Hello dear Geert Lovink,

you can have these ideas in my mind.
i just tried here to cut to edit out the snip part to make it stand out a
bit better for you.

i think you can take interest in Law of One: RA the philosopher of L/L
research (the two physicians who devoted themselves on these
communication): centered on the architecture of densities in the universe.

A bit like Spinoza who conceptualized ONE as an <<infinite power, called
<<Substance>>, expressing itself with flows, called <<modes>>
RA during the 1980.s, intervened as a <<spirit>> using a women.s voice to
explain his views on ONE

>
base on waves, that have frequencies, we either accelerate in frequencies
or downgrade.

we either pass beyond this universe we know, gifted within one octave,
or passe below and reach to an other octave.. like on an infinite piano.

RA explains or builds a temporary hypothesis that humanity is on third
density at the moment he was/is speaking. 1980.

the minerals are of the first density. you would have heard of this in
newagers communities: the root chakra, vibrates with a red aura. It is
expressing our need for security. or grants it, to us and to the
surrounding other densities complexes.

the orange vibration: in short, growth, plants and animal
individuals-complexes-societies.

the third comes up when an animal or a tree has learned enough, took on his
memory enough luggage or experience, for example a cat or a dog, and will
enter by being born a human baby.

but the <<human objects>> of the yellow density are considered by RA to be
part of the human complex. (the table, the tv, the radio, the bus, the
helicopter, the chair,...)

That is why i talk about this, in relation to your concern for data.

the yellow third density is molar would say Deleuze and Guattari.
Some singular (individuals) might exist on Earth who have been reaching
higher densities. Like Jesus, they about whom so they say, he who was of
the fourth density: green chakra of plexus : Love.

Yellow is more noisy, and is a density where entities have a choice between
continuing the path upwards either by choosing <<service to self>>
either <<service to others>>

the majority chooses service to self, because in our environment, in our
moral environment, it is organized that way, and the easy path is the self.

the service to others is people who have left the morality (so called
yellow density): abandoned this  compression of our society, and want
rather to be free, (say, a bit like Jack Kerouak in Dharma Bums, or On the
Road,..)while at the same time they help other inner souls to go up, that
is to accelerate, to being more conscious of the world, to its infinite sea
of signs, its elements.

in that light you see how Big Data can play a role:
like control, reinforcement of authoritarian control,
big data drags you backwards,  in the service to self.

the <<i>> phone, the <<digital identity>> wanted by Davos, the deciders.

so the religion is not the religion of guys like Yuval Harari.
They certainly know better than to have a faith in big data.

But they manage to publish their books, as its useful for their masters,
and for their cult, and i have seen many intellectuals weak enough to take
a knee, and submit their intellect to this religion he subliminally -or
sometimes explicitly- proposes to the <<masses>>.


The self-service, RA is talking about it with a sneer, as << negative>> and
the altruist, secret Alliance of souls service, as a <<positive>> polarity
in ONE

its really about controlling masses of people a bit like the black cube in
Mecca where you see crowds turning around this stone a bit like the rings
turn around the planet Saturn (who plays this role of sun, in the awareness
of these ego driven people of the selfish religion) A secret comes occulted
by the political sheer of appearances in the media of Yuval and others.
They are mind switchers, or sort of.. programming consciousnesses, with web
pages, books, and universities .

So i tell you its not much use of fighting big data.
As long as this cult is alive and thriving on this world, we have nothing
to stop them.

They will talk. They will act.

But what we can do is to think how can technology help us in another
project in the meantime that they loose foot on ground, a project that
would aim at the opposite of their goal: not to drag people on Earth into a
lower density, towards eventually reaching to the octaves below, but
instead looking for the more difficult of the tasks, yet the most rewarding
in terms of happyness to be in this world, grounded yet tending upwards:
with or without technology, we could reach alone and collectively the above
us densities, beginning with the green density of universe love, then cyan
wisdom of it, etc (see Law Of One, the Ra Materials, for more info on this)
 but as you will learn, we as humanity of Terra, have a pretty long journey
till we get to this (what with the indigo, violet, silver, gold, platinum
,densities ?etc.)

I think technology of << non data>> should be scrutinized from a non
objective-science
perspective, for all these reasons and for others.

Data and objectivity goes hand in hand.

Fact is already different.

A fact is something that matters to a human consciousness

A data is something which <<matters>> or functions, which enables a
computer to flow.

A data is like a unit in the flow of consciousness of the computer ,
whatever its size.

Human awareness have to give up Isabelle Stengers and Karl Popper: their
defense of an authoritarian Third World « Knowledge » a Science that is
working like the community of Superior Men.

By giving up, as Van Gogh did, as you mentioned this painter, we are
reconnecting to science as Galileo did: by study and experimentation.

Not by obeying to objectivity.

That is not to say we have to destroy old paradigms, but just that we have
to build one that fits in with our present goal to reach fourth density and
beyond.

We dont have to burn old libraries and old data.

But readapt old tools & computers and build new tools superior, adequate to
the higher densities as they are superior in experience to our Present, and
so having grown our mind, and not our computer data etc, we can use our
newly formed inner minds to elevate within us our environment on Terra
(computers included) so that we enjoy the planet as it should, as deserved
(it is alive, as G.Simondon and the animists demonstrated i think) this in
an incommensurable way to the previous milleniums, a way of ever increasing
a subtle satisfaction : of the senses, and the intellect, and a new
political organisation that would decipher what mistakes were done in
mankind.s history and what we can learn from past experience to create our
future.

Un saludo desde Ibiza,

Data are seen as the next step in science.
