sometimes, I eat a few mushrooms

broken down into their simplest form, our actions and choices are simple examples in problem-solving. This is why AI is so much fun to research (it's as philosophical and abstract as it is technical).

We solve problems with our toolsets, thoughts and pathways of intellectual discovery, scraps of our experience pieced together to innovate and create.

thus, if we need to act differently, we need to think differently.

if our thoughts are like pathways of (often past) experience, we need to be *creating* new pathways of thought to act differently.

shamanic journeys and their medicines accomplish just that.. they ask us to try a different experience, to change our experience. they offer alternate pathways of thought, and beg for new connections and types of signals to emerge.

see, we *can* change the world.
our actions needn't be changed,
simply our thoughts
