AI. Quantitative. Quantitative. Tautologies.

Artificial Intelligence engineers should enlist ideas and expertise from a broad range of social science disciplines, including those embracing qualitative methods, in order to reduce the potential harm of their creations and to better serve society as a whole, a pair of researchers has concluded.

Life is not about measuring. Life is not about counting.

Life is not about thinking. Life is not even about sensing.

Life is not about the quantitative.

Life is not about the qualitative either.

Life is about… living!

It sounds as a tautology and it is. But only tautologies can convey the most essential meaning of existence! Without dependencies. Without pre-requisites. Without conditions. Pure existence can only be defined by itself. Any other attempt to describe it is by default erroneous since it has lost contact with the thing which describes! (again, a tautology!)

Good men. Evil men. Clever men.

Only because someone sees evil men…

Only because someone sees good people…

Only because someone sees stupid people…

Full cosmos.

Only because it is void!

Specks of importance in an indifferent cosmos.

Feeling important for seeing the stars at night.

But everyone can do that…

Life is about… living!

Through the veil of the cosmos.

Beyond the shroud of Being.

In the midst of the day…

Close your eyes.

Can you feel the night burning inside?

Spiros Kakos is a thinker located in Greece. He has been Chief Editor of Harmonia Philosophica since its inception. In the past he has worked as a senior technical advisor for many years. In his free time he develops software solutions and contributes to the open source community. He has also worked as a phD researcher in the Advanced Materials sector related to the PCB industry. He likes reading and writting, not only philosophy but also in general. He believes that science and religion are two sides of the same coin and is profoundly interested in Religion and Science philosophy. His philosophical work is mainly concentrated on an effort to free thinking of "logic" and reconcile all philosophical opinions under the umbrella of the "One" that Parmenides - one of the first thinkers - visualized. The "Harmonia Philosophica" articles program is the tool that will accomplish that. Life's purpose is to be defeated by greater things. And the most important things in life are illogical. We must fight the dogmatic belief in "logic" if we are to stay humans... Credo quia absurdum!
