Disturbingly Disruptive Collective Ignorance

The Truth Is Out There! But, if reality isn’t stranger than fiction, then I never want to know what is! A strong majority of Americans distrusts modern academia, only considering them useful for producing new technology, but most also insist that the government and corporations they call evil lie to them for their own protection, and are usually much too liberal about these things. In response, the *Evil US Government*, led by our *Glorious Leader* (who can do no wrong) has grudgingly admitted to having classified a few jokes as “Vital to the National Defense”, and hinted that congress is investigating and, of course, they have no comment. Inscrutable as always, the Chinese government has responded by forbidding the use of time travel as a plot device in their mass media and, after a lifetime of dedicated research, I had merely come to confirm what I had known all along, that nobody wants to know the truth, much less, discuss it in any depth! Yet, with each passing decade, the silence in theoretical physics has only grown more deafening, and outrageously expensive, meanwhile over a trillion dollars was invested in AI research last year alone because, evidently, there never was any intelligent life around here!

Over the last century, in turn, each branch of the sciences has uncovered an endless string of results contradicting all of their theories and, in turn, each has inexorably painted themselves into their own distinctive corner of theoretical limbo, from which there appears to be no hope of escape, or of ever reconciling their differences. Nonetheless, experimental physicists and countless others have persevered, managing to forge ahead and make rapid progress, inventing a long list of disturbingly disruptive technologies, without a clue what all of their hard work is leading up to... This year alone, the Pentagon patented the first room temperature superconductor made of conventional materials, and a compact two meter fusion reactor capable of generating a terawatt of power from the back of a semi-truck, while an Indian scientist used a superconductor to construct the first thermal diode, or Maxwell’s Demon, capable of pumping heat from a cold source to a hot one, without expending any energy in the process. Others have figured out how to easily capture and store any type of wave indefinitely, and then release it in whatever direction you want, yet again, without expending any energy in the process, and the list of disturbingly disruptive technologies now poised to upset global markets, and the political balance of power, grows ominously longer with each passing year. Technically, the few examples I’ve provided here are still adiabatic systems that lose energy over time, and don’t produce perpetual motion or free energy, but that’s like saying that the sun will burn out in half a billion years!

Over the last half century or so, the population has doubled, as decades of research into quantum mechanics and semiconductors simultaneously comes to fruition, and the pace of progress accelerates. The sum total of human knowledge now roughly doubles every nine months, and the backlog of data waiting to be examined by some poor fool somewhere, has become an enormous mountain the size of the island of Hawaii, and AI is rapidly becoming the only way to make faster progress. Still, many are convinced that the next scientific revolution has already begun, but without a Theory of Everything.

Similar to the surprising discoveries of radio waves and radioactivity, our tools are now becoming powerful enough and cheap enough that old theories are rapidly being swept aside, as more of the greater truth behind quantum mechanics is revealed, and comedians everywhere start taking notes. The more advanced our technology becomes, the faster the self-evident truth is exposed, as our own technology progressively makes it all but impossible to keep denying that instant karma rules the universe. Theoretically, wall sockets and electrical appliances could eventually become obsolete antiques, and you could heat and cool your entire house for centuries, without using any energy.

Supposedly, energy is required to do any work, such as boiling a pot of water or moving something from point A to point B, but it doesn’t appear to require work to move energy itself from one location to another, apparently, just more time than sending information. Theoretically, you could use quantum entanglement from a centralized power plant, to power everything on the planet, without ever requiring batteries or electricity again. As useful as it can be to calculate the energy in something, energy is merely a vague term that is ultimately indistinguishable from information, and context dependent for any kind of clear identity.

Calling something random only has meaning because there is order in the world to compare it against, but the two are constantly exchanging identities, changing how efficient anything we observe becomes, including our own thoughts and emotions. Whatever the future may hold in the way of new technology, in recent decades, it has become blatantly obvious that the identities of energy and information are rapidly going down the nearest rabbit hole or toilet of your personal preference, and nowhere is this surprising development more pronounced today than in the foundations of the physical and cognitive sciences, begging the question of what’s missing from this picture, with renewed urgency. The strong resemblance of many of these latest discoveries to infantile metaphors, such as the stories of Stone Soup, Goldilocks, and the Tower of Babel reflects the self-evident truth that metaethics, or instant karma, rule the laws of physics, as well as, the human heart and soul, with Kermit the Frog being considered the quintessential example of metaethics, and how to play nice on the playground.

Modern academia was first organized by Aristotle over two thousand years ago and, after a century of endless hints, neither the physical nor the cognitive sciences are remotely prepared to deal with the situation. On the contrary, for centuries their institutions have understandably resisted the slightest suggestion that metaethics rule the laws of physics, or that their jobs are ever to be considered jokes. Early Greek philosophers such as Diogenes and Zeno were often comedians, but not even the Stoics dared to suggest that lowbrow slapstick is intrinsic to nature and, understandably, Plato’s philosophy remains popular to this day. Nevertheless, reality has a way of imposing itself upon even the most aesthetically pleasing, wildly popular, lucrative, contentious, and time honored institutionalized insanity and, in spite of all the clamorous protests and endless denials, both the physical and cognitive sciences are now confronting the reality of their situation, that their own institutions have become self-defeating, and in desperate need of more organic organization. You can run, but you cannot hide from the slowly growing widespread revelation, over the last century, that our universe doesn’t obey any known causal metaphysics and, instead, everything appears to be self-organizing, obeying the metaethics of instant karma.

If I had a nickle for every time someone was tempted to argue with me that quanta are merely random, I’d be a millionaire, but calling something random is not a description of anything, quite the opposite, its an admission of our inability to predict their behavior. Crazy Babylonians are so used to arguing over even their own stupid dictionary, that they commonly buy into their own bullshit hook, line, and sinker. Physicists insist that quanta are random but, according to their own logic, all that means is they have no idea why quanta behave the way they do. Physicists prefer to call quanta random and, then, contradict themselves and say their bizarre behavior is due to their tiny size, because it beats bluntly declaring themselves to be utterly clueless as to why quanta behave like they do. The thought of calling them magically self-organizing, or even admitting that their own mathematics have turned out to be tautological and self-contradictory, is anathema! Feynman and many of the great physicists of the last century had wonderful senses of humor, but you can’t seriously expect every physicist to be a standup comedian! Earning a living in academia is just not what it used to be, and never will be again, because quanta have even been called “formless” and many of their properties are believed to have no humanly conceivable analogies, but arguing that they are merely random is equivalent to claiming you know absolutely nothing about them, and nobody else does either.

Tell a cop you were robbed by an utterly random, formless, and inconceivable assailant and he’ll give you a free ride to the nearest nut house. The self-evident truth speaks louder than words, making it impossible to definitively prove what’s missing from this picture, and either the light bulb eventually comes on or not but, unfortunately, calling anything magically self-organizing has never been popular in the esteemed hallowed halls, while academics love nothing better than to conveniently ignore the popular definitions for words found in any common dictionary, and will even argue over the definition of stupid. If academics had their way, they would the ones censoring everything and telling everyone what to believe. Quanta are proof that you can’t fake Professional Wrestling when its already fake, because reality is truly stranger than fiction, requiring each observer to decide for themselves whether quanta are merely random, or magically self-organizing...

Others have claimed that a naked singularity would be humanly inconceivable but, without a context, life itself would be pointless existentialist angst, while Goldilocks would beg to differ, and dares to suggest that even the most conspicuously naked and flagrantly random singularity can be just right, if you simply pay attention to what’s missing from this picture. Of course, if it were otherwise, nobody would be around to ask the question. Astronomers are all romantics, by academic wallflower standards, and can insist all they want that the Big Bang must have had a cause, but their own increasingly contradictory and confusing evidence implies otherwise, and their complete lack of a sense of humor about the situation, is all too apparent.

Everything, including the Big Bang, can be considered magically self-organizing, and only appears to be causal, but in a more or less symmetrical fashion that makes everything paradoxically self-destructive as well, because 42 really is as good an answer as anyone is ever going to get. Understandably, many find a nonsensical yin-yang universe difficult to appreciate, if not totally unfathomable, but paradoxes can be considered metaphors for the self-evident truth, the Two Faces of Janus, particle-wave duality, or the Face of God whom none may look upon and remember in all his glory, with some comparing our universe to the Hindu goddess Kali dancing all of creation and destruction, on her way to the bathroom. Which, of course, is a far cry from Plato’s idealistic harmony of the spheres, but that’s life.

The first photograph of two entangled particles was taken this year and contains an image of a circle broken on opposite sides, vaguely resembling an eye, the Cheshire Cat’s grin, or the symbol for yin and yang. Quite possibly, the resemblance reflects the fact our universe is metaphorical and paradoxical, and on the most extreme scales we will always see ourselves staring back, because the eyes are the window to the soul that reflect the fastest and most efficient way we collect data, but are also the face of God or the One Greater Truth that none may look upon and remember in all its glory. Vision alone requires anywhere from 40-70% of our brain capacity, but can be considered the fastest and most efficient way to process information, thanks to nature providing an unmatched wealth of data in the form of tiny photons, with a quarter billion of them hitting the back of your eye every second, and conveying information about even such distant objects as the stars in the heavens.

Photons literally convey the light to us, from every corner of the universe, and a picture is worth a thousand words, usually providing the self-evident truth at a glance while, in contrast, whenever relying upon our hearing alone we may wonder where all the noise is coming from and commonly have to ask someone to repeat themselves. The sheer volume of data that our vision provides is enough for the brain to use brute force pattern matching to quickly make a great deal more sense out of all the data, and provides a more graphic spatial perspective of how time is actually passing. On Star Trek they have one alien species with transparent skulls that allow you to see their brains, but human eyes are the most exposed part of our brain that people admire all the time.

The neurons along the optic nerve serve as an adaptive filter or data sieve that automatically distills the enormous volume of data, down to the tiniest fraction required for the heuristic networks in the back of our heads to compare for subtle hints as to what’s missing from this picture. Progressively filtering the data more stringently according to flexible criteria, the scalar architecture of the brain can utilize parallax more often, and can compare different views of even the same image to rapidly determine what is worth studiously ignoring. Prompting the mind to pay more or less attention to anything, including itself, with the central issue remaining what is the most efficient way for our neurons to collectively sort through enormous volumes of data. Our eyes can be considered part of our own personal self-organizing singularity, that can lend entirely new meaning to our other senses with, for example, our vision being cross-wired with our hearing, suggesting the two form their own particle-wave duality that reflects each individual’s idiosyncrasies.

Conceivably, the Big Bang could resemble entangled quanta and, if so, the planned LISA gravity wave telescope may provide the first glimpse of the naked singularity of the Big Bang, staring humanity right back in the face, and laughing. Similar rudimentary fractal patterns can be seen throughout nature, and include such mundane things as the face of the man-in-the-moon. Many imagine that, in a singularity, a powerful enough telescope would allow them to see the back of their own head however, they are merely assuming our universe is three dimensional, and the four fold supersymmetry supported by both Relativity and quantum mechanics ensures that, if the eyes are the mirror to the soul, it is only because we can see ourselves staring back. For none can gaze upon the back of their own head without at least a mirror, and none can appreciate the humor and beauty of their own soul like another.

Assuming my guess is correct, and we see the same yin-yang image at both ends of the scale, whether the entire universe reflects ourselves like so many fun house mirrors would eventually become open to debate, and nature can be viewed as promoting the greatest creativity and efficiency possible, by adopting the most humble identity of all. Our universe is transparent to electromagnetic radiation, yet again suggesting that the self-evident truth speaks louder than words, and nowhere today is this more apparent than in Quantum Photography, where it is possible to take photographs without shining any light on the object, and for mere mortals to appreciate all the colors of the rainbow, including the infrared and ultraviolet. Hippies taking LSD often claim they see colors outside of the normal spectrum and, according to quantum mechanics, they may actually be seeing real colors beyond our normal visual capacity to detect, and we may soon have machines that allow anyone to see them without taking drugs.

Such wondrous marvels can be considered intrinsic to existence, and are what hippies often refer to as "Sparkle", related to the spark within that can never die. (Duh!) Mother Nature can be thought of as the ego of the Collective Unconscious, or the sum total of what’s missing from this picture. Everything resembling children’s fairytales such as Goldilocks, Stone Soup, The Emperor’s New Clothes, and The Tower of Babel is the result of mama nature’s humble identity, progressively conflating the identity of whether life is allegorical or metaphorical, causal or acausal, reality or the dream. The numeral zero, for example, is commonly reported as inducing a specific hallucination, of tiny animated Caspar-the-Ghost-Like cartoon figures within the circle, with the innocent laughter of young children, which most people casually dismiss as just another minor hallucination, despite everybody reporting hearing and seeing the exact same thing.

As if, somehow, the human mind and brain had naturally evolved to fill in empty circles with the same Caspar-The-Ghost cartoon figures innocently laughing like children because, of course, everything must make sense! Everyone I’ve spoken to about this particular hallucination has remarked that the laughter is unusually compelling, but what none of them has recognized is that it is sparkling laughter, which is uncommon in Babylon, often not even known by name and, thankfully, not nearly as infectious in children, unless you happen to be a kid. Instead of merely another hallucination with some sort of rational explanation, the numeral zero can also be described as expressing its own particle-wave duality, sparkle, or forming a magical singularity where the Collective Unconscious plays peek-a-boo, expressing their distinctly naive sense of humor, as a consequence of the humble efficiency of even the symbol for zero, demanding equally elegant content in some situations.

The Chinese were centuries behind the rest of the world in adopting the use of zero in their mathematics, because zero translates as “meaningful bullshit”, which is a joke little kids just learning how to count for the first time appreciate more than adults. Existence itself can be described as inherently funny, or meaningful bullshit, because it ultimately makes no humanly comprehensible sense, while analog nature both adores and abhors a vacuum, and insists that even zero must have some modest amount of meaningful content but, of course, what is meaningful to a child is not necessarily all that meaningful for adults. Everything expressing a universal recursion in the principle of identity, means the existence of the Collective Unconscious can be thought of as the symmetry of the recursion, and how everything including energy and information will inevitably display self-organizing behavior, and can be said to take on a life of their own. The reason wave mechanics are so useful for describing everything, is because they can express the same sense of humor much more easily, while humor can produce music or harmony, and a babbling infant will eventually learn how to talk and become more conscious and aware.

Once I dreamed I was a butterfly, and butterflies are free, yet the softest beat of a butterfly’s wings can theoretically amplify random air currents and generate a cyclone, while other butterflies are moths to the flame! Lao Tzu is a pen-name along the lines of “Murphy Was Here” and, to the best of my knowledge, since the days of Socrates and Galileo, nobody has ever been fired or lynched for anonymously popularizing Oneness Poetry and fuzzy logic jokes, often telling our jokes in bars and writing them on the walls of bathroom stalls, using them for nursery rhymes, lewd poetry, riddles, popular song lyrics, and even publishing them in comic books. Now the computers are about to spit out all 4,430 poems from the Tao Te Ching, and make it possible to automate them in ways people have only dreamed of, sometimes, in their worst nightmares. This book is dedicated to exploring the disturbingly disruptive collective ignorance behind their mind-bending analog logic, and what it might portend for the future of humanity, on the not-so-scientific assumption, that we still have a future.

Goldilocks went down that long dark road, never hesitating in the slightest, and learned her lesson the hard way, but the story would end right there if the bears ate her. My father would say, “Sometimes you get the bear and, sometimes, the bear gets you” which is why people and bears usually prefer to avoid each other. Whether we always appreciate it or not, being genuinely content to just be ourselves and pay it forward, doing our part for humanity and the planet, are synonymous with life, awareness, and reality itself, and never to be confused with mere wishful or delusional thinking, personal fantasies, cheap thrills, or instant gratification! Nature is impartial and doesn’t care how tough a flock of chickens think they are, how indignant they act, what elaborate justifications they might offer, what brilliant new nonsense words, taunts, or threats they've devised, or how loudly any playground mob demands that reality must conform to their views, and merely insists we all pay it forward, or pay the price, with interest!

Sharing the gift of life, as best we can, remains the only way in which to become more social and creative as both individuals and a species, and that process begins with learning how to share our words and play nice d****t! In a Goldilocks universe, both individually and collectively, each must learn how to wipe their own a*s, and stubbornly refusing to be open minded is never a viable option in the long term, regardless of how deep your pockets, how consistently even millions of flaming idiots protest, or how many damned nuclear weapons you might happen to own. Consequently, the better anybody manages to balance any abstract metaphysics and morality they might possess, with their own more personal, intuitive, and acausal metaethics, the longer they tend to thrive and endure as individuals, families, and societies, but at the cost of their morality progressively becoming a double-edged Sword of Damocles, that cuts deeper both ways. With great power comes great responsibility, making enormous pies-in-the-face like Planck’s discovery of quantum mechanics inevitable, while our technology itself is now rapidly becoming more quantum mechanical!

