I posted to #LinkedIn, the hashtags of #FirstPrinciples and #CoreValues, and the video of Chris Murphy speaking about a U.S. permanent resident being “disappeared”, with text saying:

“The U.S. #Constitution protects the right to free speech.

“It is enshrined in the #FirstAmendment of the Bill of Rights.

“It even protects speech you don’t like.

“Especially speech you don’t like.”

Based on the post analytics after 9 hours, it appears shadow-banned.

If the Creepy Weirdos are going to invoke original #American patriotism, let’s shove Thomas Paine’s narrative down their throats and let them choke on it: inaniludibrio.com/2025/02/10/i

The entire ethos of our nation is oriented around #FirstPrinciples of #republicanism which are skeptical of God-Kings, so their construct of corporate monarchy can die a quick death: inaniludibrio.com/2024/08/13/s

#Paramatma, the universal soul or supreme consciousness in #Hindu #philosophy, parallels #Neoplatonism’s concept of “The One”.

In Neoplatonism, emanation from “The One” mirrors the dynamic interplay of prakāśa (#illumination) and vimarśa (#reflection) in Paramādvaita philosophy, emphasizing a cyclical process of outflow and return.

The #Nous is compared to Paramatma but aligns more closely with Hiranyagarbha in Hindu thought due to its subordinate role to the ultimate #FirstPrinciples.

“All the major philosophical schools in antiquity regarded #eudaimonia as the highest good, often even the very aim and purpose of philosophy, although the various schools, such as the Cynics, the Stoics, and the Epicureans, may have conceived of it in somewhat different terms.”

“Among the 2025 top incantations, one phrase stood out: ‘enduring eternities of modern #computing.’ (Deloitte) For those who still doubt that technological discourse is metaphysical ('the study of being and #FirstPrinciples' [Aristotle, Metaphysics]), I invite you to reconsider your myopia.”

www.linkedin.comGilbert Paquet, M.A. on LinkedIn: #interaction #information #computation | 10 commentsJanuary is a significant moment in the techno-liturgical calendar as industry high priests like Gartner, McKinsey, Deloitte, and Accenture publish their annual tech vision and trends reports, thereby ordaining the dominant narratives that will shape the industry's trajectory for the year ahead. The smaller players follow suit, competing each other in clichés and empty ideas. When you don't have any ideas of your own, the best you can do is repeat with less talent those of your sponsors. Among the 2025 top incantations, one phrase stood out: "enduring eternities of modern computing." (Deloitte) For those who still doubt that technological discourse is metaphysical ('the study of being and first principles' [Aristotle, Metaphysics]), I invite you to reconsider your myopia. The phrase "enduring eternities of modern computing" carries a profound metaphysical connotation. Typically, "eternities" is a term associated with concepts of timelessness, and infinity. Applying this term to the three core aspects of computing - #interaction, #information, and #computation - gives the statement transcendent quality that goes beyond a purely technical description. It suggests that these three elements are not just fundamental to computing, but are eternal and unchanging principles that underlie its very nature. Moreover, it imbues the history and evolution of IT with a sense of grand significance and timelessness, elevating these concepts to a level of metaphysical importance. In this context, the phrase "enduring eternities of modern computing" can be seen as a nod to the idea that computing is not just a human invention, but a discovery of fundamental principles that govern the universe. Moreover, it suggests that the underlying laws that govern computing may also be reflected in the workings of the human mind, which implies an intrinsic connection between the digital realm and human intelligence. The use of the term "eternities" also implies a sense of reverence, suggesting that the core concepts of computing are not just human creations, but are sacred, implying that the pursuit of technological advancement is not just a practical endeavor, but a quest for transcendence and understanding of the fundamental nature of (our)reality. From an 'existential' perspective, if the core concepts of computing are eternal, what does this say about the nature of human existence? Does this imply that technology is an integral part of our existence, a way of accessing and understanding fundamental truths about the universe and our place in it? The power of an ideology, and IT is an ideology, is measured by the impact of the ideas it sets in motion. In this case: 'the underlying principles of computing are not just human constructs, but rather reflections of universal truths'. In the wake of the collapse of traditional political and religious narratives, technological ideology steps in to fill the void. As everyone knows, 'horror vacui', nature abhors a vacuum.
