What happens when every action is reduced and filtered down to either an (a) or (b)?
let a = "internalizing";
let b = "externalizing";
For example: Reading is taking in. Writing is pushing out. Speech is pushing, externalizing. Inhale = internalizing. Exhale = externalizing.
let internalizing = ["Reading", "Listening", "Inhaling"];
let externalizing = ["Throwing", "Speaking", "Exhaling"];
function quantify(action) {
if (internalizing.includes(action)) {
return `${action} is an internalizing action.`;
}
else if (externalizing.includes(action)) {
return `${action} is an externalizing action.`;
}
else {
return `${action} is not classified.`;
}
}
console.log(quantify("Reading"));
//Reading is an internalizing action.
This program and line of thought reminds me of an idea I once read somewhere regarding equality of persons.
Software programming is said to be humanity’s most advanced activity, but reduced to a simplicity, that software programmer is just pressing keys on a keyboard. In a certain light and a certain lens is equitable to the child hitting and pressing a button on the light and sound machine.
I like the idea of Wilhelm Reich’s “Orgone” and I think there is something to those energy studies. There have been some projects about orgone such as the orgone accumulator. They are “generators” that have a supposed effect on the orgone energy field. Making these, you combine metal, resin (or an electric insulator like wood), and crystals to have an effect. The construction process stacks these different materials one after another. In the sense of this project, internalizing or externalizing, such action reminds me of accomplishing, through a particular lens / worldview) the advanced activities that only robots can do such as construction of nano circuitry on PCB boards.
We are all equal, and if we look through a certain lens at the world, we can see this being true. The wisest scientist stacking an orgone generator to the holiest of Rabbi’s turning pages of a holy book to a child sticking glue to wood.
In the bible are the words, something like: “each according to your abilities”. This reminds us of the power of intent and the humbleness of us all being equals through the eyes of G-d.
