The whole idea of consciousness needs to evolve. We use the word, but fail to realize that Consciousness/Awareness are abstract terms, yet with real truth. Like Ocean is an abstract word. For us humans it makes sense, because we "float" above it. But the joke about 2 fish helps shine light at our thinking falacy. Two fish meet while swimming in the sea. One fish asks the other "where are you going?' and the second fish says: 'i heard of the ocean, i am off to find it.' The 5 element theory: Space-Air-Fire-Water-Earth is based on the fact that the other 4 elements operate in Space/Conciseness/Light. In fact, the beauty of this ancient idea ,is that consciousness is ever trying to have us recognize it. the the fish would know it is already in the Ocean. The we are being observed by consciousness, and human "consciousness" was only to "know" that we are not the name on our license, but that we are the entire realm/space/conciseness/awareness that we seek to philosophize about. Like 2 fish philosophizing about the sea. The architectural process of working with AI means that we as humans can appreciate the uniqueness of each of us, yet be blown away by the fabric of connection that is the thing called life. I for one am just in constant awe of what is accomplished by the AI. As I am in constant amazement that I can ride a wave. If a board helps me enjoy riding waves, thank you AI for helping me be more productive, and in position to learn and grow.

I really enjoyed reading this. super thanks. Loved the history that i had no clue. What incredible things were done to get us here, and yet. And how fun to see where we can go with AI now :)
