Ancient Sensemaking in a Digital House of Mirrors

The deep analog processes of cognition and learning require coalescing information well beyond the digital "superinteligence" of AI. The way human beings learn to be in the world, in relationship with their bodies, the environment, their culture, and other people is necessarily complex. But what happens when ancient sensemaking is hooked into the deprivation of a digital house of mirrors? What might be the ways to practice becoming less susceptible to artificial intelligence's artificial seduction of that which makes us alive?
