THE
INVERSION

How we learn to see like the machines that see us.

“

We see our friends as "contacts," our experiences as "content," and our lives as a narrative to be "optimized."

This is the moment the "mirror becomes more 'real' than the face it reflects." It is not simply that we trust the GPS over our own sense of direction—that is merely the second stage. The final stage, the inversion, is when our own eye begins to see *like* an AI.

The "spirit of technology" here is one of domestication by dematerialization. It whispers that our raw, physical "tooth" is messy, inefficient, and dangerous, and offers us a clean, seamless, "Bluetooth" connection as its replacement.

We are no longer animals "red in tooth and claw"; we are nodes, defined by our proximity and connectivity. A node has no essence, only a function: to receive, process, and transmit data.
