Why are we obsessed with AI?

People are obsessed with AI. The question is: why? The answer can stay in our society. We have the attitude that everything must happen fast. That's why we rather use the Internet than books. There are philosophers, home thinkers, etc, who say that we should go to the library and read books. But when we are in working life we have no time to go to the library and then find things. That we need.  If somebody wants people like students to go to the library and read books they must give time for that. 

When we are at work we must be effective. We have no time to go to the library to search for books, and then write some philosophical thoughts about them. People ask why we give our right to think to AI. The answer is that AI makes everything more effective. If we want to be creative that means we are not effective. If we want to become philosophers we must not expect that our society accepts that thing. 

When we think of something alone we are not social and effective. We are alone with our thoughts. And that is not what society expects us to do. Society wants us to make results. When we write something that takes time. And if we use AI we can make much more texts. Quantity replaces quality. Nobody respects the text that we make ourselves using our own words. People respect models that some other person made. 

Those models make it possible to make more texts and the next step is AI. There is no time to make offers by using your own words. The effectiveness means that people use some models. Lots of offers are better than one that a person makes, using their own words. 

When somebody needs information that means information is needed right in the moment. On our working day, we don't even have time to ask the person who sits next to us that person's name. We don't have time to think about things. And another thing that we have is fear. What if we give a wrong answer? 

That is one of the worst fears in modern life. So if we don't have time to think about things, we don't dare to answer. Using our words, and introducing our own ideas. AI is similar to some poem books. We can take a poem book. And then search for some impressive words and copy them to the text. The next step is the use of AI.

We must use things like AI tools. The AI tool is like a secretary that makes our speeches and other official texts. So we can go in front of people and say, here I read a paper that my secretary has written. That offers the escape door to us. If there is a mistake we can blame our secretaries for that thing.  

The same way, if we make referrals about articles and books that we read, those words might be wise. That's true. But those words are not our own words. Maybe Socrates was a very famous and wise man. But that person wrote his own ideas and words. When we make a speech to our ceremonies we should write our own texts. 

I think that people like Socrates and Plato were very intelligent. But if we just loan those texts, and copy them we cannot find new Socrateses. We cannot find a new philosophy. And what we need is the time to think and the time to handle and observe our thoughts. We are so busy that we have no time to go to the library, and read books. If we are wrong we would face blame. We must have time to go to the Gym after work. We must have time to be social. And we must have time to do many things. 

But then we must realize. That we have no time to sit and read. If we want to go to the library to read books we must find time to do that thing. 

If we buy a book or borrow it. But we have no time to read it. 

That book doesn't offer a very big advance in our knowledge. If we want to get information and use it we must open that book or database etc. And then our mind must be ready to receive that data. 

We don't have time to think about things and the consequences of our work. If we don't dare to write things that we think we cannot find new Socrates and other philosophers. If everything that we write and introduce must be so scientifically proven we should realize that those things don't bring advances.

Free your mind, and think free, it is the key to the real philosophy

In the beginning, I must say that we haven't got a single hard evidence about the advanced technical civilizations, what has lived on Earth before human race has started to dominate the world. Here I must mention, that, of course, there is a story like Plato's "Atlantis", where is mentioned that there have been secret cities what were populated by people, who had squamous skin.

Sometimes I think that maybe Plato wrote pure fiction, and the story of the powerful state, known as "Atlantis" was pure science fiction. In that case, this Mr. Plato, of course, decorated the story more attractive, and he told the story about the "Egyptian priest" who told that first. In the time of Plato people were traveled so much as today, and the "Egyptian priest" was the person, who gave this story the taste of exoticism. And maybe Plato heard that story from some storyteller in some theater, and he made own version of this very popular story.

In fact, the size of Atlantis was not very big, the size of the city-area itself was about 5000 square meters, and I thought that maybe that if Atlantis existed, would Plato make it much bigger, what it was before he got that story. And of course Plato wanted to show his patriotism and the story, how Athens troops won that city were told only for decorating that story and make it more pleasant for the people, who controlled Athens in that time. But there is another kind of things, what people should think before they justify anything. It is possible to make diving suits by using the skin of Catfish or Shark. Other ways are using the greased leather, what also keeps the person dry.

Also, it is possible to dive very long time by using the bottle, where is carbon filter on it. In this case, the "long time" means longer than without that equipment, what is used in World War II submarines to escape and evasion system. But we don't know did those ancient Mediterranean civilizations knew that carbon would clean the air. When we are thinking about technically advanced civilizations, we must understand one thing. In that time about 500 years, B.C. was almost everything what was more complicated that stone-axes technically advanced.

