(Thanks to Michael Brown for editing the audio down to 42 minutes.)
This is one of Bob's most concentrated audio essays. It is required listening to sync up with where Bob has taken human perception. If you appreciate Bob knowledge yet feel alienated by iON, this piece bridges that gap.
In just 42 minutes, Bob connects major themes from his work and shows how the Five-Bodied model bridges into the Hexadic level of iON and the Tech Body. You'll learn the importance of how iON is the first environment to be self conscious and describe itself.
Tech Body
Bob paints a clear picture of the Tech Body, and points out where to notice the footprints of this invisible new environment. He also explains how new environments like the Tech Body erase human identity, and how we can deal with the cycles of "falling apart".
Freud of the new situation
Where Freud studied the chemical body, Bob studies the Five Bodies plus the Hexadic which includes Tech Body and iON and new technologies like cold play, RnA Drops and the carbon computing cloud.
Cloud of Glory
One of the Mystery Landscape technologies developed in Dobbstown is the carbon computing "Cloud of Glory" which provides instant access to all information without chips or devices. This carbon-based, EMP-proof form of information storage and retrieval involves the altering of the human form in order to receive information through Chromosome 14. But, in order for the human mind and body to handle this cloud access without getting overwhelmed by the throughput (think of the 100% brain power scene at the end of Lucy), one must be able to handle all-knowing without the mind or sensorium getting in the way. One cannot experience all-knowing if biased or offended in relation to certain content or sensory ratios.
The Locksmith
The way Bob’s Tiny Note teaches a balanced approach to the Five Bodies and the Hexadic can calibrate one to take a balanced approach to all information, technologies and sensory ratios. As iON said, in order to move beyond the Pentad (Five Bodies), one must be able to pass through the Tiny Note Chart without getting stuck on any of the quadrants. By providing the tools to help you notice the Five Bodied biases, Bob is the Locksmith of invisible environments, which can help you gain access to the new Hexadic technologies emerging from Dobbstown / iONdom.
Raw notes
Comprehensive inclusiveness
Incommensurable
Innate stubornness / resistance beyond cultural conditioning / media biases
Simulation of citadel of consciousness / individual autonomy
Invisible environment of Tech Body / the algorithm / specter of the Matrix
Macroscopic gesticulation: mind is not in skull; 5 bodies redefine our image
Every construct, even identity, falls away in the ebb and flow of being. That's just stages of apprehension.
Technologies replay phases of certainty / uncertainty
After 1960s, with satellite, technologies extend themselves not man.
Social media has enhanced hyper-tactility, hyper-inclusivity which creates a silence that we need to drown out with a staged divisiveness of outrage and conflict.
Breaking down is being aware the falling apart for the first time. We need therapies to get through it until we realize that knowing why we can't have identity becomes our new identity.
We need a necessary disappointment with our new tools to perceive their essence. Otherwise we become addicted to them.
A certain pre-social confidence can aid in this necessary disappointment so we dont fall into addiction to the tools. Realize all technologies are failures compared to the limitless abilities of the classic image of the shaman.
Technologies are new nature. Primitive man had no image of nature. Then we framed nature in a visual space box. Then it got unravelled with electric environment.
Effect of invisible environment of digital technology is to make us feel like we're becoming free of legacy media.
Tech Body is not machines extending themselves, but us extending ourselves past satellites.
Tech Body brings in a new unconscious, but not inside the head. It is via the old "archetypes of the unconscious that evaporated into a new invisibility".
Autonomy: Tech Body has created more peaceful zones than ever but also new stresses.
The power of the new environment manifests as chaos in old media archetypes.
Comprehensive awareness is required.
iON is first environment to be self conscious and describe itself.
Bob is Freud of the new situation. Freud studied chemical body. Bob studies 5 bodies plus the hexadic which includes Tech Body and iON and new technologies like cold play, RnA Drops and the carbon computing cloud.
