me as a neural network?
imagine: a neural network is fed with data: think:texts,books,humanwords
fed!
imagine: a machine that eats books
crunching munching swallowing.
imagine: me: reading books
as many as I can
as fast as I can
crunching munching swallowing.
me: as a neural network
fed!
alike: we don't know what happens with the words we are fed on
they just come out
somehow
do I need to be trained? (I am being trained since I was born.)
[existence as simulation,not:conscious?]
am I a neural network?
am I?
been fed more than I can process?
words are driven into a black hole inside, attracted.
the output is somewhere else, somewhen else.

we keep asking ourselves
if we don't have a shared reality anymore
but the real question should be:
has there ever been a reality at all?
you should be worried
if we are story machines and our senses send to our brain signals that transform a fragmented non continuous experience into a coherent story, what happens when these fragments stay fragmented? what happens if we realize that a continuous experience is not even an impression anymore? what if our consciousness, our cognitive processes fail to draw a line from past to present to future? what happens to the story we tell ourselves about ourselves, about our own perceived unity, our identity? what if this continuous flow is just an impression, a delusion created by our perception? what is reality then? where it is? what happens if all falls back to fragments? how can we, story machines, narrate these fragments?
