"The myth is the prototypal, fundamental, integrative mind tool ... to integrate a variety of events in a temporal and causal framework.” Merlin Donals Origins of the Modern Mind
LLMs aid us by calling attention to the illusions of the initial conditions, so the general idea pun intended is to expose the impairment of all religion and myth (and words and symbols) by automating them. This article is a perfect demonstration, the prefrontal lighting cause by a finger of god version calling out the machine automating the words of them in prediction. Ouch.
"Nothing illustrates the transition from mythic to theoretic culture better than this agonizing process of demythologization, which is still going on, thousands of yearsafter it began. The switch from a predominantly narrative mode of thought to a predominantly analytic or theoretic mode apparently requires a wrenching cultural transformation" [ibid]
