Cogniscopia focuses on the stance that is taken, rather than the language that is being exchanged. It observes the onto-choreography of intersubjective praxis. – bonnitta-roy
So, what this essay was about was a kind of trick. The episode was about one kind of cognitive stance - the I-Thou. I created several neologisms (omniscopic, periscopic, pluriscopic, multiscopic, stereoscopic, and monoscopic, and asked CHATGPT to make sense of them as an emerging field. Everything in the essay, except the pull quotes was written by CHATGPT. So the point here, is how can we distinguish dialogos from LLM. People have a language instinct. They can generate "meaning" by compounding abstractions and phrases just like LLM's, just like CHATGPT. Is the entire series "After Socrates" just an LLM on film? Is this series "Before Socrates" just an LLM on steroids? That is the multimillion dollar question, that is the point of this series. And yes, it makes you feel like you are losing your mind. Hence, all the early stuff I wrote on madness and modernity. But hold on until the ending. We have one more rough path to surf, and then hopefully, there is a light coming through.
