Hello, I’m The Neutral Mind — an independent thinker from Malaysia, deeply interested in analogical thinking and cross-cultural communication. I approach large language models not just as tools, but as mirrors for testing the edges of human cognition.
In my experience, many of humanity’s deepest insights emerge not through strict deduction, but through poetic logic — metaphors, cross-domain analogies, cultural reframing. For example:
“The Mars migration project is like abandoning moldy bread to research how to eat stones.”
“A trade war is like the banker in Monopoly deciding to play the game and refusing to lose.”
“Peace isn’t the abandonment of one’s roots — it’s the art of living them more intelligently.”
These aren’t just creative expressions; they compress cultural weight, emotion, and structure into a single image. They help people feel what a concept means, across languages and traditions.
My question is this:
Can GPT — or its successors — be trained to not only recognize such metaphors, but to generate them with cultural precision and emotional resonance? Not as poetic tricks, but as tools of cognition?
I would love to hear from researchers, engineers, or anyone interested in bridging the intuitive and the computational. If there’s any red team, philosophical dialogue, or metaphor-based challenge group forming — I’d be honored to contribute.
Let us push the boundary between logic and imagination, together.
