Back to the Stone Age or AI utopia?

Human civilization is fragile. Many historical events have proven this. We are swinging back and forth on the pendulum of destruction. The only way to advance is to raise our frequency.

What does frequency mean? Everyone has an association with it. Some hear a woo-woo term or a nice sentiment. But it evokes something in you either way, and that reaction is the thing itself. It reveals itself in all of our behaviour. So here we are measuring it and visualizing it.

You are not a thinking creature

Neuroscientist Jaak Panksepp ¹ spent 50 years proving something most people still refuse to believe. Feelings come first, and they dictate all of our behaviour. He found seven primary affective systems that we share with every other mammal: seeking, rage, fear, lust, care, grief, play. They are older than language. Friedemann Schulz von Thun ² showed that every message we send leaks all of it, whether we mean it to or not. Psychiatrist David Hawkins ³ put those states on a single scale, from shame at the bottom to peace at the top. We like to believe we are cognitive. That we weigh things up and make the rational move. But we are just monkeys with the ability to mentalize and speak to each other.

The edge of what we can know

The Universe Oracle reads a post and every comment underneath it. It analyzes the smallest unit of the messages through the frameworks named above. The data and its visualization are systematic and deterministic.

We try to hypothesize, measure, simulate and predict. We developed scientific methodology to do so, and it gives us knowledge and skills that extend our lives in the short timeframe. Truth is, in the grand scheme of things we know almost nothing. The same reason we will never be able to prove the existence of god is the reason our understanding stays limited: we only ever see part of the picture.

So for now, this is as accurately as we can measure humanity's frequency. Every reading is in the Data Gallery. Each one costs money to produce. Support the Oracle to keep the data set growing.
