I had a profound experienceof oneness. Although I am not sure that this description is “accurate” in anyobjective sense, it conveys my experience.
for - Lisa's profound meditative experience - gestalt switch - perspective switch - no words to describe the experience - novel experience, no words exist to describe
comment - Lisa talks about finding it difficult to describe this experience - When we have entirely new experiences that are radically different from anything we've had before, - we have no reference system to describe it, the words don't exist, while the novel experience does. - This becomes an invitation to extend language, knowing however, that language itself is always dualistic and symbolic

for - five roles of cloud capital - source - article - Le Monde - Musk, Trump and the Broligarch's novel hyper-weapon - Yanis Varoufakis - 2025, Jan 4 - monopolizes the attention economy - manufactures desire - sells directly to us that which it has made us desire - controls labor - creates a system of free voluntary behavior to sustain the behavioral modification system, turning us into cloud serfs
Instead, it comprises machines manufactured so as to modify human behaviour. These produced means of behavioural modification train us to train them to determine what we want.
