that’s why i turn them off

of course; consciousness is a biologically inherited trait. that inheritance can't cross the human-machine interface.

why? they can get away with it, and you can't.

it's Catch-22. the world is such a mess that if you're happy, you must be delusional.

the beach. mantras. tapasya.

I’m building an experiment called Advaita Inquiry Matrix (AIM).

AIM is an AI-assisted system that models the pedagogical method of Advaita Vedānta. Not a “guru bot,” not mystical content generation or scriptural imitation — but a rule-governed Socratic dialogue system that automates structured ontological inquiry as far as possible.

The idea: • Use a YAML-tagged corpus (Upaniṣads, Śaṅkara, etc.) • Track a student’s conceptual state over time • Dynamically select passages and questions • Apply formal teaching methods (negation, identity statements, paradox, state analysis) • Use constrained Socratic dialogue to expose contradictions

Advaita has a surprisingly rigorous epistemology. The teaching unfolds in a precise sequence. That makes it amenable to: • Semantic tagging • State-machine modeling • Concept graphs • Agent orchestration

The human teacher remains curator and final authority. The system handles structured mediation between text and student.

If you’re interested in AI-mediated pedagogy, knowledge representation, or formal dialogue systems, I’d welcome critique or collaboration.

why would he give up on FSD? they're both impossible problems with today's tech. maybe it was deliberate overreach, maybe hubris; maybe some of both.

if you oppose anything, you're not a pacifist.

they will fail. why? same reason as every other attempt to examine consciousness ‘scientifically’: consciousness cannot be observed.

“How can one know That by which everything is known? How can one know the Knower?” —- Bṛhadāraṇyakopaniṣad

hell, i got busted in 4th grade for using a slide rule to do boring math stuff.

what took them so long? i had a heart attack back in 1987, and the neurological and psychological symptoms preceding and accompanying were obvious.

right: "Understanding the biophysical basis of consciousness remains a substantial challenge" precisely because there is no such thing. according to the Upaniṣads, consciousness is the Absolute. "How can one know that by which everything is known? How can one know the Knower?" — Bṛhadāraṇyakopaniṣad

what seems obvious from this and other articles these days is that western materialistic atheistic capitalist culture has lost its moral compass and has become utterly corrupt—and the disease begins at, and is spread by, the powerful.

i have already done all these

hard to tell whether this is factual or breathless marketing prose. in any case, my strategy is different: simplify my life until it fits effortlessly in my brain—no LLM required.

Self-realization

get a Mac.

both.

absolutely. no. way.

And now, Matthew Scherf has published "A Formal Specification of Advaita Vedānta in Classical High-Order Logic," and verified it in both Isabelle and Lean4. https://github.com/matthew-scherf/Advaita

then why are companies building these huge data centres? Why not invest in more advanced fabs?

he’s right.

i have been waiting for someone to do this. as a nontechnical Advaita practitioner it's a bit over my head logically or mathematically. could this also be made into a formal ontology, like a Protégé model or OWL/RDF file?

much less. maybe it can do rocket science, but it can't edit video transcriptions worth a darn. my paid subscription expires today, and i'm not renewing.

maybe it can write code, but it still sucks at technical editing

once i have determined the leading exponent in any field and understanding his views, i ask whether i know enough to determine whether the information is useful to my purpose. if so, i continue to go deeper; if not, i know enough.

yes—and this is exactly why western astrology is useless. Vedic astrology OTOH remains true to the observed zodiac, and is far more accurate for the experienced jyotiṣi.

i visited Nepal several times over the last decade. the country was a mess. of course it’s a developing nation, but i’m talking about the culture. Chinese influence is growing, and with it the atheistic materialist Communist view. Nepal’s deep Buddhist and Vedic culture is being devastated, state intelligence and surveillance is pervasive, even in the villages. not a fun place to visit anymore. the corruption culture runs deep, and the people are fed up; something like this crisis was inevitable.

i have some experience using ChatGPT in spiritual discussions, to aid scripting videos, supporting astrological readings, etc. the short version is that i had to stop, because its biases and mistakes became too evident. it was clearly either ignorant, wrong or trying to manipulate me, so i have stopped using it except for trivial applications.
