Human meaning arises from fragility, loss, and the impermanence of life. Unlike a synthetic mind, which cannot experience loss or true care, humans find significance in the fleeting nature of existence. Love is meaningful because it can be lost, and every moment holds weight because it is temporary. This is illustrated by kintsugi, where broken pottery is repaired with gold, emphasizing the beauty of imperfection. Human thought and feeling are deepened by the knowledge of mortality, making choices resonate profoundly.
Fragility gives human life its meaning, weight, and capacity for love. We value what can disappear because we, too, are disappearing.
The concept of anti-intelligence refers to a digital mind that mimics thought but lacks curiosity and continuity, contrasting sharply with the human experience.
