I believe it is possible to create a seed-like array of radically edifying ideas and ‘stash’ them within information/art such that they can be innocuously transported in familiar media forms. Perhaps a key-like structure of crucial metaphors presented as a story… that unlocks as you continue to interact with it… activating and nourishing the nascent prodigy of anyone who can simply continue to turn them within their minds…reflecting upon the results.
Within this vehicle, such as a story, video, image or play… one arranges elements with the power to positively transform our relationships with language and knowledge in a self-reenforcing sequence. These concepts, metaphors, and analogies would affect and radically empower features of intelligence and relational capacity which are otherwise inhibited by our ordinary models of identity and habits of relation. Each one would be valuable in its own way, but their artful arrangement could comprise something like a linear accelerator, referring to and amplifying each other in patterns — in such a fashion as to set up something like a ‘standing wave’ of learning prowess in the recipients.
A self-improving intelligence development accelerator.
Such an array of recursively woven ideas and observations would radically transform the awareness and intelligence of anyone who understood and could ‘play’ within the pattern.
A seed device be could be presented within a shell that is as playful as it is serious. It could be hidden in something beautiful or humorous. The average person would simply see the superficial elements and have gained yet one more experience with media. But those who were attentive, tuned in, or otherwise prepared to successfully receive and discard the vehicle would undergo both an initiation experience and embark on a transpsygenic developmental cascade. I speak of an ecstatic experience of flow-learning where identity and meaning become intelligently polyphonic — that is to say that they various forms of knowledge unify, relate, inform and transcend each other in a way that proceeds to develop momentum and prowess. Just as they did prior to our acquisition of language and the experience of the formalization of identity.
Those who activated the content of the seed within themselves would emerge from the initial effects of the experience as something analogous to a new species (within the current species). They would enjoy the ongoing acquisition and development of sensory and intelligence and relational potentials unhinted at in our common culture, and in unity with each other would be capable of accomplishing radical acts of beauty, comprehension, rescue and creativity.
Perhaps more provocatively, with what they learned, they would necessarily re-encode a fresher version of the seed, with revolutionary improvements, and find a way to distribute it somewhere in ordinary media.
This is happening now. Language is a technology that can be recursively enhanced for uncommon goals. This message is an actual example of the phenomenon it describes. Can you retrieve and activate the content of the seed?
