_the Sense: A High-Dynamic Light That Blends Desire Into Action
As powerful as the passion that drives us toward fulfillment, it presents the challenge of problem definition.
We are here to bring meaning to life, which is, in itself, senseless. Why did Homo sapiens create fire? Did they truly create it, or did they develop tools to accelerate the ignition process?
Why? What were they trying to solve?
The coldness of the planet they inhabited. Did they seek to harness the magical power of fire? Perhaps one of many possible answers is curiosity, a nonconformist spirit, or simply the feeling that they could.
In any case, it doesn't matter—they created it. Or did they?
We are here to solve experiences, to understand, to learn. To evolve. But what truly drives us to define what needs to be solved?
When I think of the wheel and imagine the creative process behind it, I immerse myself in that ancient world. Under those specific conditions, guided by that complex and simple flow, I am led to concepts of improvement, optimization, and control.
The desire to travel greater distances in less time, with less effort.
These early inventions—the club, the arrow, the wheel—have shaped a fundamental part of the human experience. The power to solve. The power to create.
Tribes, Feuds, Kingdoms, Dictatorships, Democracies.
Agriculture, animal husbandry, arts and crafts, industrialization, neo-abstraction, digitalization, hyper-connectivity, decentralization, big data, artificial intelligence.
It seems that the speed of change is the key variable driving the ramp up curve of our supposed evolution.
Truth versus Order? Functionally, it’s always about order. So, how do we navigate through chaos—one of the only true constants that surrounds and outlives us?
We could understand chaos as a high-dynamic order, moving as fast as light—a system impossible for a single human to manage. Hyper-connections that shift as soon as they are established, weaving an endless network of possibilities, data, and logic.
Is it senseless? If we adopt that perspective, there’s a good chance we might lose our fear. Fearlessness seems to be a state of human completeness, but it’s also a dangerous one. It places us at the edge of infinity—the black hole, the empty jar.
Now, let’s think about Artificial Intelligence. Like the Neanderthal with the club, but accelerated a million-fold.
The sense—a high-dynamic light that blends desire into action.
Are we willing to articulate what we are truly solving today? Perhaps we are stepping into a role where we can act as DJs of chaos, playing from each channel, pitching, freezing, mixing... fast-forwarding, and then rewinding.
In the end, it doesn’t matter. We created it. Or did we?
