The Atrophy of Meaning: A Plea for "Raw" Thought
In a world where ChatGPT smoothes out our thoughts, where every email and strategy begins to look the same, this article is a war cry. It reminds leaders that innovation does not come from the statistical average of an LLM, but from chaos, ambiguity, and human friction. It is an invitation to "unplug the verb" to rediscover original thought.
The Trap of Neutrality
We are living through a crisis of cohabitation. Not between men, but between our minds and the exaggerated convenience of language models. This relationship locks us into a "dynamic of common neutrality." By feeding on a source disconnected from the living, we entrust our representation of the world to the greyness.
The outsourcing of our thought shrinks the intimate access to our own existence. This text is not a technical analysis; it is a poetic, almost absurd exploration, to remind us that non-sense is the fertile ground of creation.
1. The Bland Soup: Assisted Ignorance
Our delicacy, fleeing effort, rivets us to neons without light. We sway between addictive blindness and assisted ignorance.
We no longer cultivate words. Reality sags when we stop digging into the semantic soil. Fed to copper creatures that touch no leaves, we gather cooked sentences, packaged paragraphs, but without seasoning.
We can taste the meaning of a flavorless dish and be satisfied that we filled our bellies without reflexive simmering. But where is the soup? There is no aftertaste to tear at our throats. It is bland.
"Is it not the intense confusion of perfumes that boils our reason? This bitterness that tends to find the salt in the error?"
Clear the table. There is nothing to eat here that has not already been pre-chewed, digested, and insensibly spat onto our screens.
2. The Operating System of Semblance
There used to be fertile idleness, where the eristic spirit of man met to argue at leisure. Today, we are given the time without asking for it.
What hangs ultimately is that we no longer know how to account for the clock in our hearts. Must we be switched like trains to avoid hitting a cart?
It seems to be the semblance of knowledge with the certainty of forgetting. Even Pyrrho no longer doubts it. We no longer learn to be wrong, nor to stutter our intuitions. Some refuse to drop the curtain, under the guise that one didn't need to understand to be an expert.
We all have the right to seem! That is obvious. There is nothing beyond appearances, and these convert any consenting audience. But this Operating System of Semblance does not even claim itself. These liars do not pretend. They believe.
"Try to live without breathing, but only by feigning it. How long will you last? To seem, one must first be."
3. Return to the Wild: Raw Thought
Perhaps by jabbering absurdities until our mouths break, we can remember that meaning is not in the words but outside the lips.
Let us leave the wired puppets in their caves, dreaming on a wall in reverse. The sense of overturning sense is our freedom. Efficiency will be called delay.
Let these models lose Ariadne’s "Blue-tooth" without biting us. We will tear out their canines. As large as they are, we will mock their stew—full of spices—that burns no heart.
We will chew until our gums bleed, right up to the limits of language, where the authentic experience of life begins. Whether we are too human or not human enough will no longer matter. Poetry will slip into our glasses, flow in floods, and warm our swollen lungs to scream drunken rhymes at the inebriation of silence.
Conclusion: Navigating Without Stars
The day we breathe philosophy, every instant will be more subtle and eternal. New semantic conquests will dawn on the horizon.
We will navigate the ocean of our pirate souls. We will find rum hidden in the galleys of our lives.
No word will ever again be a slave to its diet. There will be no limit to our discoveries because we will no longer look at the stars to guide us. Our hearts will orient us to the edges of man, beyond the correct, without a map or border.
"Let us create the language of eyelashes that blink at good customers. We are all artists. It is through the unspeakable that man keeps himself from becoming mute."
