Bemes
AdamDavis 01 Aug 2009
- Rhythm
- Harmony
- Fractals
- Self-similarity
- Feedback
- Strange loops
- Infinity
- Cycles
- Syncresis (bastardisation, even)
- Interconnectedness
- Transcendence
Really, are they all not one and the same anyway? The aforementioned moments are those which I'd like to share as bemes, bemes for which I encourage their use as source material for "remixes" and other projects by future artists. And qhat if I die before the appropriate technology is developed? If the posthumous harvesting of one's entire stream of subjectivity will be possible at all, I would be willing for my whole life to be sifted and scanned the whole way through, with all the embarrassing, regrettable and cringe worthy points intact, in search of these Golden Points for others to enjoy and appreciate.

If we see anything even remotely like "The Singularity" in coming decades then everyone's best and worst points will be open for the whole world to see, if not through direct reading of memories then through accurate reconstructions of past events from the memories of everyone you have known.
I realized this a few years ago. Now I have very few cringe-worthy moments, and nothing to hide.

If that's true, then I certainly hope people become a lot more tolerant.

I hope so, CyborgDreamer. Transhumanity as infinity, and infinity does not discriminate.

That's an interesting idea. I'm going to give it some thought.