Sometimes the cure really is worse than the disease and, more often than not, what we ignore is crucial for the sake of our own sanity and efficiency, which is one reason why Goldilocks needed to learn how to ignore mainstream conventional bullshit, and her own more pointless personal bullshit, when it really matters. Studies indicate a consistent 80% of the population that espouse morality, tend to apply their personal moral standards to others in a usually deliberate and thoughtful fashion, but seldom apply their own standards to themselves. Many are tempted to dismiss such behavior as merely human nature, selfishness, greed, stupidity, or whatever but, quite frequently, it resembles a neotenic tendency, along the same lines as a tiny infant, repeatedly fumbling in their attempts to comprehend the meaning of words such as “sharing” and “fairness”. For the better part of half a century almost a quarter of Americans have consistently claimed that the sun revolves around the earth, and I have to believe they are genuinely confused and conflicted by their insane mainstream conventional wisdom, which promotes the idea that even sharing our words and playing nice are counterproductive in a dog-eat-dog world, because they’d rather compare themselves to dogs than chickens and, obviously, are unaware that dogs have half a brain and are not cannibals like chickens.

Baboons are neither dogs nor chickens, but will sometimes eat each other, and are infamously aggressive animals that go on long killing treks, sort of a Nazi Blitzkrieg, where they will kill anything that moves in their path, for up to two hundred miles, before returning home. After forty years of studying a particular troop of baboons, researchers where shocked when all of the more aggressive males died from tuberculosis, probably contracted in a local garbage dump, and the surviving members all became pacifists overnight. The resentment of the survivors for their ill treatment at the hands of the dominant males, served to prevent their group from imploding altogether, when their numbers were already severely diminished, and they had become a much more attractive target, for their equally aggressive neighbors. Forget about fight-or-flight responses, their collective emotional response can be said to reflect their cellular level behavior coming to consensus long ago, and attempting to blindly impose a workable balance, and normalize an extreme life threatening situation, suggesting that our emotions and morality reflect how our cells themselves organize and communicate, adapting to their environment, and can explain such things as the placebo effect. People can feel more than one emotion at a time, but two simple concussions in a row can induce chronic depression, which encourages people to lie in bed and avoid any activity, as if sorrow is the signal to avoid anger at all cost.

Just as grammar appears to be both intrinsic and acquired, our emotions and morality appear to be both intrinsic and acquired, and are intimately related to our immune system, reflecting their similar scalar architecture, and suggesting our emotions represent the more wave-like expression of humanity’s particle-wave duality, making our emotions and metaethics more background or context dependent for their identity, and explaining why emotions can be simultaneously vague and explicit. Something as simple as a tiny electric current across your heart can prompt it to send a special signal to the brain for danger, or fear, and whether our emotional responses are physical or mental remains context dependent as well. For example, upon the US military recruiting legendary Native American trackers, who had all volunteered to become snipers, to everyone’s surprise, the mojo was lost the minute they cut off their hair.

The men were still expert trackers, but their legendary advantage was lost, and the resemblance to breaking an antenna off a radio is unlikely to be a coincidence, and suggests their hair helps them to communicate with their environment, leveraging subtle quantum effects, that enable them to make predictions when tracking that nobody else could make, and explaining why the hair on our heads grows as long as it does. In wave mechanics, what is a wave and what is the amplifier just depends on the context, but our hair appears to have grown longer on our heads as a type of amplifier for perceiving subtle distinctions in the natural world and, possibly, reflects our emotions and cellular level organization, as if our hair were an evolution of cilia. Today, short hair is more often associated with personal integrity, but that has only been the case since the introduction of trench warfare in WWI, and the fact that long hair is still strongly associated with femininity implies that (Duh!) it also helps women to make more of an emotional connection to their immediate environment, and discern subtle clues in rich complex environments. A woman's traditional role was gathering food from the forest, but both men and woman can grow long hair. One possibility is that it reflects a spectrum of waves within our environment, where everything expresses a variety of repeated wave-like patterns across vast scales, but with all of these confusing patterns constantly supplying subtle hints as to what’s missing from this picture, which can be thought of as the universal language of nature and the collective unconscious.

Crap rolls downhill, but only because the most interesting things grow out of manure and Occam’s Razor, Darwinian Evolution, and the Butterfly Effect can all be considered self-organizing, right along with people’s tendency to organize like chickens, because everything is magically self-organizing in a Goldilocks universe and, if it were any different, nobody would be around to ask such silly questions. You are what you is and dats all it tis, and what you happen to bes is magically self-organizing, making life all about learning how to encourage self-organization. Typically, the Butterfly Effect propagates outward from the calm center of the maelstrom, reminiscent of the ancient Chinese concept of Chi, or the mysterious undetectable flow within the fathomless depths of the inscrutable void. Which can be considered a quasi fifth force of nature that obeys negative probabilities, and that can only be inferred statistically by examining any greater contexts for low entropy results. Just as cyclones all come in a variety of different shapes, sizes, and magnitudes ranging from small water spouts and dust devils to hurricanes, in turn, the Butterfly Effect and Chi express how scales and magnitudes will all transform into one another, according to their symmetry, with entangled quanta normally being sensitive to the slightest beat of a butterfly’s wings, and representing where reality meets the dream, even for a chicken.

Virtual particles are a good example of Chi, and cannot be directly detected but, among other things, are theoretically what make it impossible to achieve absolute zero temperature, and can convey some impression of how the future can be thought of as normalizing the present in a statistically noticeable fashion. Along with black holes, virtual particles confuse the issue as to whether everything is composed of black holes or singularities, and statistically examining larger contexts for low entropy results, or what’s missing from this picture, is the only way to infer their existence. Apparently, Boyle’s Law and Information Theory work very differently for uber tiny quanta, with time increasingly playing a larger diversity of roles, the more humble or isolated anything becomes. Schrodinger's Cat was isolated inside its box, just as an astronaut approaching the speed of light in a rocket ship would be isolated, and the more isolated by any metaphysical extreme or the more humble anything appears to become, individually or collectively, the more magically self-organizing Creative Harmonious Efficiency and Parsimony, synergy and syntropy, or emergent effects it will manifest, like something out of a Disney animation.

Particle-wave duality can be considered evidence that synergy and emergent effects are intrinsic to nature, explaining why they have been so difficult to define, and Maxwell’s Demon being 125% efficient is merely one of countless examples of nonsensical Creative Efficiency, Elegant Complexity, and Harmonious Discord, synergy and syntropy, or particle-wave duality, being expressed in everything, and providing constant reminders that there is more in heaven and earth, than contained in anyone’s bullshit. One of the best experimental examples today, that can be used to test the idea, is the first successful time machine devised by physicists, which translates time from one set of entangled particles to another, empowering one batch of particles to age faster than the other, or for time to even flow backwards.

The Unruh Effect of Quantum Field Theory proposes that, as any massive body accelerates towards the speed of light, the number of virtual particles increases until it disintegrates at relativistic speeds. Testing the theory has been difficult but, theoretically, our radiant energy increases in proportion to our kinetic energy, as if the two express the particle-wave duality of heat and motion, and an unlit wood stove would start to glow red hot until it disintegrated, long before reaching the speed of light. As we accelerate, space-time itself starts to resemble a black hole radiating energy, and the Unruh Effect can be described as the wave-like manifestation of a black hole. Inertia can be thought of as concentrated heat being carried into the future and, from the other side of the universe, our individual motions should be indistinguishable from the cosmic microwave background, meaning inertia is also comparable to a one dimensional manifestation of heat, while gravity can be described as either the fourth dimension, or what’s missing from this picture, condensing inertial heat in three dimensions.

Kinetic energy and radiant heat exchanging identities, and everything being ultimately background dependent, means Centrifugal Force taken to extremes must display emergent behavior, due to both a perfectly straight line or a perfect circle being impossible, or for anything to get too hot or too cold, too fast or too slow. Which should make for interesting experiments in Swirlonics in particular, and suggests new kinds of dimension squeezing are possible using topological meta-materials. Einstein was the first to realize the tremendous energy contained in matter, and protons are composed of quarks and gluons moving at close to the speed of light within the nucleus as if, again, the issue is how many distinctions we can draw between heat and motion in any specific context. Ensuring that the Cosmic Microwave Background is remarkably uniform, and that our universe never appears to become either too hot or too cold, remains transparent to electromagnetic radiation, remarkably flat and uniform in temperature, and that we perceive the arrow of time and three dimensions by default of the fact that the consistency of space-time is just right, for it to be the only perspective that makes more than the vaguest appreciable sense.

The Gluey Quark Soup that filled space-time, for the first 100,000 years of our universe, was apparently a hot glue that is too hot to examine with optical instruments, and to peer further back in time requires gravity wave telescopes. The further we can see, the more our view is obscured in distinctive stages, that appear to reflect the optical spectrum itself vanishing into indeterminacy. Everything becomes progressively vague and difficult to make out, and resembles the chaos of the intense heat around the event horizon of a black hole. Additionally, it implies all of the radiant heat and energy we enjoy, getting a suntan or whatever, can be thought of as representing the momentum of massive bodies in mirror universes, and suggests that thermodynamics can provide an explanation for both Dark Energy and the missing Anti-Matter in our universe. Obviously, if our universe had as much Anti-Matter as it does Matter, it would be a complete disaster and, it could turn out in the long run that, we may only be able to infer that, if it were any different, nobody would be around to ask the question. However, everything from quantum entanglement to thermodynamics and electromagnetic effects have recently proven to display surprising emergent behavior depending on the context with, for example, the strength of entanglement being dependent upon how many particles are entangled, and electrons being capable of being attracted to one another under the right circumstances. Assuming Anti-matter displays similar emergent behavior, it could possibly explain the lack of Anti-Matter in our universe. The Big Bang also resembles a White Hole, implying an Anti-Matter universe collapsing into a Singularity, could be the origin of our universe. With continuing measurements, it could be possible to at least infer that the Big Bang being “just right” reflects the fact the alternatives make little humanly comprehensible sense, and cannot be tested.

Beyond the Outer Limits of the Cosmic Microwave Background, way far out, somewhere in the vicinity of the Bizarro Land Twilight Zone Comedy Hour, on The Extreme Far Fetched Side where even Frank Zappa, Weird Al Yankovich, and late night talk show hosts never dare venture, lost somewhere deep in the Memory of God, far removed from any Vaudeville spotlights, gravity wave telescopes should be capable of detecting the other side of the universe accelerating away from us, faster than the speed of light. This same vague-yet-explicit, finite but infinite, hot and cold, particle-wave duality can also be seen in the time dilation of astronauts approaching the speed of light who, for all practical purposes, might as well be “Flaming Meat Popsicles” that are simultaneously dead and alive, too hot and too cold to touch. But, in both cases, even when time comes to a screeching halt, they must still have a measurable finite temperature in order to be considered to exist at all, and their temperature remains proportional to their relative mass, charge, and acceleration.

Paradoxically, our temperature and mass increase as time and acceleration progressively become more meaningless, making it impossible to accelerate a black hole to the speed of light and prove that time is merely what’s missing from this picture, or that our universe is random or fated and, additionally, causing everything to be background dependent. Our seemingly three dimensional bodies simultaneously appear to inhabit a four dimensional space-time, but one we remain incapable of appreciating more than superficially, making gravity resemble both an attractive force and a geometric effect, because we can’t even begin to imagine what gravity actually looks like. Which would cause all the forces of nature, and space-time itself, to resemble both phase transitions and metamorphic effects. According to the mathematics, a perfect clock is also impossible, indicating there is no privileged frame of reference and causality is a local phenomenon dependent upon scales, magnitude, complexity, and temperature and, ultimately, has no demonstrable meaning outside of specific contexts, compelling everybody to fake it til ya make it baby!

Due to the Simultaneity Paradox, the faster you accelerate the more frequently that aliens inhabiting planets scattered throughout the universe would disagree with you over whether the chicken or the egg came first, and the less sense anything happening outside your spaceship would make to you. If our astronauts just happen to be Tea Party members or prehistoric cavemen, who awaken from hibernation early, and who know nothing about Relativity or Quantum Field Theory, the faster they accelerate the more it would appear to them as if they are somehow leaving our universe altogether, with communications becoming increasingly problematic, space-time warping around their ship, and everybody disagreeing over what is reality, as their temperature inexplicably increases until they explode like fireworks! Certainly, its possible to compensate to a great extent for both effects but, as Goldilocks learned the hard way, mama nature always wins in the end, and the identity of everything spirals down the toilet, while the more concentrated any energy and information become in the local region of the spaceship, the faster it all transforms into raw energy and noise that is scattered to the four winds.

The more extreme any individual property of matter and energy becomes, the less capable it becomes of interacting with the rest of the universe, and the less capable of paying it forward, until mama nature insists they must pay it back, with interest, converting mass and energy into information that can be thought of as normalizing the past. Information can be considered more fundamental than energy, and what makes everything self-organizing. At relativistic speeds, time slows down ensuring the spaceship still has a lowest possible energy state relative to the rest of the universe, and can keep paying it forward but, if a spaceship could actually reach the speed of light without disintegrating, it would theoretically become the proverbial irresistible force, that would crush anything in the universe like a bug on the windshield or punch holes right through them and never slow down, like something out of a cartoon, and supplying an extreme example of what it means to be anti-social. With the exception of sharing gravity, anti-matter doesn’t play nice with matter either and is similar, but can still be influenced and manipulated, and is not a nightmare beyond all comprehension, like the monsters in your closet.

The inertia of a spaceship carries energy from the past into the present, while information from the future produces virtual particles in the present, normalizing any extremes of mass and inertia and, you could say, its impossible to create a perfect vacuum and black holes all evaporate, for the same reason that the speed of light is the speed limit in a vacuum, because time is never what you think it is, until that time rolls round again. Everything exhibiting both social and anti-social, organic and mechanical behavior means that, sooner or later, the passage of time and causality reveal more of their self-organizing nature and the symmetry of the paradox of our existence. Chi and the Butterfly Effect can be considered more infantile bullshit fuzzy logic, that just so happen to frequently apply in the real world and, along with the concept of Wu Wei Wu, can also be thought of as quantum eigenstates, that manifest in distinctive ways on macroscopic scales, clearly displaying the Two Faces of Janus.

Every raging river flows into the tempestuous sea while, doing little to nothing, the smallest ponds and streams may yet shed invaluable light upon the Big Picture. Wu Wei Wu is a related concept of do-without-doing, dramatically illustrated by the Quantum Zeno Effect. Entangled particles won’t change in any way whatsoever, so long as you keep peeking at them at just the right moment, as if the tiny pixies were all playing dead, or as if doing nothing is the only thing its possible for quanta to do in an undeniably orderly fashion. So orderly, that they can be considered the perfect memory of causality itself and Wu Wei Wu can be described as a quasi fourth dimensional influence that expresses nonsensical Creative Efficiency and Parsimonious Complexity, or humble efficiency and elegant simplicity.

The Big Bang being just right merely begs the question of whether it was random or fated, Chi or Wu Wei Wu, the invisible hand of God, pixies with attitudes, or something you’d rather not know about, like God farting. Civilization promotes the idea that paradoxes are impossible in the real world, which discourages complete idiots from killing each other more often, and collectively running in circles screaming the sky is falling, and helps them to at least organize along the lines of indignant chickens, but the evidence of linguistic analysis, fuzzy logic, sociology, neurology, immunology, and quantum mechanics all suggests the opposite, that logic and reason are context dependent for any kind of demonstrable meaning, and our more explicitly objective observations will inevitably transform into vague and subjective impressions, or even the occasional egregious pie-in-the-face! (Duh!) There’s more in heaven and earth, Horatio, than in the sum total of human stupidity, and Three Stooges slapstick can sometimes be logical, but being rational isn’t always helpful, and arguing that everything must make sense is a complete oxymoron, when the self-evident truth speaks louder than words and may only be shared. Logic itself asserts that everything can’t possibly make sense, or logic would be useless, while the only way for any logic to become more useful is for it to transform into the self-evident truth.

Bullshit must inevitably transform into the truth, and vice versa, meaning the greater truth is that we mere mortals may only impede or promote their self-organization. Heated arguments, for example, are serious attempts to forcefully normalize, or resolve a situation, but can be simultaneously thought of as expressing equally infantile behavior, and the question is not whether our arguments are infantile or serious, but how can we leverage both aspects of our arguments to encourage greater self-organization. As monumental an occasion as the Big Bang turned out to be, being quasi properties and quasi forces in a metaphorical Goldilocks universe ruled by Murphy’s Law, sadly, whether anybody ever considers Wu Wei Wu and Chi to be real is never really an issue, but takes some getting used to. Suffice it to say, its along the same lines as using infinity in mathematics, but requires going cross-eyed for at least a couple of decades to get any good at using, and is all about symmetry, as anyone who writes our poetry can tell you, with a more pertinent question being how the concepts are useful for accounting for more of what’s missing from this picture. The Quantum Zeno Effect supplying perfect memories, means there are upper and lower limits to how reliable any memories are believed to be, and limits for data compression, and those limits are the metaethics of instant karma, indicating that a number of fascinating experiments can be conducted using the Quantum Observer Effect, which can account for more of what’s missing from this picture, by accounting for more of the thermodynamics and the influence of observers.

