Symboleracy and its three branches

Do not miss these videos that are too long to be on this site. But there is no limit to communication, except, if we do not care enough, that GenAI might be able to absolutely control, edit, and even rewrite what we want to say before we can even open our mouths.

In our modern digital and AI world, we need to become literate, autonomous, and endowed with self-learning sustainability in three domains, autonomous yet articulated together. SYMBOLERACY- ... And at the end 300,000 years later, GenAI is colonizing the universe.

IN THE PRESENT SMITHY, THE PAST ORES ARE TURNED INTO THE SYMBOLS OF THE FUTURE 

(PowerPoinT, Excerpt)

https://jacquescoulardeau.medium.com/the-trikirion-of-literacy-987d1c8c82e6 (slightly expanded PPT)

The emergency is already on us with GenAI. No escape, no hiding place. We have to accept it and digest it, either through the mouth, like good food, or with a syringe, like a vaccination. The change that is already here is irreversible. The phylogeny of this GenAI is 300,000 years old – at least – when Homo Sapiens became a long distance fast bipedal runner and started playing with many vowels and many consonants. 

He did not enter the change but he multiplied the possibilities of the Symboleracy he inherited from his ancestors. From this symboleracy, he developed oral literacy, later on, written literacy, along the way, numeracy, and later on again, calculators and techneracy (beyond the use of stones). From the watermills of the Benedictines in Europe, humanity jumped to GenAI, and this is surely exhilarating, and yet with plenty of dangerous possibilities.

THE JEWS IN QUMRAN

https://jacquescoulardeau.medium.com/the-jews-in-qumran-4273d695ab03

 

Robert Eisenman is an adventurer who goes around and finds treasures in caves. His specialty is the scrolls in old Hebrew he found in the caves around the Dead Sea, the famous Dead Sea Scrolls, and today it is accepted that they must have been written and deposited in these caves in the late half of the first century BCE and the first half, a little bit more probably, of the first century AD. The Teacher of this group seemed to be James, Jesus’s own brother, who was assassinated by the High Priest of the Temple in Jerusalem in the most horrible way you could imagine. He was thrown over the walls and obliged to undress completely, which is unacceptable in Jewish ethics. Then he had to dig his own vertical tomb, was set in it, the head over the ground, buried up to the neck, and then stoned and abandoned to die of thirst.

These documents show a perfect continuity with the Old Testament, which is not surprising, but also with the New Testament and the Gospels, which proves the continuity between Judaism and Christianity.

 For me, the most surprising element is the presence, and very well developed what’s more, of the zealot ideology, a dogmatic vision of what Jews are supposed to be, absolutely dominated by and submissive to the Torah. Total fundamentalism that goes along with the elimination of those who are not perfect Jews, who are not even Jews at all like the Gentiles and the Arabs. This zealot ideology is very present in Islam, but it is also present in Judaism and even if in more subtle words in the modern world in Christianity. The three Abrahamic religions have inherited this from the old Torah tradition and the three religions have integrated it into their general preaching.

 

A phenomenal piece of heritage that gives you cold shivers along your spine. We can really be worried about this, about the future of our world.

Croyez en qui vous voulez, ou en quoi que vous puissiez souhaiter, mais l’histoire n’a cure de ce que vous pouvez bien penser ou désirer. L’histoire est une grosse machine qui passe avec ses milliers de roues, de voitures, de tanks, de vélos, de motos et même de robots automombiles ou autres aspirateurs de maison, ET VOUS N’ÊTES QU’UN OBSTACLE.

Et les générations suivantes héritent de tout çà. Merci mon Dieu, Merci mon Diable.

 Believe in who you want, or whatever you might wish, but history does not care what you may/might/could think or desire. History is a big machine that passes with its thousands of wheels, cars, tanks, bicycles, motorcycles and even self-driving robots or other home vacuum cleaners, AND YOU ARE ONLY AN OBSTACLE.

And the following generations inherit all that. Thank you, my God, Thank you, my Satan.

BREAK DANCING AT THE ROYAL ALBERT HALL

https://jacquescoulardeau.medium.com/break-dancing-at-the-royal-albert-hall-fca423205687

Jakub Josef Orlinski will never step back in front of a difficulty. Hence, breakdancing just in front of The Albert Hall in London is for him more than a Promenade Concert. It is a Manifesto, not the one by Karl Marx who rests in peace in some London cemetery, but his own manifesto that lets him say music is not a code, but it is a spiritual trip to the other end of our world where you can dance the waltz to a Gregorian chant. So why not breakdancing on a baroque Black and Soul voodoo diabolical rhythm?

 

Yes indeed, why not? I guess in Poland priests dance a polka just before and just after communion. So, you will not be surprised by this CD. You will be enchanted, I mean possessed and haunted forever, because then you will know baroque music is the favorite accompaniment of all mafia crimes and omerta is the rule afterward. It is sure. Orlinski is trying to tell us something, but it is locked between the lines and he did not provide us with the key to this healing chest.

Jakub Josef Orlinski ne recule jamais devant une difficulté. Ainsi, faire du breakdance devant l'Albert Hall de Londres est pour lui plus qu'un concert promenade. C'est un manifeste, pas celui de Karl Marx qui repose en paix dans quelque cimetière londonien, mais son propre manifeste qui lui permet de dire que la musique n'est pas un code, mais un voyage spirituel à l'autre bout de notre monde où l'on peut danser la valse sur un chant grégorien. Alors pourquoi ne pas faire du breakdance sur un rythme baroque diabolique de Black and Soul vaudou ?

 

Oui en effet, pourquoi pas ? Je suppose qu'en Pologne les prêtres dansent une polka juste avant et juste après la communion. Donc, vous ne serez pas surpris par ce CD. Vous serez enchantés, je veux dire possédés et hantés à jamais, car vous saurez alors que la musique baroque est l'accompagnement préféré de tous les crimes mafieux et que l'omerta est la règle après. C'est sûr. Orlinski essaie de nous dire quelque chose, mais c'est enfermé entre les lignes et il ne nous a pas fourni la clé de ce coffre de guérison.

PERVERSE FASCINATING CRUSADE

https://jacquescoulardeau.medium.com/perverse-fascinating-crusade-3cf286d3108b

 

This comic book is not a revolution in art, nor a revelation in history. If the facts are true, and not licensed by the freedom or artistic expression, then the top leadership of the Catholic Church is targeted as vicious, lying, perverse and hypocritical. The Peace of God becomes the Crusade of God and the Commerce of Spices and Silk. An enormous proportion of Crusaders do not come back and they kill at least as many as they are, one dead body for one Crusader if it is not more, and probably ten dead Arabs for hardly one dead Crusader.

We are better now. The end of the comic book exposes George W. Bush and his Secretary of State, Dick Cheney, as liars but, once again, they do not tell us how many people were killed on the middle-eastern side and how many bodies were buried of such victims of the US invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan as compared to the total number of GIs and other military personnel sent to the Middle East by the US and some other countries.

 

There definitely is another way of reading these events, provided we change points of view and shift from today’s readership to the consciousness of ordinary people in the 13^th century. The full contradiction between bigotry and educated critical mind has to be explored, and I am sure it could lead to very interesting pages.
