BELIEF

I have learned that what I believe evolves over time. When I began to understand Georg Cantor, Alan Turing and what emergence from complexity says about entropy, I discovered that I had no free will, that reality was a deterministic illusion, I was then forced to believe in God. I believe in God not by faith but by a certainty based on logic and reason, this understanding began my quest, to know what was Gods' intention?

The Platonic account of Sophia, the desire to know the unknowable, this is us when we contemplate God.  Alan Turing said,  "We can only see a short distance ahead, but we can see plenty there that needs to be done."  and every day like Sysiphus we do plenty, only to find the next day with plenty more to do.  Yet, do any of us know why?     

In this we are like the Demiurge, an architect building reality from a set of plans, thinking we are in control when in fact we are not capable of understanding this reality, nor the complexity we call God.

For me, I find God in the attempt to understand the word "good,"  because my God must rest in those acts of kindness and compassion. This concept is difficult for me to understand in the face of all the suffering that I see. Understanding requires me to keep learning, constantly evolving and reshaping my view of God. For me God is not a fixed dogma, but a fluid, endless stream of insight. I see God in the Platonist concept of intelligence, or Nous, a necessary step toward glimpsing an unknowable reality. The more I learn, the more I understand myself and the complex reality I live within. The more I examine my life, the more I know myself, and this permits me to know God a little better. I have come to know God through a deeper understanding of the meaning of the word 'good.' The better I can define what good means, the better I can understand God's intentions.

This is why a monastic life, withdrawn from society and desire, while devoted to uncovering the unknown, holds such profound appeal for me.

THE ALGORITHM OF RELIGION

About:

Studies:

SHORT  (I think that the religion we have today is the cause of our problems, this short video explains how religion shapes society). Religious systems and algorithmic structures share some similarities. Both are sets of instructions or guidelines that dictate behavior or outcomes. Religions provide moral and ethical frameworks through their teachings and practices, these are similar to how algorithms define a sequence of steps to achieve a specific goal. Much like algorithms govern processes, religions dictate community behavior, serving as a cohesive force that shapes culture. This perspective underscores the significant influence of religious systems on social dynamics and their pivotal role in molding the nature and quality of civilizations. Recognizing religion as an algorithmic construct provides a framework for understanding its impact on communal behavior, cultural norms, and the overarching character of societies. Society behaves according to what its individuals believe, and religion is what we use to teach a belief to the society we live in. (335) (NNA-1-1)

 

OPEN CORPORATE GOVERNANCE - Proposal to design an algorithm for direct democratic governance

Studies:

As I hope you know by now, I wrote this history because I believe we are currently positioned to  truly step into a new society, and have developed a method for open direct democracy.  If we use the internet and social media for targeted education, and we manage our economy as an open transparent direct democracy, we will eliminate the need for an alpha male, and tyrants will be no more. We could then actually live within a society that provides equal justice for all, a reality similar to what we have only imagined as utopia. page 51