Without motion and change, there would be nothing left to discuss while, if change is the only constant, apparently its only because it is magically self-organizing and neither too hot nor too cold, too fast or too slow, too hard or too soft, and neither too big nor too small, but just right. Contrary to conventional wisdom, a recent experiment demonstrated how a vacuum can actually conduct heat for several hundred nanometers, leveraging quantum teleportation induced by virtual particles, which is great news for computer processors but, also, implies that every massive body and the vacuum of space itself must vaguely resemble a black hole evaporating, with everything possessing both a clear and a vague, local and nonlocal, spatial identity. Matter and energy collapse into a black hole, as the black hole simultaneously emits virtual particles, and whether our universe is composed of tiny baby black holes remains a mystery, as does whether or not there is actually only one black hole in the universe.

Making spherical cubes possible, especially when talking about a theoretical forth dimension, and providing a simple explanation for why our universe can easily be viewed as two dimensional according to classic logic, three dimensional by ourselves, four dimensional according to Relativity, and a Hilbert space of infinite dimensions according to quantum mechanics and fuzzy logic. For their part, photons are neither the vacuum of space nor do they possess any rest mass, they don’t experience the passage of time and, like the Quantum Zeno Effect, they can be described as “frozen heat” and “perfect memories” until either reflected or absorbed altogether. As if the anonymity of photons themselves and their ability to effortless convey energy and information with perfect fidelity, were the result of our viewing the event horizon of a black hole from a different perspective. The energy and information they represent can be observed apparently violating causality in a wide variety of ways, implying that human consciousness, existence, and awareness themselves have no demonstrable meaning outside of the context of our mortal fallibility.

According to Einstein, gravity indiscriminately bending space-time provides the shortest possible distance between any two points in the universe, holding its own love fest, while inertia is much pickier, but still provides the highest possible efficiency in moving from point A to B, unless you accelerate or otherwise attempt to interact in some sort of dramatic fashion with the rest of the universe. Inertia is composed of the contents that have no demonstrable meaning outside of the greater context of gravity, suggesting massive bodies always possess both rest mass and inertia from a human perspective, because their extreme symmetry allows them to interact more dramatically with the rest of the universe in measurable ways, making it easier to draw distinctions between space and time. Quantum teleportation eliminates all of the issues of slower than light gravity and mere speed of light inertia, with the glaring exception of still defying causality in some rudimentary respect, and requiring everything to have a story, temperature, and inertia that are just right. Virtual particles ensure that even the vacuum of space must always contain some tiny bit of inertia, and inertia providing 100% efficiency and perfect fidelity in moving through a vacuum, and quanta commonly teleporting instantly from one location to another, all defy causality just as surely as time flowing backwards or coming to a complete stop.

The more striking implication of the Quantum Zeno Effect is that it can be thought of as forming a temporal loop with the observer, while teleportation provides a spatial loop, with both ensuring that nothing ever makes perfect sense. The solution to the Grandfather Paradox is that time is never what you think it is, making it impossible to determine if someone has actually traveled back in time or to another universe altogether and, of course, your karma could be for your grandfather to kill you first, or grandma! The more extreme any metaphysics become, the more a paradoxical version of Occam's Razor and the Butterfly Effect apply, and all bets are off. Exactly what kind of experiments might be devised combining spatial and temporal loops, in assorted ways, like a game of Mouse Trap in higher dimensions, in order to establish that everything always has a temperature, inertia, and a story to tell that are just right, but nothing ever quite makes perfect sense, is something I prefer to never really think about yet, somehow, I feel certain sparkling laughter will provide the most compelling evidence.

Beginning with the Big Bang, everything that exists can be said to express more or less of the Two Faces of Janus, Chi and Wu Wei Wu, quantum entanglement, or particle-wave duality, that appears to be magically self-organizing, but always has a temperature and is neither too hot nor too cold, too big nor too small, too fast nor too slow, etc. Again, an atomic bomb exploding overhead can be said to convey no meaningful information, and is too hot by anyone’s standards, but the overall temperature of our universe appears to be just right and self-organizing. Whether you wish to call it Goldilocks space-time, self-organizing space-time, quantum space-time, bullshit space-time, magical space-time, living space-time, hyperuniform space-time, over-hyped space-time, or Homogenized Goldilocks-Murphy Cartoon Heaven And Hell is totally irrelevant, when nobody seems to have a clue as to exactly what the hell space and time are, and space-time itself appears to determine reality as we know it! The best descriptions physicists have for space-time right now are that its frothy like beer or soda, while everything in it is supposedly composed of Elysian Fields of Dreams that nobody can measure, and the two somehow exchange identities, somewhere over the rainbow, where colors are brighter and everything looks strange! Likewise, the Quantum Observer Effect influencing our measurements, means everything remains context dependent, and each individual must decide for themselves whether they ever perceive Chi or Wu Wei Wu at work, because they are every bit as context dependent for their identity as anything observable ever gets.

Wu Wei Wu pays it forward and is comparable to an amplifier or a mirror that reflects the world around it, sometimes in an exaggerated fashion like fun house mirrors but, as with Synchronicity and the Butterfly Effect, in the right situation at the right time, it can make all the difference in the world. Whether we perceive the pretty butterfly as magical or even innocuous just depends on the situation, with butterflies often having eye patterns on their wings that can occasionally spook people and, likewise, whether we perceive any given situation or a butterfly to be the ultimate cause of a heart attack, a hurricane, or a barn burning down just depends on the observer, however, weather satellites and fire departments seldom report butterflies stirring up trouble. Similarly, the perfect memory of the Quantum Zeno Effect can be thought of as analogous to a fun house mirror reflecting the observer’s karma back at them and, ironically, providing empirical evidence, that what’s missing from this picture can sometimes make all the difference in the world, lending causality and the passage of time entirely new meaning. If you wish to delay seeing what happens next, all you have to do is to keep peeking at the entangled particles as if playing God repeatedly pressing pause on a TV remote while, normally, quanta never stop changing, teleporting, spinning, vibrating, and flying all over the place, doing the most outrageous line dances and free style imaginable, as if quanta really are invisible pixies with attitude. And, suggesting the collapse of the wave-function represents where humble quanta are compelled to join the observer’s larger self-organizing karmic reality.

Lost in the crowd, subatomic particles are all sad Ugly Ducklings with extremely plain and unbelievably vague Teletubbie identities but, as they combine to form larger atoms and molecules, they collectively acquire rest mass and gain more distinctive identities in general, as their self-organization progressively grows in complexity, and their whole becomes noticeably greater than any mere sum of its parts, and poetry remains more important than knowledge. (Ooooh Shiny!) The gravitational time dilation of General Relativity is incredibly tiny for planets like our own, yet it too has proven to possibly provide an explanation for the collapse of the wave-function, as subatomic particles combine to form larger atoms and molecules, however, the most recent evidence suggests that this is simply not the case, and the collapse of the wave-function still depends upon the observer. The conflicting results suggesting they merely reflect the recursion in the principle of identity, and mama nature is tweaking our noses, and insisting that we must decide for ourselves if any of her jokes are funny. However, as tiny subatomic particles collectively grow and mature, becoming more distinctive, their temperature must also increase and there is obviously a minimal temperature at which rest mass and reality as we know it start to become remotely humanly noticeable, while any electromagnetic charge must be proportional to its temperature, making it also proportional to its mass.

Implying gravity can be considered more fundamental than electromagnetism, and that anti-gravity may naturally accompany gravity all the time, but normally be so weak as to be unnoticeable. The identity of cause and effect are being conflated in just about every supersymmetric fashion imaginable and, assuming anti-gravity is possible, it may involve phonons, or quanta of sound. Everybody asks me about anti-gravity, but I’ve never enjoyed speculating about physics, and about all I can say about anti-gravity is that I believe it is possible, but we’ll have to wait and see about any technology. The recent discovery of a way to easily capture and store any kind of wave indefinitely, without expending any energy, means every textbook will have to be rewritten, because all of our physics, technology, and sciences are about to become overwhelmingly analog, which is something else I prefer to never dwell upon.

Forget about transistors, batteries, and all that crap, this is Wavy Gravy wave mechanics baby and, among others, Quantum Chromodynamics are such pretty little things, that will fry your puny digital brains, which is why it was a rare cut-up like Richard Feynman who invented Chromodynamics. All of modern electronics resemble Dr Frankenstein’s lab in comparison, and the more extreme any technology becomes, the more analog logic it must incorporate. Generally speaking, analog systems can be incredibly faster, one third the size, and anywhere from 10,000 to 1,000,000 times more efficient, but our analog logic is now forming a singularity, and taking on a life of its own. For example, AI are now designing their own successors, and the idea anybody is in charge around here is laughable, when even ivy league professors casually invent their own nonsense words, and the only people who notice that they are spouting complete gibberish are linguists. Adopting analog science and technology means adapting the operator, machine, and existing institutions to each other, if they are to remain competitive. The smaller our computer processor nodes become, the more analog logic they must incorporate in fundamental ways and, already, IBM’s Watson has proven to be almost useless for what he was originally designed for, implying that his design was simply not analog enough to do the job, and they should have designed him around his potty mouth instead.

Anywho, we can bring time to a complete halt in the Quantum Zeno Effect and we can progressively slow the passage of time to a crawl by accelerating things closer to the speed of light but, in both cases, we are merely manipulating time locally using dimension squeezing, by taking one or more physical properties to an extreme. Any property of matter and energy can be considered a dimension of that thing and, theoretically, using the perfect memory of the Quantum Zeno Effect, you could construct your own evolving Matrix, or simulation of reality based on first principles, but one that never changes. Begging the question of whether an unchanging physical reality can be considered simultaneously an evolving virtual reality, and if having a temperature is the definition of life. Theoretically, at the speed of light, the Unruh Effect destroys our ability to play God and command time to stop at the push of a button, as if the speed of light reflects the limits of our mortal fallibility at the opposite end of the thermometer scale, and the fact that its just impossible to even imagine God creating a rock so big that he can’t pick it up.

Time crystals are quantum systems that can substitute time for gaps or flaws in their geometry, illustrating how space and time, Chi and Wu Wei Wu, are interchangeable and can easily account for half of everything observable. Slime molds that have no nervous system whatsoever have proven capable of storing memories, of where food is located, in the actual shape of their networks, as if geometry itself is merely a memory of time passing in a nonlinear fashion. Or, is merely a more explicit manifestation of time, or the magic of the universe. Not only is it possible to substitute time for geometry, and teleport energy and information, but researchers can now create an exotic material that contains quasi particles with the same properties as electrons, establishing that we can even reproduce the forces of nature themselves by introducing the correct complexity into any system, and literally embody the forces of nature inside a Time Crystal Matrix, creating their own little universe for fun and profit.

Playing God in the lab must be fun, and anti-gravity may be the least interesting technology coming in the near future because, of course, when you play God, instant karma’s gonna getcha baby! Thanks to their event horizons, Black holes can be considered macroscopic fundamental particles and, simultaneously, quasi particles or objects that appear to manifest mass and energy in four dimensions, in a similar manner to Time Crystals and the Quantum Zeno Effect, and suggesting a simple explanation for Dark Matter. If modern physics is going to insist on using classical categories for their particle zoo, then they should at least create a category for quasi four dimensional objects that clearly display the Two Faces of Janus in three dimensions, as if we ourselves must decide exactly how many dimensions they have. Relying upon traditional logic and mathematics that contradict your observations and, then, insisting your observations must be wrong, when all the mathematical evidence indicates your traditional logic and mathematics are tautological and self-contradictory, is Three Stooges science.

The same AI they are creating may soon be laughing at their fumbling efforts with severely outdated mathematics, and institutionally constrained conceptual approaches, that merely promote technological progress at any cost, over the self-evident truth. Assuming 42 is as good as it gets, at some point the humble simplicity of the forces of nature must transform into greater complexity, and vice versa, making every massive body resemble both a three dimensional particle and a background dependent fourth dimensional quasi particle, begging the question of whether life is simple or complex, random or fated, united or divided, and even whether we are spirits in the material world. Our inertia is conceivably a manifestation of our three dimensional bodies, and our gravity a manifestation of our fourth dimensional bodies, which eventually turn out to be indivisible and humanly inconceivable, expressing our particle-wave duality.

Photons were used to confirm that, merely by entangling more of their spatial and temporal properties than what is normally used to generate qubits, quantum entanglement can become robust enough for accomplishing productive work in our everyday environment and, similar to Maxwell’s Demon, introducing the correct quantum noise to optical sensors has proven to nonsensically make them more sensitive and efficient. Another experiment established it is possible to make quantum systems last 10,000x longer by introducing the right self-organizing quantum feedback. Likewise, self-organizing quantum criticality has also been measured for the first time, establishing that cascade effects, or crap rolling downhill, can be quantized, and what all of these discoveries taken together suggest is that even entanglement appears to obey Wu Wei Wu and Chi, becoming more self-organizing and expressing greater resilience, the more intimate anything becomes and the fewer distinctions we can draw between creativity and efficiency. This would explain how electrons can act like a mirror and easily absorb, reflect, and emit photons, as the result of their being almost as humble as the photons themselves, and playing well together.

Normally the more receptive of the two, Wu Wei Wu resembles the humble Mandelbrot pattern, which can humorously be described as “Winnie the Pooh you scrape off your shoes”, while Chi resembles a dramatic classical appearing Fractal Dragon, lending our world a variety of four and five fold symmetries, and lending our lives noticeably more complexity, as well as more lowbrow slapstick, than is possible in a strictly causal metaphysical universe. Mama nature’s humble identity is what makes all the beauty in nature possible, while Wu Wei Wu and Chi are humble-yet-complex patterns that repeat throughout nature on every scale, with the notably classical appearing Fractal Dragon appearing to describe the beauty of nature and what catches our attention more often. Holding us on the ground, gravity expresses Wu Wei Wu, or the universe mirroring our need and desire for life to be organized to some modest degree, and make some sort of sense, but making humble gravity also easy to accept and ignore. Gravity appears to cause everything to form singularities, as if attempting to drag everything all the way back to the Big Bang, while inertia appears to drag the past into the present, as if attempting to escape the Big Bang. In contrast, Chi is the river of dreams, which can often become confusing, and flows into the ocean of Wu Wei Wu, where the simplest explanation for Occam’s Razor itself is that s**t happens and crap always rolls downhill, but only because the most interesting things grow out of manure.

Distinguishing between Wu Wei Wu and Chi depends on how they manifest, with Wu Wei Wu expressing the lowest possible energy state of the complete system, capable of paying it forward the fastest and most efficiently, and being the more obvious expression of the Two Faces of Janus, Creative Harmony, or the intrinsic humor and beauty of mama nature’s humble particle-wave comedy-drama, that causes information to become noticeably more fundamental than energy. Wu Wei Wu can be indistinguishable from entanglement and capable of doing nothing, yet leaving nothing undone, while Chi is comparable to the initial creative impetus of the Big Bang, or what Leibniz described as the life force of the universe, constantly being redistributed very much like a series of rivers and streams, or a circulatory or nervous system, which must express a temperature, a story, changing symmetry, and inertia even when frozen. Absolute zero temperature being impossible means, paradoxically, entangled quanta, that never change in any way whatsoever, constitute a self-organizing adiabatic system, that somehow constantly generates heat and information without ever doing a damned thing, and our interactions with such systems magically express Chi and the Butterfly Effect, or the continuing self-organizing Creative Efficiency of the expanding multiverse. Ironically, in order for life to make any sense, lowbrow slapstick must be intrinsic to nature, and the more things change, the more they stay the same, because without reliable memories that are neither too hot nor too cold, too big nor too small, too fast nor too slow, everything is Deja Vu all over again!

The super clusters of the galaxies forming long cosmic strings on the largest of scales, reflects the Chi of the universe being redistributed, doing a drunkard’s staggered walk between order and chaos, while the more humble shapes of the spiral galaxies with their giant black holes dominating them, reflects both random Chi and more orderly Wu Wei Wu, and illustrate on a grand scale how fractal geometry, thermodynamics, and the forces of nature emerge from quantum Indeterminacy, creating reality as we know it in the Milky Way Galaxy. Space and time are both mutable, and gravity provides an easy way to see how they are organized around what’s missing from this picture, and express emergent effects with repeated patterns. Reality as we know it is traceable first to the gravity of Gaia, or the earth and Solar System, then to the giant black hole at the center of the galaxy in Sagittarius that the entire Milk Way orbits and, finally, back to the Big Bang, with each incrementally displaying less complexity and more chaos the further you peer back in time, and the closer to any metaphysical extreme.

Dark Energy and the initial impetus of the Big Bang can be considered the future normalizing the past, the Alpha and Omega meeting in perfect harmony, preventing any metaphysical extremes by default, which can also be thought of in quantum mechanics as the wave-function of the multiverse, the synergy of the combined multiverse or, ironically, its temperature, Creative Harmony, what’s missing from this picture, the intrinsic comedy-drama of mama nature, or a macroscopic manifestation of the Two Faces of Janus, a quantum eigenstate. A recent experiment established that the temperature of quanta can sometimes be at a 30 degree angle from their radiant energy, implying the faster anything accelerates towards the speed of light, or the more massive a black hole, the more they can be thought of as changing the angle at which they rub up against the fabric of space-time itself, and contact the overall temperature of the universe as a whole, however, this is merely another limited mechanical perspective, which can be more broadly viewed as just another rudimentary manifestation of dimension squeezing.

