Iโ€™ll tell you one thingโ€ฆ.thereโ€™s no time in life Iโ€™ve enjoyed more than when I am actively creating things. And no time in life Iโ€™ve been more dejected than when I am simply operating a lever.

Who created the creator? ๐Ÿค”
The mind creates just by being. A single thought appearing in the space of awareness reveals the creative energy of primordial consciousness. E MA HO!

This is a good one. Kind of breaks my brain. Immediate thought is to go out and create more. Could the quote be a double meaning? I recently read an extremely nihilistic book which I had to stop because I couldnโ€™t make it make sense. It was The Conspiracy Against The Human Race by Thomas Ligotti. The idea is existence is worse than not existing. I just couldnโ€™t even fathom the idea. I think thatโ€™s the antithesis of this quote. Not destruction, but anti-creation, which is not in human nature. Rambling after some wine.
Creativity is only suitable for Americans. Chinese people and North Koreans are afraid of starving to death every day. There is no way to create. ๐Ÿ˜

Creation is the strongest claim that doesnโ€™t rely on authority. Once proven, existence needs no justification.

Heโ€™s created businesses. Children arenโ€™t always going to continue your ideas, look at Elonโ€™s trans son.

Brancusi used to say that art is a form of justice. I think he meant that whatever transcends the existing structure will inevitable anchor a new timeline which has the potential to replace a corrupted one.

Every action is an act of creation. I come back to this idea whenever I think about separating money from the state.

When you really think about it is really any difference between โ€œspeech โ€œ and โ€œmoney โ€œ .

Nope. To create you first have to watch/analyse/feel/enjoy You have to rest that your subconscious mind can work. Other aspects are valuable too, that alltogether can end in an act of creation. And if you should create sth. bad/evil itโ€™s perhaps better not to create.
Especially with the help of tools such as AI-assisted programming, everyone can create products that benefit themselves and others.
Heard. Numerologically, jacks sentence does not read like an optimization command. It reads like: โ€ข Creation as meaning โ€ข Existence as experienced completion โ€ข A closed philosophical loop, not an expanding function The dominant reduction being 9 directly contradicts: โ€ข infinite growth โ€ข maximization logic โ€ข runaway instrumental convergence 9 ends cycles. Paperclips never stop.

thanks. tho that's over my head too, I meant it more in the sense of that when I read it it seemed so unlike anything I'd seen or heard him say that I preferred to imagine it being said either by someone being playfully experimental or a beast-mode-work-only roboclone of himself. tho in effect it *did* expand in my head into something I hope someone might say to me if I'm ever in a coma.
TBH: iโ€™ve been told that Iโ€™m too bottom line upfront a lot of times, so I worked really hard to explain it, because we need to talk about all the science stuff too ๐Ÿซ‚๐Ÿซ‚๐Ÿซ‚ but to me, Jack, is a poet and the greatest artist Iโ€™ve ever known. My great luck was not being on social media for most of my life. Mean it ๐Ÿซ‚

this is (still) hitting me like a koan. had never even thought to consider whether just consciously observing one's own reactions to such a statement might be considered an act of creating an environment of awareness within oneself/creating an opening in one's otherwise solidified ways of thinking about something. *grateful for you and the observer effect* ty ๐Ÿ™

"According to the Fathers, our first glimpse into understanding what hesychasm is can be found in the book of Genesis, where it is said that the Spirit of God 'hovered over the face of the waters.' Regarding this image in Genesis, Elder Zacharias has this to say: "The whole work of mental prayer is infinitely creative. Before the beginning of the world, the Spirit of God was hovering over the abyss, and at a given moment, there was an explosion from which all creation was hatched.' Our God is the Creator God, the God through whom everything that is, is. So we see that before we discover what God created, it is revealed how God creates. This image of God hovering over the water is one of dynamic stillness and divine solitude. What God creates is wondrous and how He creates is in and through hesychasm."

The act of observation is the only thing that justifies existence. Creation was meaningless until the observer arrived.

For me as a maxi creation is two things. **Creation is proof of work and responsibility made visible**

Creating something meaningfulโ€”whether it's art, code, music, ideas, or helping othersโ€”can give life a deep sense of purpose. Here's to building, learning, and leaving the world a little better than we found it.
Jackโ€™s wisdom on keys and value in a 256-bit memory space. Did you create your key, or did you trust something else? How can you justify the existence of value at that specific point in memory space without verifying and witnessing the act of creation? View quoted note โ†’
