Thank you, a great post. This also reminds me of John Vervaeke's 4 kinds of knowing (4P/3R Metatheory of Cognition), where the higher "participatory" and "perspectival" kinds require "being" (acting in the "agent–arena" environment) and embodied perception. I think the current level of LLM is probably still at the lower levels, "propositional" and "procedural" knowing, at best. Making the leap to the higher levels might turn out to be more challenging – or in some ways – impossible.

What about Dynamic Quality when reading? That sense of discovery and interplay of one’s own thoughts with the writing. Even if reading ai content, that feeling can be obtained. The appreciation of quality can be dynamic in itself.

Also it’s all relative right? There can be ai content that is Socratically instructive in a beautiful way , compared to my little understanding of a topic.

Curious if your definition of Dynamic Quality includes the ingestion of writing itself too.

So important.

It feels like we’ve gone through decades of slow but steady degradation of quality.

I agree that AI could dramatically accelerate this trend.

And yet I’m optimistic that real life experiences will become more and more valued vs the virtual and digital experiences.

Why? Simply because existence in real life is who we really are as embodied, multifaceted beings.

Young children to teach us about this every hour of every day.

I hear you dynamically and appreciate the effort and outcome of your thoughts. Few.
