Languaging, Viability, Artificial Intelligence, and the Possible Futures of LifeBy Dr. Bichara SahelyLength3h 31m
About this audiobook
Life-Coherent Attention and the Worlds We Bring Forth is a reflective audiobook on attention, language, healing, artificial intelligence, and the kinds of worlds our distinctions conserve.
Drawing from Humberto Maturana’s biology of cognition and love, Ken Wilber’s five paths of transformation, coherence physiology, embodied self-regulation, mathematical resonance, and the Transformer revolution in artificial intelligence, Dr. Bichara Sahely asks one guiding question:
What manner of living is being conserved here, and does it conserve or negate the conditions of life?
This audiobook proposes that attention is not merely focus or computation. Attention brings forth worlds. When disciplined by love, viability, embodiment, evidence, shadow-awareness, and responsible action, attention can become life-coherent: a way of seeing, caring, healing, and acting that restores possible living for persons, communities, institutions, and the Earth.
