#selfhood — Public Fediverse posts

As the saying goes, everything is a remix. There is no such thing as an original thought. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news for those who feel this – or a form of creativity – is what separates humans from LLMs, from stochastic parrots.

Riffing on the idea of identity and selfhood after reading Ishiguro's Klara and the Sun.

#Buddhism views #death not as annihilation or soul-migration, but as dissolution of conditioned processes. Modern #neuroscience aligns in that #selfhood arises from dynamic integration w/o a permanent subject. #EndOfLife #neurodynamics show structured transitions, not abrupt cessation. Both traditions question an enduring self, seeing continuity as causal unfolding, not identity preservation.

❝A child hears it said that the stove is hot. But it is not, he says; and, indeed, that central body is not touching it, and only what that touches is hot or cold. But he touches it, and finds the testimony confirmed in a striking way. Thus, he becomes aware of ignorance, and it is necessary to suppose a self in which this ignorance can inhere. …

❝In short, error appears, and it can be explained only by supposing a self which is fallible.

❝Ignorance and error are all that distinguish our private selves from the absolute ego of pure apperception.❞

It comes as a great relief to realise that you could not have lived your life in any other way despite all the reasons and stories you tell yourself about how things could have been different.

They weren’t different because they weren’t.

The degree to which we think our conscious awareness has control and agency over our actions is greatly overstated.

Indeed I would go as far as to say what we think are choices and decisions are pure fantasy applied after the fact to instantiate a sense of a separate, independent entity of selfhood.

You are a wave
crossing an ocean
gliding a curtain
ten thousand feet deep

Now is the curl
that ripples the surface
the past was the future
it’s one giant sea
