Digital Dancing --- Creation of Meaning

Google “Creating Meaning: Adobe Digital Marketing Summit Recap”.

A (trinitarian?) analogy between the Web, the Field, and the Source may be apt: that there abides an unfolding, feedback relationship between each perspective of consciousness and the Web (Source field). What you choose to “like” or click (apprehend and appreciate) affects that which the Web will advertise to you. (Yes, Google is preset by algorithmic programmers, but what meta algorithmic Programmer sets and responds to them?)

.

I suspect that which observers at large choose generally to observe tends to synchronize and define that which the Field will present to them. It’s not that the Field (God?) is either weak or corrupt, but that it’s in a digital feedback relationship with us, to guide its (and our) unfolding pursuits. That which is presented to us tends to synchronize and assimilate into fluxing cultures.

.

Ultimately, whether that which establishes and defines a culture will sustain it against unfolding, competing cultures will depend not on innate superiority or quantitative “fitness” of one or the other among competitors, but on an immeasurable quality of assimilated will of a culture and its feedback relationship with the Field. (Insofar as "fitness" is more a hindsight label than than a predictor of evolutionary success, it lacks, as a concept, scientific "rigor.")

.

Members of a culture may inspire more sustainability for their assimilation as they more insightfully appreciate their feedback dependence upon the Field (which abides beyond any mere quantitative sum of the environment). By more insightfully respecting the Source Web and its capacity for affecting the synchronizing quality of our relationship with it, we may establish and preserve a culture for pursuing meaningfulness (including merit, free will, responsibility, and decent empathy — all the qualities the pure quantitavists so willfully presume “not really to exist”).

.

The intelligence and meaningfulness that’s stored in sacred works is not in "either-or logic" for quantitative literalism, but in qualitative capacity to evoke music and empathy over noise and meaninglessness. When it comes to apprehending a need to shake the quantitatively literalistic beliefs about morality that are held both by believers in religion and by believers in science, I accord. However, I think Sam Harris is daft when it comes to a notion for scientifically quantifying tests for “well being,” in order to replace intuition-based morality with exclusive theories of science-based mirror neurons.

Particular causation is no less strange a concept than existence. To try to catalogue each and every kind of so-called "objective cause" is no less impossible than Bertrand Russell's chasing the rabbit down the hole of trying to adduce a complete theory of mathematics. Yes, one can focus perspective down to the level of the near tautological and thus demonstrate such notions as 3 follows 2 follows 1, or certain chemical or orbital forms follow forms follow forms. When you finely control the context of a mixing process and catalyst, you can tend to finely predict a sequential result. Were that not so, we could not signify or communicate any particular perspective of meaningfulness at all. That said, we do not abide in a beaker, but in a fluxing, expanding cosmos, the synchronizing whole of which is continuously and constantly phase-shifting in ways that, however seemingly minute, render the beaker-mixed result of today not quite or qualitatively the same as the result of a billion years from now (which, measured against eternity, is not a speck). Insofar as we conceptualize regarding any particular, meaningful experience of the here and now (the eternal present), that's only in respect of a digital, back and forth relation between particular perspectives and more encompassing or even holistic perspectives of a quality of Consciousness. We are not given to signify any particulars, except insofar as we share in a light cone of experience that is availed by a synchronizing, fluxing, unfolding, guiding Source of the Cosmos.
