On patterns of human behaviour
Foto from archive. "Savages of XXI century" 2021 - Rolleiflex 6x6 with Tessar 3.5
Buddha said:
"Those who shaving their heads and faces become shamans and who receive instruction in the way should surrender all worldly possessions and be contented with whatever they obtain by begging. One meal a day and one losing under the tree and neither should be repeated, for what makes one stupid and irrational are attachments and the passion".
Were you aware that the greatest advantage humans have over artificial intelligence is the ability to recognise patterns? I do favour scientists who have a presupposition that the ability to learn is innate, not an acquired attribute of human nature. You can call it genetics if it's easier for you to put the phenomenon into a science-defined category. And so, a human being, in the reason of development by means of natural selection, is peculiar to distinguish more green shades to detect the eyes of a predator lurking in the bushes. The same man is peculiar to act in accordance with the learnt pattern to interact with reality. Most likely, these two seemingly different approaches still work thanks to the same wiring in the brain (neural networks). In natural habitats this would not be a problem, as the question of whether it is important to identify a predator in the bush is fairly obvious. At that time behavioural patterns, in the environment of civilisation, i.e. big cities, where a person feels safe, can anticipate the future, follow the daily routine, and only a bus 5 minutes late releases repressed rage, turn a person into a lump of repetitive behaviour. It is fascinating how gently this fits with the general cultural view that man after a certain age enters a period when he wants less adventure, more comfort. But is this really true? Or have we humans simply learned to lie to ourselves so well that we are no longer able to distinguish between reality and the current in the fishbowl of civilisation to which we have become so accustomed. Perhaps the brain wiring has simply accumulated too cosy patterns of behaviour. And this is actively cultivated in the "centery of self". And even if a stranger on the street made a remark to us in the same intonation as our mother who has been in the coffin for a long time, we will answer him as rudely as we did when we were 12 years old and find 1000 explanations to justify the illegitimacy of his behaviour, without noticing that we are defending our own paternal soup from which we are not able to get out.
