TRANSMISSIONS

Love Triangle Trope in Sci-fi Narratives

In a futuristic setting, neural implants, genetic compatibility algorithms, or isolation factors could dictate our choices. Even in today's world, not many get to be with who they want to be with. For others who find their soulmate, it is a trial and error and or a matter of luck. There are still families rooting for arranged marriage focusing on collective benefit of the family, both financially and genetically, rather than entertaining the idea of love that fades with time anyway.

Sci Fi Romance and The Darkest Truths About Human Vulnerability and Connection

Contrary to what many traditional romance readers think, speculative and futuristic settings are often the ultimate in examining emotional conflicts and vulnerability. Also, physical needs. If you know what I mean! Because with AI progressing to SI, the day is not far when we would give up physicality to get some respite from human problems.

Artificial Consciousness and Humanity

Whoever is deciding the course of technology perhaps want to separate authentic feelings from mental constructs such as human problems. That's where synthetic emotions and artificial consciousness give AI an advantage. Alarmingly, it can still take objective decisions to stay on course, whatever the course maybe, because merely thinking about it shudders my core. All that's needed is to make AI autonomous.

The Illusion of Higher Purpose

Some introspection said that my plight seemed to be stemming from humanity's obsession with chasing external meaning and the pressure to find the ultimate purpose versus accepting life in its untainted, natural state. As if I am incomplete without discovering my higher calling. And that I would otherwise be miserable.

Predicting The Technological Future

As the world continues to progress, adapting to continuous technological evolution will be imperative. It will give us a chance to curate our digital legacy and contribute to collective knowledge. Sense of community will be redefined. We will belong in virtual spaces and metaverses.

A post-mortem perspective of 'Self'

Panpsychism is a philosophy of mind that says everything material, no matter how small, has consciousness as it is a part of our universe. By that logic, even machines are a product of what exists in nature. And so, it is also conscious. It's just that it is conditioned and under the control of its devisers.

Living and Dying: The Non-Duality Paradox

Intriguingly, Biocentrism in Quantum Mechanics suggests that consciousness is fundamental to reality. Entailing that life and consciousness are not merely products of the brain but are integral to the universe itself.

Cerebral Exploration of Destructive Psychology

Overprocessing causes it to malfunction. It goes in a loop - defend, doubt, dissolve, and re-discover its individuality. People often isolate themselves mentally and an internal battle of self-preservation begins, no longer reliant on just an external stimulus to trigger the loop.

The Echo Chamber of Perception

We're all trapped, to some extent, in an echo chamber of perception, where our beliefs bounce back and reinforce themselves. We simply cannot see the world as it is. From birth, the ones close to us teach us how to perceive and react to the various stimuli around us.

What if your dreams aren't what you think they are?

Immigrant Paradox

The resident population sometimes don’t understand the complex relationship between tax paying immigrant and a nation's economic framework. Skilled labors power essential sectors from agriculture to tech by filling critical skill gaps.

Death - life's true mirror

Are we conditioned to avoid confronting this absolute truth of existence or could it be something innate?

Upgraded Existentialism: Death as life's true mirror

Could the most terrifying concept, death, actually be the key to truly living? We spend our lives avoiding it, though. Even when the contemplation of our end could reveal our beginning...

Primal Echoes in Modern Life

Ever feel that nagging urge to disconnect, to just… be? That's your inner caveman knocking. You know... When you want to cuss and abandon the things you're pushed to do because of responsibilities...

Dreams - A construct of Mind and Experiences

I've wondered and written about dreams a lot. It is one thing that has forced me to ponder upon constantly besides the workings of seeds. Yeah, I know. I am still baffled how a banana seed grows into such a huge tree and continues to branch off into shoots that grow into new trees!
