Changing the Human Experience


What is the Human experience? Humans are nothing but biological machines who interpret their surroundings in a manner constrained by the limits of their perception. Our limits being so clearly circumscribed by our biological design, it appears that the human experience does not lie outside of our physical selves. It solely exists in our brain. While we may pride ourselves with our accidentally imbibed biological intelligence, there are concepts which we would never understand because our bodies simply cannot comprehend them.

The carrier of our so called “conscience” is an imperfect device. The biggest tragedy of the human experience is that our “conscience” is so entwined with its carrier that it cannot outlast it. Even though humans have obtained the power of thought, we lead remarkably monotonous lives. The Human experience has been dwindled down to a pseudo-animalistic existence.

But what if these shackles were broken? What if we could leave our physical existence behind and delve in a world solely created to cater to our higher needs? What if instead of creating “Artificial Intelligence”, we transmute biological intelligence into artificial mediums? Better still, what if we live in a formless existence, in a world of our own creation, wherein we could pursue all that was thought to be impossible. What if we could become “Sentient Code”, a Code which can create its own realities and live through them? We could create scenarios of inter-stellar space travel, we could drown ourselves in the wealth of information possessed by mankind, and we could exist as long as we want to exist. Wouldn’t these realities enhance the Human experience and bring it a greater semblance of dignity? There are millions of individuals who die due to lack of access to basic necessities, individuals who suffer needlessly and re-assure themselves that their next life would be more fulfilling, or they would be treated fairly in heaven. They have been bereft of the “true human experience”.  Wouldn’t it be more sensible to transform their mundane lives and place them in a world wherein they could have anything they desired?

The only true objective reality which a human being can experience is that of “thought”. “I think therefore I am” summarizes the fact that the reality that we live in cannot be taken as “objective reality”. With this in mind, I do not find any logical argument to deny our race from perpetually changing the reality that we live in. It would be further illogical to deny this right to individuals for whom our current reality is a living hell.

As soon as it can be made possible, Human existence as we know it must be forever altered. We must hit “Upload” before our civilization implodes due to the limitation of our biological carrier.

अँधेरा

हम तोह दुनियादारी के चंगुलों में फस्स कर, ज़िन्दगी को ही भुला बैठे, जो चाहा था की कलम से हो ज़िन्दगी , उसी कलम को सजा ए मौत सुना बैठे... हम ऐसे अंधेरो में बस चुके है, जहां दिये जलते नहीं, फिर  भी यह ज़ालिम दिल ने, दिवाली का इंतज़ार करना सिख दिया... अरे कलम से निकलती शब्दों की दरिया सूख चुकी है, पर यह कमबख्त आँखों ने आंसुओ से लफ्ज़ बयां करना सिख दिया.

The Box Theory

Introduction ‘Think outside the box’ is a quote covering the crux of many entrepreneurial talks, however such a quote leaves us hanging in the abyss of ambiguity rather than moving towards any sort of productivity. Thinking outside the box presumes the existence of a box, and the fact that we are able to think ‘outside’ the box assumes the existence of a single box. Thereby, we tend to believe that most humans think within a single box, that their thoughts and actions are recurring in nature. To think outside the box would amount to intellectual salvation, because we’re able to shed our conventional outlook. However, it cannot be assumed that people who ‘think outside the box’ don’t really think the same thing. Therefore, people who try and think outside ‘the box’ end up in creating little boxes of their own where their like ideas are able to find peace that arises from mutual understanding. With the sheer diversity of thoughts prevalent in our world, the possibility of there bei...

Chura liya....

As the world frets on issues of supposedly greater importance such as the Indian elections, the strain in diplomatic relations with the US and the emergence of a constipated Amir Khan, I find myself reminded of a certain incident which remains freshly engraved within my heart. An incident which made me lose faith in all of humanity...teaching me that self interest is primeval amongst Humans... Even a dementor cannot give me the chills as can the mere memory of that incident...and it left upon me a mental scar...changing me...altering life as it should have been and now I shall recount my dreadful experience for all to hear... An exasperated cry could be heard reverberating from the playground of Sector 31 as dragoon had once again defeated all its opponents. A smirk came about my face as I saw that my beyblade was the last man standing..."We understand each other...dragoon and me" I said...while others looked on feeling thoroughly abysmal..."He does whatever I tell...