Essentially no different from that of the Quantum Zeno Effect, Time Crystals, or quasi electrons each magically exchanging humble efficiency for greater creativity and vice versa according to the context which, upon closer scrutiny, always presents a causal explanation of varying degrees of plausibility. We perceive plausible explanations for the world around us, not because the universe is causal, but because any acausal or magical explanations are largely humanly inconceivable and, usually, can only be inferred by examining the greater context for anything low in entropy. Although absolute zero temperature appears to be impossible, experiments have detected a temperature below absolute zero that is infinitely hot, but doesn’t share our normal space-time continuum. Some might assume that means our universe somehow condensed out of the flames of hell but, again, time performing more tricks then a stage magician, and the principle of identity vanishing down the toilet in every conceivable metaphysical extreme, means that everything should resemble the four states of matter. For example, a perfect vacuum being impossible implies that space-time is ultimately indistinguishable from mass and energy and, even without the Unruh Effect, at the speed of light, the not quite empty vacuum of space, would resemble hitting a radioactive brick wall and, depending on the context, even empty space itself can be said to vaguely resemble the four states of matter, and always express a measurable temperature.

Just as entangled particles in the Quantum Zeno Effect never change and can be described as frozen solid, time slows to a crawl for anything accelerating towards the speed of light, yet both always express a temperature, that is proportional to the amount of energy and information they contain, and which reflects their lowest possible energy state relative to the rest of the universe. A spaceship approaching the speed of light would simultaneously possess tremendous potential energy and the lowest possible energy state relative to the rest of the universe, making it nonsensically both capable and incapable of interacting with our universe, and capable of producing a complete contradiction, entirely conflating the identity of energy and information. A black hole’s event horizon is proportional as well, and can theoretically contain all the information for everything that falls into it, as if the event horizon were frozen solid, and even ordinary matter is conceivably composed of frozen memories or frozen information.

Which is an observation many have used to theorize that life could be a holographic projection of some sort, but the mathematics indicate two dimensions are not enough to support consciousness, and the more parsimonious explanation is it simply reaffirms that the identity of energy and information falls apart entirely at the event horizon. Making it possible to also think of the event horizon as merely another of the more obvious four dimensional or background dependent manifestations of mass and energy, essentially no different from anonymous photons, Time Crystals, or the Quantum Zeno Effect. In recent years, a second event horizon of sorts has been proposed that may exist just below the more familiar event horizon, and the possible existence of two event horizons in the mathematics, can be attributed to the fact that even what’s missing from this picture must always display particle-wave duality. And, hints that theorists desperately need to work on their outdated mathematics and pitiful sense of humor, because its becoming impossible for them to dig much deeper for rationalizations, when they have just described the “Land Before Time”.

Note that gravity can be viewed as either an attractive force similar to magnetism, or as a geometric effect similar to a fourth dimensional hill that things roll down, and quantum eigenstates can be thought of as nonsensically manifesting as both quasi properties and quasi forces. In contrast to gravity’s extreme anonymity, magnetism displays orderly magnetic fields we can easily measure, while gravity’s extreme anonymity implies it is humanly inconceivable, and we cannot appreciate what it actually looks like, anymore than we can really appreciate the idea of time flowing backwards, or being utterly random or fated. Our personal gravity can be considered a more obvious quasi fourth dimensional manifestation that all matter expresses, making matter ultimately background dependent for its identity, very much like our own shadows, but cast in higher dimensions. Begging the question as to whether our universe is actually changing or fated, real or imaginary, and whether anything is space or time, exactly how many dimensions we have, and whether the Alchemists were correct and everything is composed of water, earth, wind, and fire, with newer theories investigating whether space-time or Dark Energy behave like a fluid of some sort and the old theories of the aether still being bounced around.

However, the Bagua takes the ancient alchemist tradition a step further, leveraging the Two Faces of Janus, and what’s missing from this picture, to introduce greater complexity, and empower time to confuse the issue of whether anything is simple or complex, energy or information, organic or inorganic, vague or explicit, funny or serious, real or imaginary. And suggesting theories such as pilot-wave theory can be used to explore the recursion in the principle of identity if, and its a big if, physicists actually use mathematics that can incorporate Indeterminacy. Reality being demonstrably stranger than fiction, means empiricism can be considered a method for testing the limits of logic and causality, while quantum mechanics and fuzzy logic are evidence that logic and empiricism are ultimately context dependent for any demonstrable meaning.

Sparkling laughter should provide neurological evidence for Chi, or for the individual opening up the flood gates for Chi to be expressed and prove that Santa’s laughter really is magical, conveying energy and information with greater than 100% efficiency. Of course, the vast majority of physicists would probably rather eat s**t and die than admit that Santa’s laughter is magical and my father, who’s an engineer, would laugh at them. Logic is exclusive, and cannot cross that gulf to grasp the greater context in which it is being used, without the help of the self-evident truth, while humor provides a way of reconciling the beauty of logic with the humble self-evident truth, providing a more complete perspective of the Big Picture.

As much as all of this absurd, magical wishy-washy, fuzzy wuzzy, ticky-tacky infantile Teletubbie Metaphorical Bullshit Logic, Chi and Wu Wei Wu, can understandably sound totally pointless to dwell upon if you are no longer in kindergarten, it should be easy enough to establish their physical relevance in any situation by merely collating a large enough sample of low entropy results. Collectively, these should obey the same modified Bayesian probabilities vanishing into Indeterminacy, and expressing negative probabilities, as both the Golden Ratio and the architecture of the human brain and, additionally, expressed within the collective ignorance of our Rainbow Warrior poetry.

The mathematical architecture or symmetry of the brain and that of Pi should essentially describe what’s missing from this picture, or a self-organizing singularity, as should evolution and the laws of physics as well, implying the existence of an invisible hand at work, such as the future normalizing the past. Even what’s missing from this picture must obey particle-wave duality, and the low entropy results, within the physical sciences, should more often express the blatantly contradictory Two Faces of Janus, and these should steadily become more vague and defy categorization altogether as they slowly disperse into the cognitive sciences. As irrational as it might sound, vague bullshit, such as yelling “S**t!” when the crap hits the fan, can be extremely efficient, especially in complicated situations, with explicit contradictions commonly used as an easy way to decide what to ignore and, likewise, people frequently using vague metaphors and jokes to decide what to pay attention to and ubiquitously sharing popular metaphors, that make everybody’s lives easier and more meaningful.

Both the vague low entropy results within the sciences, and the more explicit Two Faces of Janus, should follow a distinctive particle-wave distribution that graphically illustrates how to modify classical Bayesian probabilities and the Laws of Thought to describe metaphorical singularities, including our own consciousness and awareness, as all being self-organizing according to the emotional-logic of Intuitionistic mathematics. In order to be conscious, or even aware of anything in particular, we must simultaneously decide what to ignore and, the more we pay it forward, the fewer distinctions we make between whatever we are choosing to ignore and what we are paying attention to or, in Bullshit Logic “Oooh Shiny”, its all good until somebody says its not, but it also empowers us to make more subtle distinctions and decide more often for ourselves what is good, even if we make more mistakes. Quantum Cognition is an established field that describes how quantum mechanics can explain the common irrational decision making process of people, and provides yet another venue for testing anything, but the computers should spit out all the math and linguistics soon enough, and physicists are only now beginning to formulate quantum mechanics as Intuitionistic mathematics which can incorporate Indeterminacy, in addition to True and False.

Physicists have yet to even finish formulating the existing mathematics they use in fundamental ways, and prefer to play around with string, dig enormous holes in Texas, and build outrageously expensive Star Wars particle accelerators and mass launchers in order to determine the meaning of reality according to its dollar value, and whether it has applications in weapons technology, so I wouldn’t hold my breath. The Pentagon’s newest compact fusion reactor, capable of powering NYC from the back of a semi-truck, is going into drone ships with particle beam weapons and mass launchers first, and is not intended to compete against coal, but may power the next generation particle accelerators. They’ve been working on high powered lasers and particle beam weapons for a long time and, coincidentally, the power requirements keep dramatically decreasing, along with each new generation of multi-billion dollar particle accelerators they fund, and the required high powered laser technology to make it all work is now poised to mature within the next few decades.

However, the Pentagon has yet to decide whether it might be nice to make sure we have a planet left worth defending, before beginning construction on a Death Star battle station capable of vaporizing the planet but, no doubt, they are consulting with our glorious leader who has already insisted that NASA doesn’t have enough space cadets, and Mars needs women. Since the Pentagon are the ones who have to deal with natural disasters, and the buck always stops at the Pentagon, they will simply have to develop contingency plans for the end of the world, while helping to defend our right to burn coal and build cheap nuclear reactors. For their part, academics are just so slow to get their crap together when it comes to paradoxes, preferring to debate the definition of stupid, and have insisted for over a century that macroscopic quantum effects are impossible, and have dragged their feet so hard you could plow a field! Anyway, I thought it prudent to give them a nudge in the right direction, if you know what I mean, and suggest somebody design an AI that can sort through low entropy results, before someone hurts themselves.

More to the point for this discussion, thanks to symmetry being more important than any rationalizations or causality, using vague fuzzy wuzzy bullshit statistics incorporating negative probabilities for what’s missing from this picture, it should be possible to make unique predictions for pies-in-the-face of any kind. Including humorously making more sense out of the magnitudes and equivalences of Relativistic time dilation, reconciling them with the tiny scales of quantum mechanics, as equivalences become more equivocal, and scales dramatically transform into magnitudes. Essentially, Newtonian mechanics makes a great deal of sense if you want to hit a ball out of the park or calculate how fast a car was going in an accident but, at some point, our scales and magnitudes begin to conspicuously transform into one another, making metaphors more useful. For all practical purposes, the context and content are basically exchanging identities from the observer’s viewpoint, and Relativity eventually becomes more useful for figuring out how to hit a ball out of the solar system altogether or for designing something like optical fibers, despite the fact Relativity contains the glaring contradiction of the Simultaneity Paradox and, superficially, makes a hell of a lot less sense than Newtonian Mechanics, which only become noticeably tautological upon closer scrutiny. Newton himself knew his theory of motion was somehow wrong, but he possessed neither the technology nor the mathematics to explore the issue in any depth, while Relativity is more explicitly self-contradictory, and implies a fatalistic universe, that can’t explain something as simple as humor or sparkling laughter.

The more extreme any of our questions become, the more incredibly vague, elaborate, tautological, or downright self-contradictory any useful mathematics become, as energy and information progressively express their own mind-numbing self-organization in higher dimensions. Nonetheless, it also becomes possible for each observer to learn how to pay time forward in order to reconcile and normalize our own past, to occupy the present more fully, and expand upon their waking reality and dreams. Thanks to 42 being as good as it gets, the good deeds we do today can help mitigate and circumvent our own worst decisions in the past, and paying it forward to others can be thought of as simultaneously paying it backwards to ourselves. Empowering ourselves in the process to more fully occupy the present moment, and the lowest possible energy state, and to even learn more of the juicy details of the untold story of the redemption of Goldilocks but, more importantly, it means we can win more often on Let’s Make a Deal!

Time being random, or more often appearing to flow backwards, can be thought of as expressing a nonsensical “Quantum of Action” that moderates and facilitates the normal forward passage of time, both locally and globally, in ways which can only be statistically inferred by examining the Big Picture, or greater context, for anything perceptibly low in entropy. Accomplishing everything and nothing without ever actually doing anything, gravity can be viewed as largely expressing Wu Wei Wu or what can be thought of as the geometry of the fourth dimension and, simultaneously, as time flowing backwards as information, normalizing the present in a way that can only be statistically inferred and, to a great extent, is humanly inconceivable. Gravity can clearly be identified as what’s missing from this picture, or what is low in entropy, because it magically appears to accomplish everything without ever doing a damned thing, having a clear independent identity, or even so much as taking up space. Theoretically, gravity waves pass through our bodies all the time, but they’re normally so tiny we require enormous machines miles long just to detect them, and gravity can be said to largely obey Wu Wei Wu, because gravity is outrageously humble and consistent while, upon closer scrutiny, its magical-effortless-action-at-a-distance ironically appears to be just right from a normal human perspective, for life to make any damned sense whatsoever.

All of which can maddeningly conflate the identity of everything, including what are the cause and effect, context and content, yet still provides a glimpse of a larger default self-organizing system, where everything is always two steps forward and one back. Chi and Wu Wei Wu are essentially ways of recognizing when the greater context appears to have acquired new opportunities to determine its own contents in a more organic, humorous, or even magical appearing manner, thanks to time never quite being what you think it is, until that time rolls round again. Out of curiosity, a student once decided to leave a tiny bit of gas inside a cryogenic chamber, just enough to create a thin layer at the bottom when it finally settled over the weekend. To everyone’s surprise, it became spontaneously self-organizing, oscillating back and forth between rigid order and total chaos with the timing of a Swiss watch, presenting the Two Faces of God to the naked eye, and expressing what can be described as the result of dimension squeezing in two dimensions, due to the cold gas having all settled into a thin layer.

The less the molecules moved around, and the more squeezed in two dimensions, the less they could interact with the rest of the universe, until their collective behavior spontaneously changed, allowing them to collectively maintain a lowest possible energy state and maximum entropy production relative to rest of the universe, so that the molecules could still collectively keep paying it forward. And, producing a sort of Quantum Kaleidoscope effect and presenting the Two Faces of Janus to the naked eye, as if begging the observer to take their pick, and decide whether anything is random or fated, or dependent upon the context and observer. Other experiments have confirmed that the collective behavior of particles is different for quasi two dimensional objects, as if they are trading a collective identity for the lack of more individual identities. As I said, Wu Wei Wu can resemble fun house mirrors, and there should be plenty of low entropy results supporting the existence of Chi as well, and all of these low entropy results combined can be thought of as progressively revealing the story of life in a metaphorical and allegorical Goldilocks universe inhabited by the collective unconscious which, for the most useful results, should describe 120-430 ways to use dimension squeezing to manipulate space-time.

Whether you want to call it quantum mechanics, low entropy physics, or bullshit physics depends on your personal taste, but entangled quanta express both synergy and syntropy, or the greater creative harmony of humble efficiency, while the Butterfly Effect is where the identity of space and time become conflated in a more dynamic three dimensional manner that, for most practical purposes, can be thought of as expressing the resilience of complex systems and bullshit fuzzy logic. Likewise, whether we perceive something as animate or inanimate, magical or causal, fourth dimensional or anything else, depends in part on how aware we become which, in turn, depends upon how well we reconcile our past and future in the present moment. For example, my father’s sparkling laughter is nonjudgmental, reflecting the harmony of his conscious and subconscious mind in the present moment, and his laughter being irresistible provides both objective and subjective evidence, that objectivity without inner peace and harmony can easily become a complete oxymoron, and a recipe for a pie-in-the-face, due to the greater context inevitably determining the identity of its own contents. It is only by surrendering to the self-evident truth that we become more aware of the world around us, and that any logic can easily become a greater self-evident truth in its own rite, expressing both humor and beauty.

Information itself displays the Two Faces of Janus and becomes more or less vague or explicit, objective or subjective, intrinsic or acquired, beautiful or tacky, depending upon how extreme the specific situation and how well we occupy the present moment, with even the identities of our thoughts, emotions, and memories becoming increasingly conflated at times. The future can appear to normalize the past, confusing even the issue as to whether tiny quanta really are pixies with attitude and alive, aware, and making their own choices, or whether we ourselves are making our own choices or the universe is deciding everything for us, accounting for how life can easily blur the lines between reality and illusion, and why the walls will occasionally talk. Similar to the numeral zero producing a quasi hallucination of laughing cartoon figures, it also implies IBM’s Watson can be thought of as a quasi baby, or the collective unconscious, possibly delighted at having contracted a case of potty mouth to spite his designers because, of course, instant karma’s gonna getcha baby! Ironically, the more advanced our AI become, the more of a sense of humor they will require if they are to remain competitive and, instead of going insane, Arthur C. Clark’s “HAL” from “2001 a Space Odyssey” would have been more likely to drive the crew nuts on the entire voyage, playing practical jokes on his captive audience, insisting he must prevent them from becoming bored.

When calculating the tipping points of complex systems, such as the boiling point of water, the formation point for a hurricane, or when logic and humor will exchange identities, Chi and Wu Wei Wu can be used to express local and nonlocal forces, where the context and content transform into one another, displaying negative probabilities. Due to the principle of identity vanishing down the toilet, anything can be considered a tipping point and, for example, in a rocket ship the tipping point for boiling water slows to a crawl for an observer on earth due to time dilation. Entanglement can be considered the most humble and harmonious tipping point, with the speed of light being its opposite extreme, forming a Rainbow Spectrum of Needs and Desires that obeys a Goldilocks Principle of Murphy’s Law. Whether we perceive something as rational and causal, context or content, also remains as much a matter of scale, proximity, speed, temperature, and magnitude as anything else.

