post-mortem posts

End

The rest is silence.

Lights go out. Lights come on.

Dancing on the graves of art and philosophy. On the graves of religion and science. A dance to give birth to a new lifeline.

The death of my aunt enabled me to develop this dance of death. My renewal of the danse macabre. The repeated renewal of engaging with the dance of death.

Life is a continuous renewal of repetitions and repeated renewals. From within the repeated renewal of repetitions, the work of art emerges. The work of art embodies both life and death.

Repetition is death of progress, so we are asked to believe. Repetition is renewal without renewed mental energies. Repetition simply repeats.

Death triggers life. Death asks to be overcome by the living. The living produce death.

Death is exhausting despite its void. Death exhausts nothingness. Death is not a void or nothingness.

There will never be conclusive knowledge about death. There will be post-mortem examinations in a literal sense. There is post-mortem philosophy and religious belief.

The end is not a death. The end is just a full stop. The end is a premonition of another end.

Because some people die, we start being interested in something. Some people’s interests call to be continued by the survivors. Most interests don’t call for an extension.

Machines are deemed superior by some people. Humans are deemed superior by others. Both will stop operating at some point.

Humanity has persevered with continuous efforts of accumulating knowledge. We believe in machine learning, because humanity has worked as a networked team across centuries and continents. We believe in the powers of networked machine intelligence.

Comprehension stops at the gates of death. It gains no access. It continues to bang at its doors.

Our knowledge is stored for future generations. We instil knowledge in our children. We produce and preserve knowledge as data, books, music, art, you name it.

We learn about life as we grow older. We learn a lot when we are young. We learn continuously as we go along.
