As read in ‘KID’ I am a creative person who comes from working a class background and has deep thoughts. Many thoughts I struggle to articulate due to my lack of schooling. I feel deep emotions, a great responsibility and a true passion to help the world and its people as much as I can. We’re all imperfect and make mistakes as individuals especially in this online era. Addictive apps that can be dangerous in isolation. I’ve been out of school since year 11 and as much as i’ve worked I’ve had a lot of free time not knowing how to spend it. This project helps me. It’s good and that’s what I want to be. I don’t like ai generally. In the arts it’s killing creativity and peoples livelihoods. It’s so easy to access with chatgpt and although it has its benefits long term the effects of using it will show. I write these thoughts in my notes and ask chatgpt to grammatically correct and better articulate what i’ve written. The reason I do this is because I want my thoughts to be understood as clearly as possible. What you’re reading i’ve written myself and it’s such a simple task. As much as i’m sure i’m making sense I’m not confident in my grammar and with the depth of a lot of the subjects I’ve covered below language mistakes could be read very wrong. I’ve recently become aware to the impacts using things like chatgpt contribute to in regards to both the environment and our society so I’ll be looking to stop using it from now on completely or at a minimum limiting my usage extremely. I’m aware it’s hypocritical to preach good whilst contributing to bad so I’ll improve. I’m also aware the more dependent we become on ai the less capable we are without it intellectually. It’s difficult because it is such a great tool and progressive in certain aspects but if my mates having conversations about what he should have for breakfast with it whilst i’m reluctant to ask for help improving a manifesto ima just feel silly. I guess that’s the point tho. We don’t need it do we. I could read more books and educate myself independently and he could watch a cooking show. As you can see I ramble but what i’m saying is i’ve used chatgpt to help better articulate my thoughts. I’ll be limiting my usage. We’re all hypocrites really. Aware of bad and wanting to bring good. Capable of bad and masking it with good. The most honest thing is to acknowledge our imperfections and seeing ourselves in each other. When we forgive, learn from, and progress as one we’ll be truly on the right path. Until then we may have to use bad tools to unscrew the cages stopping us from being good and free. Prime example would be the devices we use now like phones. Minerals mined in areas like Congo by children as young as 6 putting their lives at risk. It’s wrong and for what? So we can doom scroll and complain? So they can make unnecessary amounts of money? We should all stop using them really but at a minimum at least acknowledge the unfair sacrifices made by those for us to have such a capable tool. It’s almost poetic if such a tool was eventually used to bring children like those their freedom. If we stopped contributing to the wrongs of exploitative systems with ignorance and replaced it with compassion using what they made. It’d of course be better to not have them at all and we all magically boycotted but to be productive and gain momentum with what they’ve provided enough to fight for them we may have to pay the price and use what they’ve given us for eventual good. It’s a start and an effort which is something. Everyone has a phone, has been conditioned to need a phone but with that there is hope. There’s potential to reach everyone and for this philosophy to spread infectiously through social media. When wanting to do good your competence often effects your confidence as Jordan Stephens best describes and that’s where i’m at not to gas myself up too much. I want to do good but i’m aware i’ve done bad, will do bad and subconsciously use bad every day as more and more of our money seems to contributes to bad. I nearly went heavy into buddhism and as much as I agree with a lot of what buddhism is, to me it’s an acceptance of suffering that does free you as the individual from desire but also enables others suffering since your personal enlightenment is the priority. Traditionally believed true enlightenment is found in acknowledging life as suffering and detaching from our physical vessel as we’re all conduits of life. The issue is living that lifestyle to me takes everything special our life has to offer away. I love my family so much as an example the acknowledgement of impermanence isn’t worth more than that love for me. And in failure to reach enlightenment we’re reincarnated the lesson being our failure to detach life that is suffering means we must do it again but to me I find that potentially more beautiful if we as one made our reality less inept to suffering. Instead believe we’ve been reincarnated into each other and treat each other with the same love we wish for ourselves. That I feel is true enlightenment and ethical detachment knowing what you eventually will leave behind permanently will be you and will strive for good rather than be used for bad. It’s all simply a call for empathy and compassion at a time where it’s not only easy but encouraged to be ignorant and divided as individuals for in our division we are vulnerable and easier exploited. Hate for migrants an easy punchline made by those able to provide for us all and keep said migrants in their indigenous lands. It’s all an effort for us to fight each other so we leave ourselves weaker. Class consciousness is coming and it’s going to be glorious. Wealth inequality and tyranny are our biggest enemy. With colonialism and countless wars already taken place it makes you wonder if all the good descendants have just been slaughtered by bad people and now we’re all amongst the survival of the fittest with passed down genes filled with bloodshed. A result of that means as a society we reflect our ancestors complicity and perpetuate further harm for our own good or learn from generational wrongs and learn from their mistakes by using our history of bad to bring good. I think to reach those most in need of see yourself you must speak a language most easily understood. When I was isolated all I cared about was football. I’ve rambled again but this is what the reality of my writing becomes if it’s not structured. I think that’s enough. Enjoy my brain.