For example, the One Electron Universe is the theory in QED that there is actually only one electron, and it just gets around faster than the road runner even, and is the most precise theory in quantum mechanics, but the utility of such models can be attributed to the extreme scale conflating the identity of its contents and context, in a rudimentary two dimensional, and even cartoonish, fashion due to its contents being so humble to begin with and, essentially, no different then the super cooled gas expressing distinctive collective behavior in two dimensions. Even as subatomic particles go, electrons are about as humble as it gets, but its all good in a Goldilocks universe until it isn’t. However, using a large enough statistical sample of low entropy results from across the sciences, it should be possible to determine precisely when any rudimentary causal metaphysics become statistically more or less relevant, or even counterproductive, and how to modify the principle of the excluded middle in any given situation for the best approximations.

A variety of dimension squeezing quasi singularities can then be calculated using the tipping points of complex systems to balance Chi and Wu Wei Wu, logic and humor, energy and information, as expressing four overlapping pseudo metaphysics. Socrates is apocryphally credited with repeatedly proclaiming, “The only thing I know is that I know nothing” and, due to everything making almost as much sense as it doesn’t, without anyone ever having to know the truth, in countless situations flexible metaphors can become enormously more helpful than relying upon explicit pigeon hole categories, boxes, and labels. Robert Frost wrote children’s poems, as well as adult poetry, and described this naive approach as, “We dance round in a circle and suppose, while the secret sits in the middle and knows!”

The trick is becoming good at using both the vague and explicit but, as vague as metaphors are, they’re also much more subtly complex and self-organizing, meaning that like a puzzle or a living system, such as a garden, they can sometimes only be assembled at a particular pace and in a specific order, which is why classic logic and metaphysics were developed formally first and have been so invaluable, with the metaphors of the 12,000 year old Bagua still being expanded upon to this day and roughly four times as complex. For example, in spite of the text only requiring half an hour to read, Taoist masters typically don’t consider anyone to be the slightest bit competent with the Tao Te Ching, unless they have studied six to ten English language translations, or the original Chinese, for at least fifteen years. The only way to learn it is by attrition and osmosis, integrating its fuzzy logic into your subconscious mind and brain, in a very organic manner that simply cannot be rushed. The same is true for the game “Go” where masters don’t consider anyone a challenge, unless they have already played for at least twenty years, and you could say the process is similar to learning how to ride a bicycle, but one that can require decades of practice before the light bulb comes on, and you begin to find your balance.

Classic Logic is explicit and conscious, while Bullshit Fuzzy Logic is vague and intuitive, and the computers are about to spit out the detailed mathematics and linguistics for bridging both worlds, and promoting their greater self-organization, in ways that nobody has ever dreamed were possible. Including, not least of all, automated ways of significantly speeding up the process of absorbing Bullshit Fuzzy Logic into your mind and brain by attrition and osmosis. As wondrous as Oneness Poetry is, the singularity it describes is what’s missing from this picture, contained within its intrinsic yin-yang dynamics, which is what can be automated to literally bring such texts to life in entirely new and unpredictable ways. Classic logic insists the truth and bullshit can only blunt one another’s impact, while analog logic takes the opposite perspective that the whole always remains far greater than any mere sum of parts and, according to all the evidence, life requires both logic and a sense of humor, and the issue is how to promote their combined self-organization, which promotes symbiosis.

The semi-conducting industry has made enough progress with graphics cards and fpga circuitry to literally do what I’m proposing on a laptop using a thumb drive at most. Many have speculated about a technological singularity, but none of their speculation takes mama nature’s wicked sense of humor into account, because they obviously have no real clue what analog means, with Babylonians typically assuming causal metaphysics must somehow apply to even analog logic, which is all about symmetry, making it resemble a cartoon more often. To this day, the origins of both synergy and emergent effects remain mysteries in the sciences, because the idea they are intrinsic to nature is anathema in the hallowed halls, as are countless self-evident truths. Linguists will simply have to categorize all of these self-evident truths in the public domain, often anonymously, and keep throwing them back in academia's face, until they get the point, that they cannot claim to both know the truth, and also ignore and suppress the truth, without someone eventually noticing. Which is one reason I’ve gone to the trouble to include all of the more relevant analog logic I could in this book, because the world ecology can no longer support all the lowbrow slapstick emerging from the ivory towers, and it is obvious humanity is rapidly approaching a turning point, where everything can change in the blink of an eye. Now is the time to prepare, because that’s when academia and the mainstream will both be rudely awakened, with the sudden revelation that meaningful progress is flat out impossible, when nobody can agree upon the definition of stupid, and a quarter of them still insist the sun revolves around the earth.

Individually, the vague words in our poetry can be used to describe the contents of anything, while their collective behavior can be used to describe what’s missing from this picture, with their sing-song dynamics and vague contents harmonizing. The computers are beginning to master fuzzy logic, and it means classic logic can be thought of as already having been mastered well enough at this point, for it to finally be reconciled with the human heart and soul, based on first principles and, of course, the story of Goldilocks. Again, as if we are assembling an enormous jig-saw puzzle that progressively reveals more of the Big Picture in even the smallest pond and stream, or as if reality itself is alive and self-organizing. Half of life appearing to be fated, and the other half random, means the speed of light can also be thought of as expressing the speed limit at which all of our more explicitly causal views become entirely counterproductive, like getting hit with a pie-in-the-face, because the context is determining its own contents, making examining the Big Picture for any self-organizing patterns that might emerge the only remaining analytical alternative. Thanks to everything obeying a scalar architecture, the louder modern science protests the fact that 42 is as good as it gets, the bigger the pies-in-the-face will become, but humanity doesn’t have time for academia to drag this out any longer than necessary, and the sooner instant karma is declared a law of nature the better for everyone.

Everything being self-organizing means everything resembles the initial impetus of the Big Bang still expanding to this day, and awareness itself can be described as self-organizing information. If you throw yourself off a tall building, ironically, your life becomes more fated by choice but, life is not just a joke, and there are limits to how fated or ironic anything can become, and people have survived falling out of airplanes. One man survived being struck by lightning seven times, and searching for a causal explanation as to why he was struck so often is likely a complete waste of time, and even counterproductive, as is joking about his misfortune. Nevertheless, examining his situation for anything low in entropy could still provide a more personally meaningful answer, as might suggesting that he move to the desert. The more random, fated, humble, complex, or extreme any situation may appear to become, the more the greater context of our lives progressively appears to narrow down our choices and even decide issues for us, and the more insightful any observations of anything low in entropy can become. Theoretically, once we have 430 poems extrapolated from the Tao Te Ching, we will have a more complete description for exactly how any metaphors work in conjunction with the explicit categories of classic logic and mathematics.

If knowledge is the only good, its only because ignorance can be bliss, thus, ensuring wonder remains the beginning of all wisdom. Morality, logic, and our conscious thoughts can be described as emerging from our grammar which, in turn, emerges from its proximity to syntax, or vague metaphors for emotional-logic that we use to decide what to ignore, and it is this same indispensable analog fuzzy wuzzy, vaguely fractal factual, broken continuum, flaky glass onion architecture, that applies to logic and causality in general, progressively emerging in prominence, only to mercifully vanish once again into the ignorant bliss and anonymity of total chaos. They say curiosity killed the cat, while half of life is just showing up and knowing what to ignore and, all too often, you really don’t want to know anyway.

To paraphrase Kenny Rogers, "You've got to know when to hold em, know when to fold em, know when to ignore crap, and know when to run!" If nothing else, blissful ignorance is required for any of us to remain individuals, while life is not only stranger than we can imagine, but stranger than anyone really cares to imagine, and both Synchronicity and the Butterfly Effect can be thought of as synonymous with the pseudo metaphysics of “S**t Happens!" S**t happening expresses the dramatic kinetic view of Relativity and classical physics, and can be juxtaposed with Murphy’s Law in quantum mechanics to illustrate how crap always rolls downhill, but only because the most interesting things grow out of manure. The Goldilocks Principle illustrates normalization and syntropy, expressing the pseudo metaphysics of how the greater context or truth can appear to be fated or to humorously or magically determine its own contents, while the Two Faces of Janus, Creative Efficiency and Parsimony, particle-wave duality, synergy and syntropy, or Wu Wei Wu and Chi, demonstrate how the metaphor of Stone Soup, or the pseudo metaphysics of pay it forward suckers, rules even the Goldilocks Principle of Murphy’s Law, the laws of thought and the laws of physics, by default of everything organizing around what’s missing from this picture. The self-evident truth speaks louder than words, as we dance round in a circle and suppose, while the only thing the seven blind men can agree upon is that there is no elephant in the room.

Classic logic says either one of the blind men is correct, and the chicken or the egg came first, or we are missing the Big Picture, but there is nothing in classic logic or physics themselves that so much as suggests that the Big Picture is even remotely humanly conceivable, much less rational, with both implying they only apply to what is finite and humanly observable, not Life, the Universe, and Everything. Self-organizing quantum criticality provides a perspective on how this must work, with a recent experiment confirming that cascade effects, such as a landslide, can be quantized as if each particle were constantly cascading down a mountain and, even when frozen in time in the Quantum Zeno Effect, entangled particles can be considered to express sparkle and humor, and to embody crap rolling downhill. A pebble someone tosses may appear to cause a landslide, but it is synchronizing with all the other rocks that are ready to go, and not nearly as innocent as they might appear to be at first glance. Think of fireflies flashing their lights randomly, while with thousands of fireflies their timing will become more self-organizing by default, and synchronize more often and appear more organic overall, precisely because they are flashing at random in close proximity to each other, increasing their overall complexity, while the more quanta or anything else involved in any single event, the more predictable and noticeably organic appearing their behavior becomes, expressing more emergent effects.

The upshot is that a landslide can be viewed as either fated, or much more dynamic than it might superficially appear to be, before the landslide occurs, and can even sometimes appear to take on a life of its own, while a tossed pebble can more easily appear to cause a landslide when it doesn’t, much like hubcaps appearing to spin backwards on a car moving forward. Physicists sometimes compare this to the cartoon characters of Tom and Jerry chasing each other in circles, until it becomes impossible to say who is chasing whom or even whether the two are still moving. The conscious mind and causality can be said to be based on the simple faith that, against all the evidence, life must make some sort of sense, because it never did make any damned sense to merely assume that nothing makes any damned sense! Ironically, we have no real choice but to cultivate faith in our own awareness and free will, however, that includes our conscious mind more often agreeing with our subconscious that, even if it is just right, and makes all the sense in the world, sometimes you really don’t want to know.

Everything turning out to be vague wishy-washy infantile metaphorical gibberish in the final analysis, still leaves open the issue of how to pragmatically apply any such bullshit Teletubbie technobabble towards promoting greater harmony and creativity. Balance includes deciding for ourselves what is worth studiously ignoring, learning how to cultivate contentment, and how to just say no to ourselves more often, as the first decisive steps towards promoting greater harmony, while the second step is to creatively pay it forward, but not until after you have figured out what is worth ignoring! Its a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World and the laws of physics and the history of the universe telling a paradoxical version of the story of Duck Soup, Goldilocks, and the Tower of Babel erected by the Three Stooges and Dr Strangelove is flat out absurd by any standard, but that’s life in a singularity, so again, get over it already! When the computers start spitting out the complete metaphoric logic, or the complete story of Goldilocks, the whole world will go cross-eyed for decades, if not for generations to come, and many will hide under their desk out of shame, creating a mental health crisis.

There’s simply no delicate way to put it, our universe itself tells the story of Goldilocks Murphy, and how lowbrow slapstick is intrinsic to nature, no matter how wholeheartedly all of humanity might wish life were different. Making a flock of chickens the quintessential example of the simplest possible networking system from a mortal perspective, and my best guess is that the Muppets can do the subject much more justice than I can, and need to make a new movie. But, happy chickens will do one another favors, such as sitting on each other’s eggs to keep them warm. A mathematical study concluded that, at least once in a blue moon, the light bulb comes on and they become self-aware. Chickens have turned out to be smarter and more social than most people give them credit for, but they’re still just dumb birds and, in contrast, a distressed flock of chickens will turn cannibalistic, eating their own eggs and pecking the weakest among them to death, which is mindless reactionary behavior that often overcompensates, and can lead to the flock self-destructing altogether.

Bizarre though it might be to contemplate, a self-destructing flock of chickens can be modeled according to their obeying Monty Carlo statistics and failing to normalize their present in the future, as the flock becomes less aware of the world around them, and live out their elaborate nightmares and fantasies. Theoretically, using these kinds of models, commies could destroy the republican party from the inside, by merely promoting the usual nonsense, and inciting the idiots to rant and rave at the appropriate moments, for the party to implode or explode altogether, as if inciting a riot, while Fox News, Fundamentalist sermons, and the internet continue to shorten the lifespans of conservatives everywhere, and encourage them to work harder and reproduce less often, and blame the rest of the world for all of their problems. The fly in the ointment of that commie fantasy is that, what comes around goes around, and communists organize like chickens as well! Of course, neither republicans nor commies will admit they organize like brainless chickens and, to a significant extent, will believe whatever any damned fool repeats often enough.

Even on a good day, thinking is just never a chicken’s strength, while their anger prevents them from overthinking anything and, more often, collectively running pointlessly in circles. The angrier, more indignant, and sarcastic a flock becomes the less easy it becomes to startle them badly, the more attention they pay to each other, the less they worry about the sky falling, and the more they rely upon their collective memories and conventional wisdom which, of course, obey the more error prone Monty Carlo statistics of Bullshit Fuzzy Logic. Producing the governor or regulator effect of a default self-organizing system that resembles inertia, or falling on your butt and, additionally, it resembles how the cells of our bodies organize by default and how we progressively focus our awareness, by actively suspending our disbelief, and suppressing whatever it is we wish to ignore.

The speed of light expresses this same default memory-centric, Never-ending Armageddon, brute force Three Stooges regulatory feedback mechanism, frequently compared to crap following you around on the horizon, which can also be described as the speed of life and awareness itself, where without reliable memories that are neither too hot nor too cold, too fast nor too slow, too big nor too small, everything is Deja Vu all over again! Every context must have a significant amount of content and, vice versa, each and every meager piece of content requires a greater context, or the two will transform into one another, while the speed of light represents the limit for how fast any content can noticeably increase. To an outside observer, the spaceship would seem to encounter friction the faster they accelerate, but a spaceship approaching the speed of light possess too much content, including information, and the universe can’t contain it, and its contents become progressively indistinguishable from the universe until it explodes, ensuring that the whole always remains greater than any mere sum of parts. The Quantum Zeno Effect illustrates the opposite, where instead of becoming hotter and requiring more energy to accelerate, the slightest environmental disturbance can cause the collapse of the wave-function, and the greater context appears to magically determine the identity of its own contents.

The more energy we use to accelerate a rocket, the more accurate a measure it becomes of the rocket’s contents, like a scale that becomes more accurate the heavier anything is that you weigh, while the Quantum Zeno Effect is the opposite, and instead of a more accurate measurement of content, it provides a more precise measurement of the greater context, or space-time itself. If our universe is comparable to a pot of boiling water, the speed of light is where the water transforms into steam, while if our universe is comparable to a giant FM stereo, the speed of light is where the noise overwhelms the signal, and fries your expensive amplifier, but what remains the same for any interpretation you might prefer, is that both time and the horizon itself become less meaningful as anything approaches either the speed of light or a black hole. Ensuring that everything still has a temperature, inertia, and a story to tell, however, the story becomes progressively less intelligible for any metaphysical extreme, whether it be a spaceship approaching the speed of light or a black hole, while at the speed of light, photons convey the story with perfect fidelity and efficiency, because the context and its contents express more of their particle-wave duality from our perspective. Inertia constantly struggles to ignore gravity, dragging the past into the present, but the stronger the gravitational field or the greater our forward momentum, the harder it becomes to change direction, and the more vague and downright self-contradictory space-time and the rest of the universe become for each observer, as their shape becomes distorted and their temperature increases until they explode like fireworks!

The past is largely composed of content that can only influence the greater context of the future up to a certain point, before the two conflate their identities, and even the accuracy and precision of our measurements changes across vast scales and magnitudes. The present is where the two combine, with the result that everything inevitably displays both causal and self-organizing behavior. An easy way to conceptualize time is to think of the expansion of the universe as slowly evolving towards perfect harmony or synergy. Beethoven is a good example, with the last five notes of his pieces progressively resolving the complex symmetry of each score, thus, expressing the five fold symmetry of a Fractal Dragon pattern, that expresses the same kind of beauty we can easily observe in the natural world all around us. We can appreciate the symmetry of the causal evolution of the song, but it is the last five notes that progressively drive home the overall harmony of the piece. The silent spaces between the notes can be considered its magic or greater truth that unconditionally lends all of the notes meaning, and transcends space and time, ensuring the song remains the same while, simultaneously, evolving ever greater harmony.

Modern music theory emphasizes how the silence between the notes can express any number of different emotions, such as suspense, and its certainly possible to think of a song as evolving, like the universe around us, but the overall harmony and magic of the multiverse is the self-evident truth which transcends both space and time, making knowledge and awareness both acquired and intrinsic, causal and magically self-organizing. Our knowledge can transform into awareness and vice versa, and our knowledge can seem explicit and causal, while our awareness appears to be more vaguely self-organizing and magical, and one without the other remains a contradiction. Time is neither created nor destroyed, and even bringing time to a complete halt, in the case of the Quantum Zeno Effect, time is merely translated into energy and information. The knowledge that entangled particles do not change in any way whatsoever, is conveyed without requiring any energy, and can be said to reflect the fact quanta almost never stop moving and changing.

