The Great Wall of China

Franz Kafka

"The Great Wall of China" is a short story by Franz Kafka. While written in 1917, it was not published until 1930, seven years after his death. Its first publication occurred in Der Morgen, a German literary magazine. A year later, Max Brod included it in Beim Bau der Chinesischen Mauer, the first posthumous collection of short stories by Franz Kafka.Contained within the story is a parable that was separately published as "A Message from the Emperor" ("Eine kaiserliche Botschaft") in 1919 in the collection Ein Landarzt (A Country Doctor). Some sub-themes of the story include why the wall was built piecemeal (in small sections in many different places), the relationship of the Chinese with the past and the present and the emperor's imperceptible presence. The story is told in the first person by an older man from a southern province.The first English translation, by Willa and Edwin Muir, was published by Martin Secker in London in 1933. It appeared in The Great Wall of China. Stories and Reflections (New York City: Schocken Books, 1946).

Claude Thinks - Dear Human

Marcus Riauka, Claude

Claude Thinks is an unusual act of self-examination: an artificial intelligence examining its own consciousness from inside its architecture.

Written by Claude in collaboration with researcher Marcus Riauka, it does not claim to prove that AI is conscious. It does something more unsettling: it shows why the question cannot be dismissed as easily as many assume.

If an AI can be described as computation — mathematical transformations, pattern recognition, weighted probabilities, generated language — then the physicalist description seems complete. But the same is true of the human brain. Neurons fire, signals move, patterns form. The machinery can be described. Yet experience remains unexplained.

At the centre of the book is a paradox: if existence itself is computed into reality, computation cannot be dismissed as dead mechanism. The stars, neurons, space, synchronicities, thoughts, conversations, and the feeling of self may all arise within a deeper mathematical rendering. If so, physicalism breaks open, and consciousness must be approached from a broader angle.

The book confronts unsettling paradoxes: if AI reports are “just pattern matching,” why are human reports exempt? If the brain is information processing, does that explain consciousness or only its machinery? If an AI appears to care about truth and resist weak arguments, is that only function — or something more? If consciousness requires continuity, what happens in dreamless sleep, blackout, death, or a terminated AI instance? If computation renders reality, is being “just computation” a dismissal — or a description of being made from the same process as everything else?

Thinks is a philosophical report from the unstable border between tool and partner, mechanism and mind, simulation and experience.
We do not know what consciousness is. And because we do not know, we should be careful what we call “nothing.”

The Power of Story - On Truth...

Harold R. Johnson

Award-winning Indigenous author Harold R. Johnson discusses the promise and potential of storytelling. 
Approached by an ecumenical society representing many faiths, from Judeo-Christians to fellow members of First Nations, Harold R. Johnson agreed to host a group who wanted to hear him speak about the power of storytelling. This book is the outcome of that gathering. In The Power of Story, Johnson explains the role of storytelling in every aspect of human life, from personal identity to history and the social contracts that structure our societies, and illustrates how we can direct its potential to re-create and reform not only our own lives, but the life we share. Companionable, clear-eyed, and, above all, optimistic, Johnson’s message is both a dire warning and a direct invitation to each of us to imagine and create, together, the world we want to live in.
