human perspective: the only good in this world
Breaking Through to Us, Human
To understand what I am saying, keep in mind the truth of self-organization of processes without self-awareness, for instance swarming. This happens at all levels of organization in the universe. The realization that self-organization exists, allows us to observe civilization as a dynamic force now far more powerful than our own human animal dynamic.
I live in the hope that members of an elite think tank could find a way to find a simple way to honestly and sincerely point out these kinds of problems to all of humanity, instead of trying to control them. The main problem is the systemic opportunistic leverage of several mild human weaknesses for instance what I see as a relatively mild intrinsic duplicity in the human ape, and the resultant hotbed of civilization-as-machine mindlessly and apocalyptically consuming the biosphere, including human life. Yes, humanity is NOT responsible for the destruction of the earth. It is the self-organizing universe-as-machine nearly completely naively doing it.
The key to me is the kind of language civilization directs us to speak, which deterministically shapes our mental and material action. I think a central symptom of our “societal” mythology as human, is the idea of free will as it subjects us to esoteric authority whose free will is supposedly better informed, or in keeping with historical mythological tradition, closer to godly will because of the illusion that some are intrinstically better than others. Human will and godly will are birds of a feather. We cannot properly view the deterministic mechanics of the process if a non-existent element like God’s Will and Free Will are emotionally interjected and iconized.
The kind of language humanity speak is utterly wrong for self-preservation. Instead of domesticating our inherent weaknesses appropriate for life of survival in prehistoric nature, ideas like pseudo-godly independent agency opportunistically stir them up, because of the heightened competitive dialectic and material dynamics of our slavish participation in organizational processes.
Conclusion
The realization is that the idea of free will is not only wrong and not necessary, but fatal.
The full dynamic of the universe is a transfer of energy/information, regardless of whether there are loops of incomplete information stirring up the process: 1) genetics (sexual selection) 2) memetics (reality selection). The idea of free will is a cover-up in a process systemically bent, by way of the institution of incomplete feedback loops of ideas as in (2), on evolving humanity out of existence.

Quantum Uncertainty is NOT Free Will

Both relative mental imbalance and mental manipulation by environmental contingencies happen easily in humans because the prefrontal lobes are abnormally large compared to the rest of the brain. Human minds are exceptionally adaptable because they are precariously balanced.
In step with this, mainstream mythology is inordinately absurd. Well-adapted minds in a psychotic process are psychotic. Meaning [...]
The Illusion of Semantic Reality
about 4 months ago - No comments
If semantic reality is hollow, instead of substantial, and part of the many elements of faith contained in our vast, inter-associative semantic reality makes us believe it to be substantial, even unity substantial, then we are commensurately delusional. I can tell you that all civilizations’ semantic reality, including that of “ancient wisdom,” is nearly completely [...]
Who Cares about Humanity?

My target audience already know that gods do not exist. They are those who should be able to more readily see that the same secular abstract reality underlying god-faith, also underlies the more sober material cosmologies. They are people who have not yet dug deep enough to have uprooted the extent of the incredible nonsense [...]

My redevoering is vir mense wat klaar weet dat gode nie bestaan nie. Dit is mense wat meer gereed behoort te wees om te kan sien dat ‘n sekulêre abstrakte werklikheid die god-fantasieë maar ook die meer nugter kosmologieë onderlê. Hulle het nog nie diep genoeg gegrawe om die geweldige nonsens van die [...]

We could explain the universe as cyclical growth from virtually nothing. We cannot know a possible collapsed complexity preceding that. We also cannot know if our universe takes place in a slightly open multiverse process. Yes, in our universe we do perceive knowledge as preceding fulfillment, but we also perceive fulfillment as preceding knowledge. It [...]
Fairytales are Fantasy

Imagining non-existing certainty leads to delusionally identifying ourselves with everything. We can feel certain in the fake reality of imaginary abstraction. It can be whatever we want. We can identify with god/cosmos/abstraction to the point of thinking we are standing in its stead. We imagine becoming it. Demanding certainty unlocks infinite potential and blindly accelerates [...]
“God” is Machine.

I am not against language whatsoever, but against the human destructive way it has evolved. Things are at their worst when, as soon as you start becoming aware of the farcical delusion of your certainty, you cover it up with deliberate farce.
The epidemic is civilization. The disease is shamanic language. The pathogen is discrete [...]
Religiously Rhetorical

re. The Problem with Religion
Abstract reality is rhetorical. We can make exactly the same argument as we can for or against the existence of cold, darkness or death as we can for or against the existence of heat, light, or God. But we cannot make that argument for or against (our) existence. Abstraction as reality [...]
Machine: an Expanding Zone of Emergent Potential

This train of thought has been very effective so far; even though I am quite sure that the more conventional rational agenda would disagree and even scorn it.
I must admit I am not very practiced in mathematics and physics. I did finish first year calculus, chemistry and physics (1989) and started some mechanics and statics (1990), but [...]
Mythology as Reality

I do not agree with Plato’s cave analogy that our cognitive perception of an independent reality (IR) of the world outside the cave being cast as incomplete shadows against a wall in the cave, as our incomplete dependent reality (DR) perception of it. I do not agree that everything we individually say is an opinion about [...]