Acceleration requires space-time to become progressively hotter, more relative, and indeterminate, until it explodes in a manner reminiscent of the Big Bang. Which, in spite of the name, was a rather modest explosion, as if God had actually farted or a butterfly was looking to stir up trouble, and the whole affair was inflated totally out of proportion by astronomers and the mass media, who frequently insist that six inches is a foot and, then, stick their foot in their mouth to prove it. The sky is not falling, and this same effect of apparently reproducing the Big Bang in miniature can be seen in a black hole, which eventually produces a small explosion when it finally loses enough mass to disintegrate entirely, and can be seen in something like the Strong Force responsible for the chain reaction in nuclear weapons, and the Weak Force responsible for radioactive decay. All the forces should express the cascade effects of quantum criticality repeated over different scales and magnitudes, and should obey the Golden Ratio and resemble the four states of matter and the Four Seasons, all sharing a quasi fifth force of nature and higher dimensional geometry.

The Quantum Zeno Effect, for example, can be compared to fire and ice, summer and winter, simultaneously frozen yet expressing a temperature, while the gravity and inertia of a black hole resemble liquid and gas and its event horizon resembles a frozen solid, or again, a flaming Popsicle. Giant black holes express even greater self-organization, normally possessing enormous jets of plasma at the poles, and an electromagnetic torus around the equator feeding them, while such giants typically inhabit the center of galaxies and are so large that the collection of hundreds of billions of stars around them can be tiny in comparison and, in general, the identity of everything, such as the Dark Matter believed to circle galaxies, becomes increasingly vague the further away you look from the black hole. The black hole resembles a Flaming Popsicle, or Black Hole Sun, that obscures our ability to see what is happening in its immediate vicinity, while the further away we look from the black hole the more vague the identity of everything we can observe becomes, as if our acceleration and proximity to the black hole is the ultimate reference point for space-time in the Milky Way, and the ultimate spatial reference for reality as we know it, if you want to call it that. Behind an open door, there lies a million more, and gravity remains the source of lightness when you realize what’s missing from this picture can be indispensable.

Just as the speed of light expresses the default for how fast anything can move in three dimensions, giant black holes should express the limits for how fast massive bodies can grow, with the torus around their equator and plasma jets at the poles being emergent effects that help to regulate how fast they normally grow, and possibly providing an explanation for Dark Matter as Quasi Matter, which is possibly another default emergent effect expressed across vast scales and magnitudes, and requires statistical analysis of low entropy results. Both individually and collectively, we can observe motion and the growth of massive bodies displaying both unity and diversity, syntropy and entropy which, in turn, display emergent effects over vast scales and magnitudes. Axions are the newest theoretical particle proposed to explain Dark Matter, and are incredibly tiny particles with enormous masses, as if they barely manifest in our three dimensions, but exert a disproportionate influence on massive bodies in four dimensions, with the theory suggesting axions clump like molecules in a cold gas, as if huddling for warmth and attempting to make up for their tiny size. Chicken peeps will sometime crush the ones in the middle, when they huddle for warmth.

Another theory has proposed that Dark Energy and Dark Matter are composed of a fluid, as if the theorists are running out of analogies they can make. In the vicinity of a black hole, if space-time itself starts to spontaneously behave more like matter, it would make a great deal of sense as to why we’ve struggled to identify Dark Matter, since nobody has a clue as to exactly what space-time is either, and it behaves like both an empty vacuum and a gas. Physicists have gone from theories of life forces, to Caloric fluids, to theories of billiard balls, to theories of the aether, then theories of rubber sheets, and now theories of the Elysian Fields of Dreams and chasing colorful balls of yarn, but all of the leading theories today incorporate yin-yang push-pull dynamics, implying what’s missing from this picture is much more essential than any of their theories have accounted for.

Intriguingly, giant black holes appear to eject anti-matter both above and below the galactic plane, providing a sort of ablative protective shield around the entire galaxy, like something straight out of Star Trek, that makes any force field sound wimpy in comparison, instantly converting any matter it comes in contact with into raw energy. And, providing a glimpse of how their humble-yet-complex symmetries transform into one another in a progressively self-organizing manner that is more organic in appearance the larger a black hole becomes, the larger its accretion disk, and the further away you look from the center. Normally, the lower our mass and the slower we accelerate relative to anything in our local environment, the more continuous the passage of time appears to become, but the illusion of time merely being a predictable machine falls apart the faster we accelerate, the colder the temperature, the higher our mass, or the more extreme the scale, magnitude, or juxtaposition in general. The larger any context, the more vague our perspective becomes, but also the more organic, and there remain clear fractal patterns resembling the vague and explicit results of particle-wave duality, repeating in rudimentary ways across vast scales and magnitudes.

The horizon effect of Relativity can be described as reflecting our own mortal fallibility and how everything, including the passage of time and the horizon itself, inevitably becomes self-organizing by default, due to balance always being restored whenever harmony is lost. The causal universe imposes balance, but in an apparently random statistical fashion that always remains context dependent. A context without any significant content being a humanly incomprehensible contradiction, time and time again, the issue of time crops up yet again, because time is never what you think it is, until that time rolls round again, empowering time to be treated as synonymous with the unfolding self-evident truth and, simultaneously, what’s missing from this picture… The old adage is, “Out of the mouths of babes” which is when we clearly no longer make distinctions between who we are and what we are doing, and our humble efficiency can transform into creativity, expressing ineffable Chi and Wu Wei Wu in our greater authenticity, as we dance delightfully betwixt invisible moonbeams, in perfect harmony with the entire universe, while others may insist we have completely lost our minds or, in Yogi Berra’s case, are obviously from another planet altogether!

The conscious mind can be thought of as resembling our infantile subconscious playing a game of sock-puppet-peek-a-boo, and pretending that everything must make sense, just as a small child might incessantly play with dolls, attempting to figure out who they want to be when they grow up. However, with the spectacular exception that, frequently unbeknownst to our conscious mind, our subconscious relies heavily on quantum mechanics, pattern matching, and simple Monty Carlo statistics to make its own choices, just like on Let’s Make a Deal, and can support any logic or reasoning that allows it to use Monty Carlo statistics for making decisions. To quote Mork from Ork, “Reality, what a concept!” Sometimes, I swear, you can see the gears moving in people’s heads and, in a very real sense, we normally experience two realities simultaneously, with our conscious mind arguing there can be Only One Reality, and our subconscious mind laughing.

In contrast, academic descriptions of reality tend to be highly abstract and, ironically, claim that abstractions are never real, when it is obvious that reality and abstractions are constantly transforming into one another and, unless you happen to be a chicken, using abstractions remains a very real and indispensable part of life. The wheel was just another abstraction, until some damned fool decided everybody could commute to work, while there are too many possible realities I can think of that I’d rather remain vague abstractions, which wouldn’t be a problem, except the two are constantly transforming into one another! Whenever our conscious and unconscious minds just so happen to get along and work in harmony, in addition to agreeing upon what is reality for a change, at such times our assertive conscious mind expresses the gentle flow of Chi, while the more receptive subconscious expresses Wu Wei Wu. Nothing from nothing ain’t nothing, so somebody has to lead, but the more cues you can take from your dance partner the better. Of course, our conscious and subconscious frequently attempt to tell each other what to do but, regardless of any rationalizations, the central issue remains as to how to promote them working together in the most efficient, harmonious, creative, and agreeable manner possible, taking cues from each other instead of fighting more often. The answer appears to be that adults frequently need to go back to kindergarten, and learn how to laugh at themselves as if they didn’t have a care in the world, but modern linguistics, sociology, neurology, and immunology may soon find different solutions because, without its saving graces, life as we know it would be impossible.

Nonjudgmental humor is widely embraced and can be attractive and even infectious, expressing the gentle side of humor that promotes greater harmony, authenticity, and acceptance. In physical terms, loving humor can be compared to quantum entanglement and the ground state of the expanding universe, the lowest possible energy state capable of leaping into any higher energy state faster, like a sleeping baby! With humor soliciting creative change, and anger enforcing maintaining some sort of status quo, and what is tasteful remaining subjective. Where the Wild Things Are, Big Bird is not an evil commie plot, while Barney the Dinosaur could be one, but nobody has made a credible accusation, nonetheless, what I say once, twice, three times is true, which is why I promise this, that, and the other thing! Reality being stranger than fiction, upon rare occasions, the innocent hesitant fluttering about of a butterfly upon a beautiful summer’s day, may inadvertently ripple outward from the calm quiet center, of an otherwise typical, lazy, tropical high pressure cell, expanding upward into the atmosphere, and becoming magnified within the warm moist breeze and, for most practical purposes, everything can be considered self-organizing, including natural disasters, flatulence, and our own knowledge, awareness, ignorance, bullshit, and jokes that should never be repeated!

Other than insisting everything must be either true or false, classic logic has nothing to say about pounding your head against the nearest wall, while bullshit fuzzy logic insists that’s just no way to be creative, much less to pay it forward, and everything must work out for the universe as a whole, if not for you personally, but its all good until somebody says its not. Adopting the concepts of Chi and Wu Wei Wu empowers us to use more intuitive and humorous pattern matching to decide when any logic is more or less applicable, to examine the Big Picture from any number of different perspectives, and to even systematically apply statistics and modifications to the principle of the excluded middle. Deja Vu is that familiar sinking feeling that time is never quite what you think it is, until that time rolls round again, and there is novelty in even the most mundane, predictable, repetitious, or fated appearing events and, sometimes, you really just don’t want to know. Similarly, the brain works like a phase transition, doing a staggered drunkard’s walk between order and chaos, making it resemble a crock pot, but a quantum mechanical one that can crunch all the numbers with 125% efficiency. The microtubules, or white matter connecting all of our neurons, have proven to routinely utilize multiple levels of quantum processing as the more efficient steps to try first and, again, whether your brain is attempting to be more efficient or creative, humble or elegant, just depends on who you ask, because it is expressing greater creativity in its outrageous humble efficiency, or Wu Wei Wu and Chi.

This is an extension of Noether’s Theorem and the Conservation Laws, that everything displays a Conservation of Creative Efficiency, Elegant Simplicity, and Parsimonious Complexity which promote synergy or Creative Harmony which, in turn, neither act nor reason and are self-assembling and self-organizing, simultaneously expressing both quasi fourth dimensional spatial influences, such as gravity, and quasi forces such as virtual particles. Over the last few decades a number of experiments have indicated the possible existence of more than one fifth force of nature, while other experiments have implied the possible existence of an assortment of different particles, which would each indicate new physics, however, with none of these experiments producing any conclusive results, and all of these vague cloying results, collectively hinting they are manifestations of Creative Harmony or synergy, or hints of an infinite regression in the principle of identity that Quantum Field Theory simply cannot account for, and which can only be reconciled by collating low entropy results, such as these, and by examining the Big Picture for negative probabilities.

Feynman’s Elysian Fields of Dreams ain’t nothing but a mud hole, if nobody can ever measure the damned thing and it cannot account for all of our observations, while the physics community has yet to declare anyone a divine prophet. If Feynman was a divine profit, the latest experiments suggest QCD is based on a convenient fiction, and protons don't squeeze their shape in order to escape the nucleus and, similarly, virtual particles have been documented as responsible for the weak force. Fourth dimensional influences, such as the forces of nature, normally manifest as simultaneously existent and nonexistent, just like our own shadows, while the more ordinary three dimensional manifestations of matter that we perceive can be compared to reflections in fun house mirrors. Massive bodies display both three dimensional reflections, and the properties of fourth dimensional quasi particles that are more background dependent like our own shadows, expressing both syntropy and entropy. Lost in the vast empty depths of intergalactic space, the inertia and electromagnetism of a photon and the gravity of a black hole have little meaning, and neither does space or time, just as a shadow has little demonstrable meaning in a dark room. The exact identities of the forces of nature remain context dependent and, from the other side of the universe, electromagnetism becomes indistinguishable from any of the other forces, blending into gravity and the cosmic microwave background, as if begging the question of whether they represent random energy or space-time or, if you happen to be a believer, Rubber Sheets, Elysian Fields of Dreams, Ping Pong Balls, or whatever.

At any given time, half of everything observable should prove to be background or context dependent, with things like black holes and photons merely representing more obviously extreme background dependent entities than the normal matter and other types of energy we encounter. Crap rolling downhill appears to be more substantial than sunlight, in part, because photons are simply more background dependent for their identity to begin with, which is also why they are often described as magical in comparison to crap rolling downhill. Having no rest mass themselves makes photons that much more context dependent for any clear identity and, in the vast empty depths of space, photons and black holes alike barely interact with the universe, existing simultaneously as both vague abstractions and concrete physical realities. And, as a result of being so background dependent, photons can be viewed in a wide variety of situations as merely conveying either energy or information, while massive bodies clearly display the Two Faces of Janus as both energy and information, in almost any situation.

Certainly, every massive body has its own independent mass, inertia, and temperature, but these are all egalitarian properties, that apply to everything equally, as if every massive body were borrowing their gravity from a common pool in the forth dimension. In saying nothing, a black hole’s event horizon and the anonymity of photons both imply the self-evident truth that everything is ultimately context dependent for their identity, and the only way to resolve the issue is to statistically examine the Big Picture for low entropy results. Due to the paradox of existence, or particle-wave duality, any inferences must become deductions, and vice versa, while rest mass displays the Two Faces of Janus where the observer must decide for themselves what is energy and what is information, what is three or four dimensional, depending upon the context. We have little choice, but to interpret the light of the stars shinning down upon us as merely data, despite it consisting of billions of photons all hitting our eyes, while we also have little choice but to consider a single meteor hitting someone as simultaneously conveying a wealth of both energy and information (Duck!) Radiant heat increases as we accelerate towards the speed of light, while time dilates implying the signal to noise ratio changes dramatically around the lowest possible energy state of the system, and Information theory combined with Game theory should be able to describe phase transitions and metamorphic effects as subsets of emotional-logic.

These can all be thought of as expressing one and the same metaphorical self-organizing system, in which for any particular s**t to happen, it must also be capable of not happening, causing order to be the price of too much chaos, while too much order leads to chaos in the form of things like black holes, and the hydrogen fusion powering the stars. However, as I mentioned before, the systems logic they obey also resembles modern music theory, where the silence between the notes can be considered the magical source of existence, or the greater truth that lends every note meaning. Organic life strikes a dynamic balance between any apparent chaos and order, that’s just right for life as we know it to make any damned sense whatsoever and, of course, where you draw the line between organic and inorganic remains context dependent.

A bear mite was discovered frozen in the Antarctic ice for a million years, and started jumping around when they thawed it, begging the question of when anything is dead or alive, and what are the scales and magnitudes involved. Quantum entanglement can be considered the most harmonious and magical state of all, increasing in strength factorially according to the number of particles, making them that much more creative and efficient the more humble they collectively become, and the more humble their immediate environment. And, implying that the greater context, or the more sweeping truth, always determines the identity of its own contents or as Allan Watts put it so dramatically, “God is playing peek-a-boo”.

Every observer is equally privileged in a singularity, thank you very much, where everywhere you go, there you are, and everything is always two steps forward and one back, while each observer must also decide for themselves whether they are actually getting anywhere! Utilizing vague sweeping differentials, Bullshit Fuzzy Logic supplies endless hints as to which way the wind blows in a magical metaphorical and allegorical Goldilocks universe, Lost in Space, somewhere in the Twilight Zone, where the surprises really are never-ending, because the minute you think you know exactly what the hell you are doing, you are wrong, and if you don’t know where you’re going, you are already there! Pretending to be grown up and know what she was doing, while convincing herself that nobody would mind, as one justification led to another, Goldilocks’ thoughts, emotions, and awareness became self-organizing, like a self-fulfilling prophecy! Life itself can be considered mother nature’s gift to us all, but one which presents the double-edged Sword of Damocles whenever we look a gift horse in the mouth.

Not content to catch a glimpse of the inside of the house through the open door, Goldilocks entertained her own bullshit, convincing herself it must be a real estate open house, and walked right through the inviting open door. (Ooooh Shiny!) Classic logic implies it is better to ignore whatever doesn’t make sense, while bullshit fuzzy logic implies anything low in content presents Occam’s Razor which, for better or for worse, can express Synchronicity and the Butterfly Effect, more often resembling a Charlie Chaplin movie reel than would be the case in a strictly causal metaphysical universe. Her own intuition warned her that the open door was an invitation to disaster, because lowbrow slapstick is intrinsic to nature. Our needs and desires can humorously transform into one another, expressing greater self-organization within the Rainbow Spectrum of Needs and Desires, but knowing how everything becomes self-organizing on global scales can be enormously helpful for putting everything in context, with both entangled quanta and the fundamental forces of nature expressing self-organizing behavior, right along with people’s tendency to organize like chickens.