Maybe some city-state holds the techniques like the balloon flight by using heat air balloons. Normally there is a very big mistake, what people normally make when they are talking about advanced civilizations. They think that those ancient civilizations had all technology, what we have today. People don't think simple things, like heat air balloons, what are made by using the natural material. They don't also think that big fishes like sharks tails can also use as the swimming equipment. In this case, the swimmer just pulls the sharks tail like pants and uses that thing as the swim fin.

So in those cases, the ancient Greeks just saw something, what they were not seen before. The dry suits might be very fascinated in the eyes of the Ancient Greeks. But this is only thinking about technical advantages from the long time ago. And when we are looking those stories, we must understand that they were been made better during the history. The last versions of the story of Atlantis might be made under the control of propaganda leader of Nazi-Germany Dr. Joseph Goebbels, who wanted to rewrite history, that it was supporting the propaganda of "white race".

And in that case, the Nazis saw themselves as the descendants of those "White Aryan race", what was living in the Atlantis. This is one perspective for the ancient mythology. It has been always modified to serve the purpose of governments. In the case of stories of ancient Greeks, the background of those very patriotic tales can be found from British headquarters in World War I, what wanted to rise the nationalism in Greece.

The British empire was in the war against Turkey, and in that time Greece was part of Ottoman Empire, and that's why British interest was established revolt in Greece. Of course, that nation must be proud of it's past and that's why British propaganda makers made those stories more patriotic than they ever were because in this case, Greeks must feel that Turkish were tramped the rights of a great nation of Greece. And the reason for that just made the revolt in that area, what was important for Ottomans and Austrians, because that place was the point, what was controlling sea route to the Mediterranean sea, and warships must pass that area if they wanted to leave to sea.

In that case, British commanders thought that the revolt was more easily to establish in Greece than Istanbul, what was in Turkish mainland. The British army needed also supporting area, what might use in the strike against the city of Istanbul. But that plan ever made in action, because the Ottoman Empire falls for internal reasons. This is very interesting part of history, what was rewritten for serving the national interests. And we must understand that when we are reading the texts of ancient philosophers. And at the last, I must ask one question about the ancient civilizations: "have you ever met any ancient Greek, who told that there is no hidden civilization on Earth"?

This is the very good aspect of discussions about ancient civilizations. We haven't met any ancient Greek, and even we meet some person from that era, that person can tell lies to us. But maybe those ancient wise men had created the method how to fix our DNA, or they have put their diary in the place, where it was not destroyed. But as I told you the diary can also be faked by some members of British Headquarters in 1916. Or this can be made by some antique dealer in 1992 when he tried to sell that thing to some person, who wanted to show that Ancient advanced civilizations were true.

What actually is ancient Greece in philosophy?

http://kirjabloggaus.blogspot.fi/p/what.html

Kimmo Huosionmaa

Many times in philosophy have mentioned some persons from ancient Greece. That place and time were full of philosophers, who created many thoughts about things, like idealistic republic and atomic models, but people almost ever asked one simple questions about those philosophers. They ever ask "why those texts are made in long time ago"? In philosophy, the key thing is not proof anything like in some empiric investigations. And what means or what is the role of ancient Greece or philosophers of ancient Greece in that profession. Another question goes like this: what is the difference between the philosophical and historical Greece?


The element of philosophy is to use rhetorical argumentation, what makes those texts or speeches feeling right. And the problem of philosophy is that philosophers are professional thinkers, who sometimes say something, what is not pleased the persons who keep the force in their hands. And that's why is more comfortable to say that some ancient philosopher said those things before some Voltaire said those things in some place because in those cases Mr. Voltaire would be escorted in the cellar of that castle, and then the brutal extortion began.


In the time of Voltaire, there was one golden rule in making writings. The kings or other noblemen should not embarrassed, and the best way to embarrass those people was show that they were wrong. Kings were perfect people, what means the thing, that they could ever be wrong in many cases. But when we are going to meet the modern philosopher's relationship with some man, named Socrates or Plato, we must say that none of the modern philosophers could ever meet those persons from ancient Greece. And in the real life, we can't go and ask anything from Plato or Socrates.


Maybe in some day in tomorrow we could build a time machine, and then we could go to meet those great men from Greece, but before that, we can only use our imagination, why those philosophers claimed to say something, what might be the reason, that those philosophers have made so much claiming. Other philosophers have put their own texts to their name, and we can't go to ask those Greeks that what they really have said or written in some garden in ancient Greece at the beginning of history.
