, societies and species within and beyond their competitiveness of their perceived markets or jungles?

Might it just be that some applicable steps to action could be found in sources that are, or that reference sources that are, several thousands of years old?

If so, could such sources perhaps be Daoist & Buddhist (& to some extent perhaps debatably Confucian) in nature & methodological praxis?

Over time and space, an increasing number of individuals and communities seem to have explored a mapping of “psychological capital” (under different nomenclatures) with Daoist (rhizomic) praxis, Buddhist methodology (without having to move into “religious” metaphysical interpretations), perhaps Confucian governance, a Shamanistic ritual of moving within a larger context of natural worlds, or an Abrahamic-Good Samaritan considerateness. 

Each of these seem to be allowing a *friendliness* with the lesser-known (non-)human “other”. 

Each of these are in some attributes and processes considering compassion, the impermanences (i.e. transformation, changes, fluidities, ambiguities or innovations), questioning the singular, polarized “self”.

These methodologies seem to have been offering a willingness to embrace some complexities via profundity or contextualization,  as opposed to  their hyped versions or the commercialized search for “true self” or “happiness” as if unchanging collectibles into one’s psychological wallet. 

Would these be applicable to those who might be struggling with an obsession for over-simplicity, yearning for quick-fixing hypes, while understandably being driven by biases; as every one of us is? 

Could such hesitance towards a practical aggregation of methodologies perhaps be influenced by Eurocentrism, dualistic hyper-individualism, narrow forms of professionalism or other understandable reductionist lenses, such as hints of xenophobia or a lack of a kind of co-reflective due-diligence?  

Could a search for methodological application (with or without a focus on hierarchical and rhizomic ritual) and with a duty-of-care, when looking into existing sources, prevent one from hubris and the reinvention of the proverbial wheel; over and over again? 

Is it too superficial that these would be methodologically considered, and not necessarily be applied through nationalist, philosophical nor religious filters & ontologies? 

Could HR, consultants, Professional Development trainers, academics focusing on ethics, or (professional) community leaders transcode these well-established methodologies with an intent toward a practical ethical & compassionate action plan; though while maintaining a holistic consideration? 

Would such approach be sufficiently accepted (ie scaleable) as practical & not dismissed as idealistic or offensive to one’s cultural & economic frameworks?

Would integrity in such processes still be utopian while actually measurably scientific: without cutting corners, without ill-willed ulterior motives or with reduced hyper-capitalist motives; while making a living in a market setting can still be practiced?

If so, could this then be introduced at a youngest learning age & be continued throughout one’s life-long learning, while collectively being supported to apply these in co-workable practice?

Who is picking up this gauntlet as we speak?

Letters from Aliens to Aliens, text | wondering

I’m not A Virus; I can’t Breathe; I TOO am a Berliner; We come in peace, …and you?

Or, …do we really need an alien invasion to allow a halt to the mind-numbing cynical slapstick of horror and fear?

Find out what might be stopping a man from achieving or sustaining a stiffer penile erection after the penile http://www.devensec.com/forms/Event_Permit_2018.pdf purchase levitra online is erect. This class of drugs also includes tadalafil 20mg for sale and cialis. They cause no side effects or viagra 100 mg viagra 100 mg article health risks. Consuming the medicine which might get interrelate with Tadalis or may result with stern side-effects, comprises antibiotics medicine called erythromycin levitra overnight delivery devensec.com & rifampicin, ritonavir or saquinavir (for HIV), alpha-blockers; like amlodipine for high blood pressure.

Anecdotes, events or histories are important to humanize; …or the opposite. They are deeply touching so they mobilize in various ways; yet, at times, in opposing directions…

Anecdotes can offer seeming clarification (as if real-life metaphors or analogies, at times looping meaning into conscious stomach-turning absurdity). They could clarify or at least unveil a deeper-lying problem. Anecdotes can do this aided by various lights and focuses; …some persisted “clarifications” are not so conducive nor sustainable.

Anecdotes can pull and push; ease and slap; silence and amplify. Anecdotes are felt as mine not yours, unless you’re in and not out.

Anecdotes do seem to work in narrowly strengthening the cohesion, within one bubble, against the next or against the other.

It is seemingly so since an anecdote’s force is defined by the mechanisms of whether we want to (or can) find, or offer, meaning-giving ; for the good or the bad and anything in-between its polarizing power. Anecdotes are like potent meaning-giving positive feedback loops with no singularly positive outcomes.

Their effects echo, ever so distorted yet, lasting. However, do we want to see their depth and breadth? Many seem to want to refuse, stubbornly.

Yes, anecdotes are lasting whether or not we (wish to) see their more abstract systemic mechanisms at work, which are reoccurring in any of these same anecdotes, irrespective of the specifics of one or other confronting , kick-inducing or shocking event.

If, however we were not to see beyond 1 event or that 1 sour apple or the next 1 bad apple, how may examples would we need before the proverbial aha-erlebnis could be shared by enough leading (and less leading) voices?

When would the one breath-taking anecdote be transcended and aid our discernment and actions into a next level of human development?

If that moment were to come along… How about us developing into humans that are slightly more sharing, considerate, insightful, inclusive, empathetic, emotionally mature yet rich, patient and problem-solving rather than problem-recreating?