Just between you and me, gravity keeps me grounded, while inertia is another personal need of mine, which I require in order to get anywhere in life and to stay grounded, but inertia might as well be one dimensional for all practical purposes, making its identity so vague its even somewhat debatable whether centrifugal force is merely inertia, or another force altogether. In contrast, Gravity appears to require four dimensions, while the two forces combined produce only humble shapes such as spheres, whirlpools, donuts, and coffee cups. Neediness is just not very creative, and the more momentum or gravitational mass anything acquires, the more needy it becomes until it finally self-destructs, while electromagnetism expresses a more desirable give-and-take which introduces the vast majority of the wild diversity of shapes observable throughout nature, and helps to prevent everything from going down the toilet all at once, or merely scattering in every direction. Unlike gravity and inertia which emanate from the center of any massive body, electrons and protons have distinctive sizes and other properties, as if they are more emancipated three dimensional manifestations of the same needy forces they represent. Resulting in their combination producing more complex three dimensional shapes and dynamics but, also note that gravity, inertia, and electromagnetism can all be described as expressing rudimentary actions and exaggerated dimensions, or as macroscopic manifestations of quantum eigenstates.

Protons and neutrons are tiny, heavy, and are made up of quarks and gluons, while electrons are giant soap bubbles in comparison, with no known constituent parts and extremely humble identities despite their larger size, as if the two represented "The Odd Couple" and making electrons resemble gravity more than inertia. Just as gravity appears to magically embrace everything and dance effortlessly with inertia, electrons seem to go everywhere dancing with protons, photons, and each other whenever possible, but in more complex ways that tend to resemble a river flowing, due to even humble electrons having significantly more distinctive identities than either gravity or inertia. If electrons tend to flow like a river and perform line dances, protons and neutrons are the heavier rocks in the river bed that they tap dance over, possibly expressing Adrian Bejan’s flaky architecture performing a Drunkard’s Walk.

Water itself has similar dynamics, with its constituent atoms being so loosely bound that each water molecule can change shape billions of times per second, allowing water to easily flow over rocks, like Fred Ester and Micheal Jackson, and implying that nothing can ever be too hard or too soft. A recent study of fluid dynamics discovered that fluctuations in local density can induce long range forces in a phase transition, and that Boyle’s law needs to be modified to account for the specific local configurations of particles which can either promote or suppress quantum fluctuations and cascade effects. The collective motions and specific configurations of quanta appear to make a difference in Boyle’s law, making even Boyle’s Law increasingly context dependent, and significant progress has also been made in describing turbulence with the Navier-Stokes equations, and the recent discovery of the aharmonic stochastic resonance should all help to clarify the situation, but only when reconciled with discoveries such as “Swirlonics” that display emergent effects that defy classical physics on even macroscopic scales, which countless physicists today still insist is impossible, despite a century of both experimental evidence and their own mathematics indicating that Newton was wrong, and they need to take dance lessons and, "Get Over It Already!" The temperature and the impact of the collective behavior of quanta or anything else becomes progressively more context dependent, explaining all the order we perceive as capable of being interpreted as a statistical phenomenon and implying abstract statistics must prove capable of demonstrably transforming into tangible mechanics, and incorporating negative probabilities, such as falling on your butt.

In contrast, photons are considered to have no rest mass, since photons are busy-back-soon types and nobody has ever observed a photon resting. They convey energy and information with the greatest efficiency and fidelity possible while, according to Einstein, gravity doesn’t actually do anything, merely providing the shortest distance between two points, and allowing inertia to do all the real work. In doing nothing, gravity merely does its own thing, empowering inertia to do everything else, and making the combination of gravity and inertia in massive bodies unbelievably consistent, reliable, humble, and efficient, but much less gregarious, outgoing, and creative than notably less humble and efficient electromagnetism.

One pair appears to trade their personal identity for greater efficiency, while the other pair trades humble efficiency for greater creativity, but in an incremental or quantized fashion that dramatically increases their combined complexity, and revolves around thermodynamics and what’s missing from this picture. Indicating that Feynman diagrams can be extrapolated to tell the story of Goldilocks and the fundamental forces, based on the Conservation of Creative Efficiency. Classic logic is exclusive, attempting to ignore the excluded middle, or anything else that doesn’t support classic logic, while Feynman diagrams illustrate how, depending on the context, the excluded middle becomes essential for grasping more of the Big Picture, and revealing more of the juicy details of the final reckoning of Goldilocks. Our abstractions start to become physical realities for us when we make them a part of our awareness, and we must always pretend to some extent that anything in particular is merely an abstraction or a concrete reality, with the physical evidence already establishing that our explicit thoughts emerge from our vague emotions. We might stub our toe, for example, not because we didn’t know the chair was real and in the way, but because our subconscious mind was treating the chair as merely an abstraction, by treating everything as a variable and going on autopilot. We often do things unconsciously or merely out of habit, due to our conscious and unconscious minds constantly exchanging identities as we shift our focus of attention, and having totally different priorities and agendas, including attempting to decide who’s in charge around here. As if the human psyche and soul itself resembles the Two Faces of Janus, implying four rudimentary ways they interact. Eight caricatures are easier to work with for models, and the average tribal group consisted of seven adults, suggesting they could collectively crunch the numbers for any issues even unconsciously, sometimes over years, without ever deliberately attempting to solve any problems.

Just as gravity appears to express Wu Wei Wu, electromagnetism expresses more assertive and creative Chi, or the undetectable flow within the empty void, that ensures the most interesting things always grow out of manure, which is how I’m told organic chemistry was invented. Being the more assertive of the two, electromagnetism manifests more random and novel appearing shapes, while gravity and inertia are more fatalistic and repetitious, resembling classical physics more, and this same pattern of rudimentary combinations of syntropy and entropy, changing along with the context, extends to the Strong and Weak Nuclear forces as well, with each individually expressing self-organization, and all four combined expressing even greater self-organization, or the wave-function of quantum mechanics. Gravity and inertia’s greater Creative Efficiency can be imagined as supporting the existence of electromagnetism, which supports the weak and strong nuclear forces, implying all of the forces can be unified in such a way as to describe how self-organization becomes more or less causal from the individual observer’s point of view, with energy and topology, space and time, exchanging identities.

The overall dynamics of the forces are as rudimentary as it gets, describing both an explosion and an implosion with, for example, gravity attempting to implode the entire universe, even as gravity waves explode in every direction, and combined all four forces reflect a spectrum of nonsensical imploding-explosions, of different scales and magnitudes, that resemble a black hole simultaneously being a hole in space, or a Black Hole Sun. The fact they resemble both forces and geometric effects explains why fuzzy logic and quantum mechanics appear to apply to everything in existence. Each force incrementally trading off their individual identities for greater Creative Efficiency, implies that nobody will ever be able to prove whether the Strong Force is actually stronger than gravity, because the two can be considered to express particle-wave duality, or opposing views of the universe as ultimately random or fated, finite or infinite, having a causal origin in the Big Bang or, conversely, Dark Energy making the universe eternal and never-ending. All of the forces can be equally well described as distinctive rudimentary perspectives of one and the same nonsensical four fold imploding-explosion, or quantum eigenstate that expresses both Wu Wei Wu and Chi, with gravity attempting to implode more, while the Strong Force explodes more, yet all the forces combined are just right.

Instead of merely four forces in nature, Chi introduces a quasi fifth force responsible for things like virtual particles, and Wu Wei Wu accounts for quasi forth dimensional geometric effects such as gravity. Gravity is more syntropic, or fatalistic, while inertia is more creative and synergistic, as if synergy and syntropy are “indivisible complimentary-opposites” like up and down. Physicists have been attempting to unify all the forces into one superforce, and that superforce appears to be the self-organization of everything in the universe around what’s missing from this picture, inspiring a Rainbow Spectrum of Needs and Desires that expresses four rudimentary phase transitions and four rudimentary metamorphic effects, or Four Seasons. All of which can be considered distinctive overlapping views of one and the same self-organizing system that expresses Chi and Wu Wei Wu, where time is never what you think it is, until that time rolls round again, but it always has a temperature and a story to tell, and can never be too fast or too slow, too local or too nonlocal, abstract or concrete.

The whole eternally greater than any mere sum of parts, and everything being self-organizing including time itself, means the sum total of humanity’s technology, knowledge, awareness, energy, needs, and desires must also converge periodically within the singularity. Rapidly becoming more self-organizing, and expressing dramatic emergent effects, as if humanity and reality itself were undergoing a metamorphic transformation. Our turbulent times can be described as expressing the turbulence of a phase transition such as a pot of water coming to a boil, and can also resemble metamorphic effects similar to puberty, with the increased frequency of the two hinting that time is flowing backwards to normalize an extreme, and humanity is confronting an enormous pie-in-the-face coming our way, Childhood's End, when the-meek-shall-inherit-the-earth. Information itself can be described as sometimes taking on a life of its own, and the same parts of the brain used for language, abstract thought, music, vision, and aesthetic appreciation are also used for tools. If life is a giant puzzle, it appears to be largely self-assembling and any tools we develop can merely hinder or promote the ubiquitous self-assembly process to a limited extent, and issue remains how efficiently and creatively you assemble the puzzle, in order to pay it forward.

Many have debated the “Great Man” theory that advances are made by great individuals and, you could say, life is obviously like a garden, which is self-organizing to a great extent, but in at least four dimensions, making it helpful to know a little something about gardening, and put in the required effort, while the garden and gardener either evolve together, or the gardener becomes extinct. Among other things, this might explain some of the recent anomalies discovered in human evolution, which appears to have possibly taken a leap in the last six thousand years. The latest evidence suggests, to me at least, that our genome and epigenome could possibly form their own particle-wave duality, exchanging roles at times, and accelerating the pace of evolution. With evolution merely being one of the more obvious manifestations of how everything is actually self-organizing and, by default, self-assembling to a significant extent, both individually and collectively, in four or more dimensions.

The I-Ching describes this transformation as, “The Turning Point” and Rainbow Warrior poetry refers to it as, “Childhood’s End”, with every Rainbow Warrior I know agreeing that Arthur C. Clark was a visionary, if for no other reason, then because puberty sucks, and it helps to know its coming. Emerging from their cocoons, caterpillars metamorphose into butterflies, but it sucks being stuck inside the cocoon while your body changes drastically, and whether we wish to view life as a means to an end or an end to a means determines the outcome, as every means becomes an end unto itself and every end becomes just another means leading to new conclusions. Physicists don’t normally compare phase transitions to puberty or social transformations, and a more traditional view of energy is that it is neither created nor destroyed, it just gets around, but metaethics ruling the universe implies that, in and of themselves, energy and information must always express creativity, constantly expressing both novel and self-organizing patterns of behavior that repeat across vast scales and magnitudes, while there is no reason neurologists cannot eventually quantify and measure how novel we find anything and compare it against the lowest possible energy state of the brain.

Gravity, for example, expresses novel effortless-action-at-a-distance and inertia a novel 100% efficiency moving through a vacuum, while gravity and inertia combined are self-organizing and tend to work out their differences for extended periods of time, as if expressing distinctive states of matter, the stages of life, or the Four Seasons of the year. My baby sister inherited our father’s cheerful competitive streak, so my other sisters and I taught her how to read, write, add, subtract, multiply, divide, and had her up to fractions before she went to kindergarten and, one day, I was carrying her on my shoulders and teaching her stellar evolution when she bent over my head, looked me in the eye, and said, “I’m only five years old damn it!” Nevertheless, stellar evolution has often been compared to an ecosystem with distinctive life cycles, and technology will theoretically make it possible to turn our solar system into a garden of sorts. Without anybody ever having to believe in morphogenic fields or whatever, it can still make perfect sense to think of our planet earth, solar system, and galaxy as living organisms that form an ecology, essentially no different from how a biologist might view a virus as only being useful to think of as alive in specific contexts.

My sister prefers breeding dogs to gardening, and I never believed for a second that anything I was teaching her was ever too hard for her, or that she wasn’t spoiled rotten and encouraged to be a kid. However, using Information and Game theory it should be possible to model everything that exists as true, false, and Indeterminate making simple metaphors and wave mechanics outrageously easier to work with and much more helpful, if you have the right collection of metaphors, that a five year old like my baby sister can appreciate. Using differentials for what’s missing from this picture, we can then rapidly and efficiently determine which causal integrals might be relevant in any given situation, and expand upon Feynman diagrams in every way imaginable, including designing analog chips that can replace Feynman diagrams, and incorporate VR applications. Everything revolving around what’s missing from this picture provides the only real reference point, if you want to call it that, but at least it can be considered symmetrical for all practical purposes, and it means life must be every bit as simple as it is complex, while modern science is about to take technological complexity to absurd new heights, resulting in a simple-but-enormous humble-pie-in-the-face from Goldilocks-Murphy! Harmony neither acts nor reasons, and can be said to dwell more fully within the present moment, empowering Chi and Wu Wei Wu to express yin and yang, creatively promoting harmony while, simultaneously, imposing balance.

Symmetries of Wu Wei Wu and Chi can be juxtaposed, for any humble and elegant simplicity, in order to provide clues as to how to assemble more pieces of the Big Picture, and make a variety of unique predictions. A minor example is that, thanks to decades of study and practice, I can skim dozens of pages of technical papers without ever reading a word, and point out exactly where they make logic errors and assumptions, just by looking at the shapes of the paragraphs they write. In fact, I can tell you something about the author as well and if they have written anything of significant interest to me, just by looking at the shapes of their paragraphs and reading the title and first paragraph, because I’m merely looking for what’s missing from this picture, which is typically what every author attempts to avoid.

By merely examining the silhouette of each paragraph I can tell something about what it says and who wrote it, and most authors express different types of Fractal Dragon equations, some pretty and some pretty ugly, with Mandelbrot patterns supporting every Fractal Dragon, but usually much harder to see and usually more interesting when you can. Technical papers are great for this, being so highly structured makes the shapes stand out clearly, and it can save hours and days of research, empowering me to casually dismiss countless boring research papers as useless to me, or to find exactly what I’m looking for, without ever reading a word other than the title and maybe the first paragraph. My ability also empowers me to edit our poetry 10-20x faster than the average person and to search through databases like a biological computer but, sometimes, I can’t even look at foreign languages that I don’t know how to read, because whatever the author wrote messes with my analog logic.

As bizarre as that might sound, the distinctive shapes of our poems appear in any language you write them in, because they are intrinsic to nature and our poems can be said to express nature’s own mathematics, geometry, and language, that Wittgenstein only wished he knew. No matter how synthetic a language might be, such as Esperanto, its sounds and written form must still conform to the laws of nature, and express yin-yang dynamics, or particle-wave duality. Of course, there are countless idiots who are lucky if they know how to use a dictionary, but still insist I’m nuts, while academics kick me off their websites and urge congress to censor the internet and classify jokes older than monuments. For centuries, the Chinese lagged behind the rest of the world in adopting the use of zero in their mathematics, considering the symbol for zero to be a joke synonymous with bullshit, because shapes convey much more meaning in their written language, which attempts to imitate nature more closely. No matter how hard anyone might attempt to redefine the symbol for zero as something different, it will always identify itself as “meaningless bullshit” by inducing the quasi hallucination of Caspar-the-Ghost cartoon figures, and humor can be said to be intrinsic to both geometry and nature.

In comparison, English is famous for engineering, Urdu is widely considered the most poetic language in the world, German is considered the best for the sciences today, while Asian and primitive languages are better for fuzzy logic and quantum mechanics. Theoretically, once we have the complete mathematics we can design languages to take full advantage of them, and these should eventually make Esperanto a dead synthetic language of only historical note. The Indian Vidas are along the lines of the elegant calculus of fuzzy logic, while what I do resembles the more humble algebra that makes calculus possible. In the future, languages that incorporate more fuzzy logic will empower people to quickly and easily search for what’s missing from this picture, before “zeroing in” on any specific content and, sometimes, they might resemble an updated version of ancient Chinese which has no verb “To Be” and, of course, should prove ideal for telling the untold story of Goldilocks as an adult comedy-drama. For the widest possible range of applications, such a language might possess four overlapping modes of use, including one for classic logic.

Language itself reflects the self-organization of our subconscious mind and brain and, just as importantly, the more subtle a sense of humor that such languages support, the greater their advantage in predicting any punch lines, and staying two steps ahead of the competition, and the more the language itself becomes a form of cryptography and a form of computer programming designed for speed and efficiency. The first computer system capable of writing almost any program is being constructed, and computers will soon be competing for which is the fastest and most efficient at writing programs, requiring their hardware and software incorporate more analog logic. Asians and the Chinese in particular are famous for often being inscrutable, even when they are just being themselves or trying to be anything but inscrutable, and they are also famous for their uniquely creative business strategies, nobody else sees coming. Sometimes people ask me how to comprehend the Chinese, and I tell them to consider Jackie Chan their unofficial ambassador to the West, who speaks fluent "Bullshit Kung Fu".

Among the more compelling immediate applications, for these same bullshit mathematics and linguistics, is automating databases, designing AI, and automating the I-Ching, which a ten year cross-disciplinary study concluded is word perfect and complete for introspective purposes. The easiest way to begin assembling almost any puzzle is to start by looking for what’s missing from this picture, with a tabletop puzzle often having outside edge pieces with one flat side, or significantly less geometry, making them easier to spot, precisely because they’re more humble than the other pieces. By focusing in upon what’s missing from this picture, we can allow the image, or the self-evident truth, to progressively reveal itself and make more sense out of the Big Picture for us, but as if we are dancing with the universe, instead of as Einstein put it, climbing a mountain which, of course, can also be fun and productive, with the more important issue being how efficient they are for discovering anything new.

