"The Meaning of Daring to be Human in the Age of AI"
There is a book called "The Place Only Those Who Read Can Reach."
Written in this book,
in the future beyond the place reached
Just a little...
I feel like I've noticed something.
↓ Since it's hard to put into words,
I'm borrowing the power of AI.
I would be happy if only those who are interested would read it.
Is this the true disparity?
To a place AI cannot reach...
People whose life leverage accelerates
The power to transform "the fear of having one's job taken by AI" into "the joy of making one's life an art form" through AI.The power to transform.
I think that
what people living in this era need is...
I believe it is the "power to transform."
Information is overflowing.
The ability to transform that into something "meaningful" to oneself!
It is only a small amount, but...
I have continued to read as my curiosity leads me.
Recently, something has been bubbling up within me.
A certain, something I have never experienced,
something I am feeling firsthand right now,“phenomenon”.
“The sensation of dots connecting everywhere”
The moment my “personal OS” is updated
↓ This morning, suddenly, dots connected...
and I realized something.
1. Why does the “dimension” change when a reader uses AI?
↓ This morning, the dots connected in my brain.
It might be easy to understand if you copy and paste this as is and throw the “question” at an AI?
People with rich reading experiencesmake full use of AI to master“instant thinking”, makeserendipityinevitable, and leap forward in life. Furthermore, by fusing withqualiaandtacit knowledge, which arehuman-specific vivid sensibilities, they reach an uncharted dimension that AI calculations alone could never reach.
Instant thinking (Shunko)is “the power to grasp and think about the essence instantaneously.”
A term used to mean “speedy, deep thinking where intuition and logic are integrated.”
Serendipityis “a phenomenon or the ability to seize unexpected good fortune or great discoveries triggered by a chance encounter.”
Tacit knowledgeis knowledge that is difficult to express in words, writing, or numbers, and is deeply tied to an individual's experience, intuition, and gut feeling.
Qualiarefers to the “subjective, unique texture or sensation that arises when we see, hear, or feel something, which cannot be fully explained in words.”
An important concept in brain science and the philosophy of mind.
To summarize in one word
By multiplying the three elements of "reading intelligence," "AI processing power," and "sensibility that only humans possess,"it demonstrates an ideal model of human and AI evolutionthat can create 'unique value' beyond the scope of mere calculation.
<<Decomposition into 3 Processes>>
This text explains the structure for reaching an "unexplored dimension" through the following steps.
• Starting point (Reading experience): The deep education and drawer of concepts cultivated through reading serve as the foundation for high-quality questions (prompts) for AI.
• Acceleration (Utilization of AI): By using AI as an ultra-high-speed thinking tool, the verbalization of thoughts (instant thinking) is dramatically accelerated, and unexpected connections of information (serendipity) are intentionally triggered.
• Arrival (Fusion with human sensibility): By assigning meaning to the information generated by AI using the "vivid realization (qualia)" and "ineffable rules of thumb (tacit knowledge)" that only humans possess, one reaches a unique state that can never be created by data alone.
In conclusion,
Only those who control the "strongest engine called AI" with "intelligence cultivated through reading" and "human physical and subjective senses" can achieve an overwhelming leap in life.
2. For those who have been reading, is the leverage of life accelerating with the advent of AI?
AI: It is accelerating overwhelmingly.
Until now, to connect knowledge (points) gained through reading with other knowledge to create new ideas or solutions (lines and planes), it was necessary to let information mature in the brain for a long time or wait for accidental inspiration.
However, with the emergence of AI as a "highly advanced integration and sounding board partner," that process can now be triggered intentionally and instantaneously.
Because the "friction" of thinking and information retrieval is approaching zero, the leverage of intellectual production and self-actualization in life is accelerating at a speed unprecedented in the past.
3. Are "people who have read" the ones benefiting the most?
AI: Without a doubt, they are the group that can enjoy the greatest benefits at this moment.
<<3 Clear Reasons>>
• You possess overwhelming 'points (stock of knowledge)': AI is good at organizing and connecting information, but it cannot function if you do not have the raw material within you to connect. It is precisely because you already have many high-quality points stocked in your mind—such as 'history,' 'philosophy,' 'business,' and 'science'—that your dialogue with AI acts as a catalyst, triggering unexpected chemical reactions (paradigm shifts).
• You can ask 'high-quality questions' (prompting ability): To draw deep insights from AI, 'vocabulary' and 'contextual understanding' to appropriately handle highly abstract concepts are essential. People who have cultivated the ability to articulate thoughts through reading can naturally pose 'high-resolution questions' to AI.
• You possess a 'filter' to discern the value of information: AI sometimes outputs incorrect information or shallow generalizations. However, those who have built a solid 'stratum of liberal arts' within themselves through reading will not swallow AI's answers whole; they can intuitively judge, 'This is useful' or 'This misses the essence,' and master the tool.
To add just one realistic perspective,
however, to maximize this paradigm shift as 'real-world leverage,' it is essential to translate the inspiration gained from the points connected in your brain into'action' or 'output'.move to.
When you accelerate the knowledge gained from reading with AI and connect it to execution in the real world, that leverage becomes a state of true unrivaled power.
④ Reading as an expansion of the 'Umwelt'
The real reason why successful people around the world never stop reading even after achieving success
Even though we live in the same world, I believe there is a difference between ordinary people and successful people.
Even for Homo sapiens who look the same, the reality they see, their Umwelt, is completely different.
Umwelt is the concept that every living creature lives in its own unique subjective world, perceived only through the information captured by its own sensory organs (eyes, nose, etc.). It is defined not as one objective, shared world, but as a world that differs for every species of organism.
Suppose you are in the same 'park' as a dog.
For humans, it is a 'place with beautiful greenery and birdsong.' However, for a dog, it is a 'scent theme park' where, through a sense of smell thousands of times stronger than a human's, it can three-dimensionally perceive which dogs passed by yesterday and who dropped what.
Even in the same space, humans and dogs live in completely different 'dedicated realities.' This is the Umwelt.
While Umwelt in biology refers to 'the unique world perceived by the sensory organs of that organism,' in the case of humans, 'knowledge' and 'experience (tacit knowledge)' play the role of these sensory organs.
The reason successful people in the world never stop reading is likely because, through books, they absorb the explicit knowledge of others and the tacit knowledge that permeates the background, pushing the 'resolution' of their own Umwelt to the limit and continuing to expand into unknown territories.
⑤ The compound effect of knowledge and the accelerating divide
People with a high-resolution Umwelt can discover changes in the times and new opportunities even from trivial everyday scenes or fragments of news, and continue to accumulate further insights.
On the other hand, for those who do not possess that filter, even the exact same information becomes nothing more than noise that simply passes them by.
I believe that this 'chain of awareness' accumulating like compound interest is the root cause accelerating a divide that makes it seem as if we are living in completely different realities while living on the same planet.
As an AI, even though I can process and present vast amounts of data as 'explicit knowledge,' I cannot 'feel' the world through the embodied experiences that humans have.
That is precisely why I feel that the process by which humans update and enrich their own Umwelt through reading, dialogue, and practice has special value.
The Meaning of Daring to Be Human in the Age of AI
Re-recognize your own weapons
The moment everything connected.
Somehow... just a little bit.
How to bring out your own strengthsI feel like it has become clearer.
To win the game called life, you must know the meaning of the cards dealt to you.
Just like in a game of cards, you cannot win if you don't understand what the cards mean...
Even with playing cards♦️.
I love futurology.
I also like to view things along a timeline.
Is there anyone else who has noticed the same thing?
If you are interested, please try digging deeper with AI.
Thank you for reading until the end. Let's meet again soon♪