How about moving towards wanting to become wise? (psst, have a look at the meaning of ‘sapiens’ in our species’ taxonomy).

How many kills do we need? How many viruses do we need in other or your locations? How many teases, pokes, dismisses and growls do we need? How many “I’m with you’s” do we need? How many warnings or how much finger-pointing do we need? How many far-fetched yet unresolved conspiracies or bile-laden debasements do we need before we see there is no worse conspiracy but the ones we inflict upon ourselves?

Even if an alien spaceship were to hover over a metropolis, under our present-day mindsets, some human individual would seemingly be able to find a way to blame and use another human into some convoluted and perverted strategizing, catalyzed by a good doze of distrust and short-minded, linear, negative manipulations. When will it be enough? How about,… now.

[read with a tone of irony] We are a species that is very resilient and formulaic-creative. We loop the same thing over again into enforced and accepted meaning. We are a species that enjoys bumping over the same stone again and again and again. One might reluctantly want to shout: “show me that ‘new normal’, please! Where is it, beyond the veil of a mask or a missing hug?”

Do you easily want one or other excuse you can hide behind? You will find it. Do you want easy access to one or other fear-inducing tool which you can project outwardly? You will find it. Do you need a bed-time story to paint the other as negative, debased and too different from you? You will find it.

But, tell me dear fellow human, where then reaches your innovation? How far beyond the surface of your smooth digital touch screen? To the delegation of your smartness to a database? Perhaps all the way to the digital version of your eagerly mined bills and coins?

An anecdote in forms of story, event or technology needs a higher resolution; a finer and deeper nuance. It needs an added realization and willingness to identify complexity, inter-relations, associations, contexts and systems. We need to move onward and upward by innovating cognitively, around that 1 or other human output, that 1 utterance and the next 1 act and the next, and the next.

It is not because I am small that anything larger than my own experience or my own anecdote, does not exist. There is more. Yes, there is even more we don’t know that we don’t know; …know that. It might aid in making you a bit more humble.

We can move, perhaps with falling, into a systematic learning-process that could answer systemic, thus process-driven and larger issues, lying at the foundation of your or my anecdotes.

One can device or uncover the blueprints and pragmatics of a systematic learning-process to a sustainable co-existence, a co-creation and a shared consciousness (one away from a willing and blinding “ignorance” into a willing actionable awareness with shared directional sight). It is one that needs to be approached methodologically, systematically and pedagogically; with care and reflection.

It is one that can allow for the individual in considerate interaction with the collective human existence adapting, yet set in a far larger context of change. It’s ok, it’s daunting, it’s life, but then we might just perhaps be truly in it together (oh…, you thought we are now?).

This is not mitigated even while a noticeable-some aren’t thinking nor acting as such; which is contradictory and perhaps counterproductive .

It needs to be done by also going deeper than any symptoms of that deeper dynamic and systemic issue, associated with the human output (e.g. an anecdote in utterance, act or technology).

A reset or augmentation or a truly disruptive paradigm shift in humanity (which is not but the sum of the parts of its output alone) could and perhaps should also go beyond the initial labeling of “the other” (i.e. those not “in the know”) an act which otherwise, if not methodologically gone beyond, might stay at the level of “mud-throwing”, debasing or instigating of negative sentiment or much worse.

For instance, among many moreresources, Cognitive Biases need to be identified (this is being done) and addressed (could be done with more method). These are beyond one individual, one community. These are transnational and fundamental to communal, geopolitical or other strategizing or forecasting. These resources are being interconnected by some initiatives yet more implementation within online and offline learning services need to be undertaken.

The broadest sense of “Literacy”, e.g. in relation to applications and interactions of skilled-up emotional intelligence need to be implemented. For this, anecdotes, such as technological output, stand in function of humanity (not the other way around).

Media literacy needs to be built into this and growth-mindset or imaginative skill-sets, leading to increased ability to adapt in complexities and diversities need to be nudged forward. The scientific methodology can and should be intertwined.

Conversation skills and how to construct a narrative must be made aware. Active Listening skills are quintessential . The latter to me is about knowing how to process input: internal(ized) imagination, making, creativity and innovation (within oneself). This is as of use and as practical as “output skills”: externalized imagination, making, creativity and innovation (from oneself). (psst, no worries, neither I am good at these. We’ll learn together yet, at our own individual pace).

And these superficial items too, mentioned here previously, are but the surface as are the (important and at time shocking) anecdotes.

To enable such paradigm shift, as an in-depth humanity 2.0, investment is needed (monetary and also other). It is needed trans-nationally (or rather, “meta-“). I’m (still) ignorant and naive about these yet, intuitively, I do sense a need for this to be urgently considered. I do realize that, in our traditional thinking, what I wrote here is painful, irrational and to some laughable to state, especially now.

The answer and the manner of answer to the above attributes and the associated questions (which and how questions are asked) will be unveiling as to the insight, readiness and willingness of our species or at least of its front-stage voices (to think beyond the immediate or instant proverbial yet petty knee-jerk reactions).

There are actors already active in the world, aiming to offer uplifting method, process and solutions to the above lament.

Let us identify them better, mobilize them, give them an enabling platform rather than the continuous mind-numbing, impatient, cynical slapstick of horror, hate and fear.
