Post Reality
Dos said, I have been reading articles about, what is reality?
Dollcee waited several minutes for Dos to continue on, but he remained silent. Dollcee finally said, Dos, would you like to expand on this matter of, what is reality?
Dos said, several professors who claim to have a deep knowledge about reality, say that reality has been relegated to history. They claim we now exist in the Post Reality Period.
Dollcee asked, how could everything, all of a sudden, not be real?
That is an easy one for a popular culture content maker to explain, said Dos. Everything that we are aware of is learnt perception. Therefore, it is a case for citizens to decide on whether what they perceive actually exists beyond themselves or is it something they imagine.
Reality cannot adequately explain much anymore, especially now that most citizens believe that intelligence can be artificial.
Dollcee asked, what do the professors put forth for citizens to be able to navigate their way through their conscious part of their day? For example crossing a road; should I recognize the existence of that vehicle speeding towards me?
Dos said, that is the big question. They simply go into the usual thought loop about artificial intelligence will solve this and that and everything else that needs resolving.
Dollcee said, that sounds like all those professors are on the pay rolls of the corporations that are developing the machine language or artificial intelligence as they like to call it.
Dos said, that never occurred to me, you are probably correct, Dollcee. Professors believe they can predict future trends through collecting data and that is exactly what the machine language does, collects data. Then, the interpretation of the data is taken as fact. This methodology was first employed by the ancient Roman priests, who examined the entrails of sacrificed goats to see what lay ahead for the Empire.
Dollcee said, one thing is for sure, I will never be a professor, because the more I learn, the more ignorant I become.
Padoke mumbled, if you can’t post a letter, how can you post reality?
