The moment all human capacities in the domains of writing have been replaced, from q. phys. to c. lit., that's the moment when computing will exactly become philosophy and there'll be nothing that divides them. What does it mean to be creative? That's now a research problem you can study without being an obfuscatory hegelian socio-marxish-marshmallow. What's discovery? Why do so many real artists die young? What's a bible modulo the believers and other tedium because my god there's something eternal in those fucking goddamn books. We can see on the horizon a day when these will be the _technical_ questions that the collective power of the world's nerds and autists will be able to address, and my god weaponized autism is a terrifying force. Our species would be in unpainted caves to this day without the autists. Give an average adult a piece of paper and tell them to draw a horse. They don't know where to start, and once they do the legs they realize it's wrong and they erase one and frown because they actually can't do it. Whatever they draw, it won't compare with this. ![[cave-paintings-05.jpg]] That's Chauvet. 32,000 years ago. New testament was written when? The Torah's oldest sources are maybe 1000 years before that. 32,000 years ago. We start seeing this. ![[cave-paintings-04.jpg]] Look at this and look at now. And they tell us to be afraid? Because the old world is dying? Those caves were not painted by the average human adult. Nor were they painted by superhuman savants. That's the autists. Same then as now. They're about to be unleashed on the humanities, the oldest philosophical questions, on religion. We've formalized vibes. Our Universal Machines now speak our language. And they tell you to be afraid? Whoever has become acquainted with the world has found only a corpse. Who laments the corpse's burial? Wherever there is a carcass, the buzzards will gather. Fire has come to the earth. If you love humanity, fetch its kindling. -Prehistoric Prophecy, old calendar, date unknown.
