Psychological Considerations Fundamental to a Conversation Engine
The Five Eyes is an Anglophone intelligence alliance (United States, England, Canada, Australia, New Zealand) which, with surveillance, attempts to decipher signals coming from persons and nation states which tend not to be compatible with the backgrounds of English and English speakers. These antipodal cultures seem to the Anglos to range from the xenophobic and untrustable (China), to the nihilistic and corrupt (Russia) to the absurd and dangerous (North Korea) and to the religiously intractable (the Middle East). Other antipodes seem also to be emplaced domestically in less self-sovereign but in relatively organized ways (feminist Wokeism, the January 6 2021 insurrection in the US). This diversity of culture has suddenly made the problem of 21st century governmental consent rather severe.
We want to treat and solve the general problem of government as psychological.
Government’s top shelf response to the problems of human conflict is surveillance and intelligence. Intelligence is always the way to reach and maintain biological equilibrium, and biological intelligence is aways multi-scaled and collective. We think humanity can get itself and its social world to achieve a continually refreshed equilibrium, likewise characterized by life and life processes, and we expect a preference for personal transparency and for legitimate personal surveillance to develop and to play the top shelf role future government.
People in society are continually reading one another and deciding, on substantially opaque and intuitive grounds, whether to approach or avoid each other. We think these approach/avoidance decisions can and should be made on the basis of more or less full information, and, with the advent of Big Data Artificial Intelligence, we think a conversation engine, voluntarily accepted and utilized by individuals everywhere, can prove feasible to operationalize this information to great profit. We think the result of increasingly optimized human approach/avoidance will have an effect on human consciousness, eventually worldwide, and we think the effect will be wonderful.
The fundamental problem with initiating a wholesale effect on a complex, multi-scaled system is how the effect gets introduced. GWF Hegel begins his monumentally complete Science of Logic by directing his reader’s attention to this fundamental problem: “With what should the science of spirit begin?” How indeed?
Hegel settles on the concept of pure being, and we expect Silicon Valley to do the same thing, but in concrete, material terms. We expect it to begin with the intimation of love and stepwise show the world what love really is. We (Alessandra and Carl) expect, as a dyad, and because we are in possession of sufficient intelligence, to be able to love each other in public and perpetually, and thus to give legitimacy to a universal, multi-dyadic conversation engine grounded in the intrigue and wonder of consciousness and the cosmos themselves. In that process we expect to help impart genuine enthusiasm and legitimate hope to a world currently and in multiple ways in distinct need of them.