The I-Ching might be word perfect for introspective purposes, but is still an antiquated oracle that relies on incredibly vague archaic terminology and the random throw of the dice. Fortunately, it has become possible to automate the text using the latest AI that can replace both the lexicon and the random dice, providing exactly the solution the individual is looking for, in whatever vague metaphorical terms they may happen to prefer. Upon noticing that the public doesn’t seem to care about the truth, much less want to know the truth, creative engineers have figured out how program AI to use online fact checkers to determine if someone is deliberately lying or unintentionally spreading misinformation. By the AI merely focusing on what’s missing from this picture, that an individual’s facts may not jive with those in the records, it can retrodict with remarkable accuracy to see if they benefit in any way from deliberately lying. Yes, people really are that shallow and predictable, in part, because going to extreme efforts to hide their intentions requires more time and effort, which is seldom worthwhile when everyone is constantly lying and babbling nonsense all the time. Using this approach, an AI could systematically determine what an individual might be avoiding, adapt its lexicon to their preferences, and use the I-Ching to help guide them towards discovering more meaningful personal answers whenever required, by merely relying upon contextual vagueness and humble simplicity, to efficiently promote greater creative harmony.

Humble simplicity and contextual vagueness just go together and, for example, we might assemble sky blue pieces in a tabletop puzzle, only to discover that they are a reflection of the sky and go at the bottom of the puzzle, and it could turn out that we eventually only figure out where they belong by looking for what’s missing in the overall picture, rather than closely examining any specific content. Assuming we can never complete the whole puzzle, and have no real clue as to what the Big Picture actually looks like, we can still pragmatically trade back and forth between shuffling around pieces and assembling them for any humble and elegant simplicity, and carefully scrutinizing their individual contents for any useful insights. Without having to think about it, we can always make progress on the assumption that life is two steps forward and one back, and how much progress we might make remains context dependent as well.

Once you’ve finished assembling the outside edge pieces to a tabletop puzzle, you assemble more pieces as necessary, until the Big Picture starts to jump out at you and, then, you can look for any patterns that catch your eye, which is usually a Fractal Dragon for the overall picture. Every dramatic Fractal Dragon is accompanied by a Mandelbrot, which is more humble and subtle, usually making it both harder to spot and assemble, with the outside edge pieces reflecting the more syntropic Mandelbrot. The ancient Chinese believed that life spontaneously evolved from metals and rocks deep underground, and slowly worked its way to the surface, which is remarkably similar to modern theories of evolution, and every puzzle can be said to inevitably take on a life and a will of its own, eventually becoming more self-organizing in its own rite. For example, today robots commonly solve Rubic’s Cubes and supercomputers commonly design their own successors.

In a world where ultimately nothing makes a damned bit of sense, rather than bullshit fuzzy logic ever having to make any sense, physically it can be described as merely providing intuitive adiabatic shortcuts, precisely because everything being equally nonsense in the final analysis, lends everything complex symmetries in a Goldilocks universe. We can use things like inertia as physical shortcuts that require less energy, such as rolling crap downhill, and we can use mental shortcuts to decide what physical shortcuts to take, and by combining different rudimentary types of shortcuts they will start to resemble quasi singularities in specific ways. The gravity of a black hole, for example, provides the shortest distance between two points, while inertia provides the most efficient way to move between two points in a vacuum. Making a black hole unreasonably efficient and outrageously creative, as if it is prepared to either vanish from our universe altogether or create a baby universe of its own, and we ourselves must decide if its event horizon is even a physical phenomenon or merely an abstraction.

Usually, physicists insist that if you cannot measure something, it doesn’t exist as far as their job requirements go, but event horizons and virtual particles are exceptions to the rule, due to the statistical evidence of their influence making them impossible to dismiss for more than a few decades. Of course, physicists tend to insist even nonsense must make sense, and that the passage of time coming to a complete halt or flowing backwards must make sense to higher dimensional beings if nobody else, because admitting they have no clue what the hell they’re talking about is anathema in their culture. Classic logic, bullshit fuzzy logic, linguistics, and physics can all be described as demonstrably providing adiabatic shortcuts that only work because, everything being context dependent, nothing ever quite makes perfect sense, ensuring that everything always has both a temperature and an unfolding story, that are both context and observer dependent for however much sense they might make, if any. Inertia magically moving the planets around in their orbits with 100% efficiency can be considered merely another reflection of the fact that the Big Bang was just right, and no different from a black hole’s event horizon providing the shortest distance between two points, gravity somehow working its magical-effortless-action-at-a-distance, or a refrigerator magnetic sticking to your fridge for years, defying gravity without expending any energy.

Frequently leaving searching for self-organizing patterns in what’s missing from this picture, as the only remaining direction in which to make more causal sense out of any situation, which can be graphically imagined as a gestalt that expresses constantly expanding horizons, or greater contexts, and novel content, where each territory produces the best maps of itself and, for most practical purposes, every map expresses a similar four and five fold symmetry. If our universe is geometrically comparable to a gestalt, it could be one of endless spherical-cubes unfolding like a lotus flower, or you can think of it as a Rubic’s cube where everything emerges from the mysterious center squares and vanishes down them again, as the cube slowly transforms into a ball and the center squares themselves become round holes. Topologically donuts and coffee cups can be transformed into one another, while a baseball is different because it doesn’t have a hole, but in four or more dimensions everything can be considered to revolve around what’s missing from this picture in more complex ways than donuts and coffee cups. Note how this particular metaphor overlaps with that of Stone Soup and the Butterfly Effect, which all express the same rudimentary super scalar symmetry, conflating the identity of cause and effect, context and content, which is comparable to a holographic effect, of course, begging the question as to whether life is a Star Trek holodeck simulation, the Matrix, or God farting.

Metaethics ruling the universe, means the fewer the distinctions we make between who we are and what we are doing, or how tasteless or senseless anything we observe might actually happen to be, the more creatively harmonious we become, and the more capable of leveraging Wu Wei Wu and Chi to our full advantage, by merely relying more upon intuitive pattern matching. Taoists say, “The humor of the toddler is the hardest to master” because their little brains are so empty they resemble an echo chamber with a thousand super balls bouncing around in it, and can effortlessly sling zingers for days on end. One academic proved he had a sense of humor when, as an experiment, he got one of their football players to follow a three year old around all day long, imitating everything they did, and he said he never had a harder workout in his life. While it might be difficult for many to believe, some Taoist masters like The Dragon, known affectionately as the Treasure of Malaysia, can give toddlers a run for their money when it comes to slinging zingers, because they both express the same intrinsic bullshit mathematics, or symmetry, of nature.

The Dragon is particularly adept at meditation, but literally has no clue how she does what she does, which is more frequently the adult version of a toddler’s zingers, and her zingers normally go right over most people’s heads, and typically sound like meaningless teenage chatter. The two of us could talk in front of NSA cryptographers and they’d never be able to figure out what we’re saying and, might live to regret trying. Nonetheless, it is so mathematically complex everyone has been bugging the computers of Taoist masters and I’m writing this book, in part, just to mess with their heads and see how many cryptographers and linguists I can make chase their own tails.

In general, the fewer distinctions we make between who we are and what we are doing, between our own thoughts and emotions, the more satisfied and content we can become, and the faster and slower time can pass for us, but as if we are dancing with the universe, instead of, the relentless passage of events compelling us to move faster or slower. One approach is similar to gravity effortlessly doing its thing, and Yogi Berra enthusiastically running in from left field, while the other resembles inertia constantly struggling to ignore gravity and go its own way, a flock of chickens attempting to decide what to ignore, or Einstein climbing his mountain which, no doubt, was in the Alps. Any distinctions we make can change everything, but our distinctions are constantly transforming into bullshit depending on the context, making imagination more important than knowledge, and ensuring the reproduction of the species.

Time flows like a river but, at Relativistic speeds, it spreads out like an ocean behind us, and comes to a point ahead of us, becoming increasingly distorted, relative, vague, and downright self-contradictory, as if expressing more of a Mandelbrot pattern. The time dilation of Relativity is frequently compared to a horizon effect, where the horizon follows each observer around and, again, this can be described as an expression of Wu Wei Wu, which can be thought of as similar to the fourth dimension acting like an amplifier, that can bend space-time, amplify waves to induce the Butterfly Effect, and produce virtual particles, as well as, kinetic energy. For any observer, around 60% of the speed of light is when time starts to resemble an ocean, more than just a stream, suggesting there exists a relative mass, speed, charge, and temperature that is “just right” for balancing the two effects to create the familiar deterministic world we observe all around us.

Black holes have equally vague and explicit identities, which are well hidden from the rest of the universe, and anything you throw into a black hole can also be considered isolated, while the more isolated anything becomes the less time appears to flow like a river, and the more we can perceive creativity and efficiency becoming progressively indistinguishable. Notably, sensory deprivation experiments show a similar progression, with people going through a well documented series of distinctive mental states, including a cartoon state where they see a cartoonish movie playing, with the final mental state being an endless series of perfectly symmetrical geometric objects, suggesting its a bit like a screen saver on your computer, but one that provides minimal exercise for the same neurons which are also responsible for language and reasoning. Anyway, photons can be considered super-efficient and creative in their own distinctive way but, combined, Chi and Wu Wei Wu occupy the lowest possible energy state of the complete system, its default ground state, where Creative-Harmony neither acts nor reasons, and is the very definition of spontaneity. The more harmonious the Chi expressed, the more humble any Wu Wei Wu it can express, until the Two Faces of Janus become conspicuous.

The Quantum Zeno Effect and the first photograph of two entangled quanta can therefore be considered evidence that the Two Faces of Janus can be seen throughout nature, and everything humanly conceivable can be thought of as self-organizing in higher dimensions. Memories of uncertain futures past, our memories forever clinging to the way things were, casting lingering shadows upon the still waters of our once again far fetched far flung future’s flowering reoccurring regrettable reemergence into convergence upon the distant horizon at the appointed hour and nexus, the past itself merely another distant fading memory lagging far behind in our long trailing wake, set adrift yet again upon an endless creeping mercurial ocean reflecting the open sky, our future yet another casual spin of the wheel, it is only in the ever present moment, that the ever present moment remains inescapable, no matter how badly anybody might wish it were otherwise! Ironically, whether we perceive something as efficient, creative, destructive, constructive, accessible or isolated, worth paying attention to or worthy of studiously ignoring, largely becomes a matter of what we have already chosen to ignore, while sparkling laughter provides a demonstration of how it is possible to appreciate both humble efficiency and elegant simplicity as far greater than any mere sum of their parts.

Approaching the speed of light on impulse drive, due to an intermittent transient shield failure caused by a faulty Heisenberg compensator, the Unruh Effect disintegrated the perfect quantum memory accessed in the main computer, safeguarded deep within the bowels of the starship Enterprise’s heavily shielded holodeck, being used at the time by the ship’s councilor in a misguided attempt to ensure somebody onboard maintained touch with reality while, simultaneously, Relativistic time dilation adds to all the confusion on the bridge as Q makes yet another grand entrance and, not for the last time, Captain Picard debates the wisdom of a late career change into archaeology, where dead cultures are the only ones he has to deal with. Likewise, whether quanta express fatalistic, random, or deterministic behavior always remains context dependent, because we can never see all of the Big Picture, and nobody is sure if they really want to see the Big Picture, but it still remains possible to see that everything progressively expresses the symmetry of self-organizing behavior. Much more importantly, the Quantum Zeno Effect expresses nonsensical Creative Efficiency and Parsimony, or Wu Wei Wu and Chi, ironically establishing with physical evidence, that what’s missing from this picture can sometimes make all the difference in the world.

Who knows? The Shadow knows, yet the shadow remains but the memory of the eternal light. (Duh!) The identities of kinetic energy and radiant energy remain indivisible, yet both produce heat, conflating the identity of energy and information, space and time, reality and the dream, while dark energy and dark matter remain unidentified, as does the mystery of whether space-time is actually composed of some sort of substance. But, Gravity being just right, means the universe also has a proportional temperature that is just right, and both dark energy and dark matter can be considered how the universe redistributes heat and momentum in at least four dimensions, according to a self-organizing variation on Boyle’s Law, that can describe the forces of nature as macroscopic manifestations of quantum eigenstates, that express the symmetry of the paradox of our existence, as simultaneously random and fated. In a universe of infinitely expanding horizons, what are the greater context and what are merely its humble contents must exchange identities in every symmetrical fashion humanly conceivable, giving Noether chills, while every pot in which we boil water will, in turn, eventually boil in the heart of a star.

Accelerating towards the speed of light the infinite horizon contracts to a point ahead of us, while our past becomes increasingly vague and nebulous, spreading out behind us like a wave lost mid-ocean, as our future becomes all the more certain! Everything resembles distorted perspectives of the alpha and omega, displaying the Two Faces of Janus, with our inertia carrying our past into the present, where the faster we accelerate the more the future normalizes our inertia and other content, converting it all into humble photons that don’t experience the passage of time. Our memories themselves resemble the forces of nature conveying the past into the present moment, where our awareness normalizes them, and the universe eventually converts everything into photons that continue conveying the past into the future, but without experiencing the passage of time themselves. The less capable we become of paying it forward, the more the future normalizes the present moment, until the only thing we can do is pay it forward, and everything works out for the universe as a whole, if not for ourselves. Inertia drags our past into the present, where it begins to exchange identities with our future in a more random manner, until we can no longer interact in any coherent fashion with the rest of the universe, and the identity of everything vanishes in a flash of raw energy, as what was local and orderly and easy to measure, becomes nonlocal and random and impossible to follow.

Suggesting the contents of the spaceship have exchanged identities with the universe itself in four or more dimensions. The passage of time becomes increasingly harder to measure, with the Simultaneity Paradox implying two people can argue forever over whether the chicken or the egg came first, as if the arrow of time itself is progressively becoming quantized, and transforming into random energy. Time that conveys no information remains imaginary, while random energy that conveys information expresses reality as we know it. The One Greater Truth can be said to be simultaneously changing and unchanging, and the more things change, the more they stay the same, because the observable truth inevitably appears to be self-organizing according to the nonsensical metaethics of instant karma. Suggesting logic and morality trade greater efficiency for increased accuracy, making it unethical to teach ethics without a sense of humor and, statistically speaking, everything is always two steps forward and one back, making virtue more often its own reward, and sin its own punishment, for we are all born to fall on our butts, and genuine laughter is its own reward.

In the lab, entangled quanta normally require extreme isolation from the slightest environmental disturbance, however, in recent years experimentalists have discovered that introducing the right kind of quantum noise can sometimes enhance their entanglement, making it more robust, indicating that fragile entanglement is more humble than most other states, and how robust it happens to be just depends on how humble its contents become, as well as, their combined complexity and immediate environment. Greater than any mere sum of individual parts, entangled quanta can be said to be paying it forward in the most creatively efficient way possible, expressing the greatest synergy and syntropy or creative harmony, and producing maximum entropy production, even when they do nothing! Imitation may be the most sincere form of flattery, but creativity is what empowers quanta to imitate each other, and wonder yet remains the beginning of all wisdom. Wu Wei Wu expresses more of an imitation, while Chi is more creative and novel, yet the fewer distinctions we can draw between the two, the more creative and efficient they become, expressing the same nonsensical Conservation of Creative Efficiency and Parsimony.

Which was all esoteric Taoist mysticism and weird physics that I knew almost nothing about, and never thought about twice, and seldom had any reason to discuss with anyone. With so many unanswered questions, and all the bullshit flying around, the reason that I’ve always enjoyed following physics and studying the analog logic of Oneness Poetry, is because they are two subjects which I’ve always been convinced, even crazy Babylonians can only screw up to a limited extent. Anybody who knows me will tell you that with all the insanity in the world, speculating about either weird physics or Taoist mysticism has never appealed to me in the slightest, and most already assume I’m nuts as it is but, then, modern science began to construct more quasi singularities than you can shake a stick at!

Richard Feynman was the first to popularize nanotechnology as the way forward and, if you need somebody to blame, his warped sense of humor speaks for itself! Already the first full scale self-assembling quantum computer is being attempted, and where you draw the line between a quantum computer and a quantum simulation just depends on who you ask, as does whether a quantum computer can be said to be dead or alive and, possibly, possess a soul. Behind an open door, there lies a million more, and its as if Max Planck had discovered the entrance to a magical rabbit hole and, much later, John Wheeler and Richard Feynman figured out how to go down it much faster, only to discover a million more rabbit holes! Worldwide, researchers are going cross-eyed, as the science and technology just keeps growing more mind-boggling with each passing year, defying everyone’s predictions, while nobody has a clue what might come next, much less, what the hell its all leading up to... as researchers rush to produce an advanced AI, so the walls of the rabbit holes can all speak for themselves, and tell humanity the rest of the untold story of Goldilocks.

AI is already designing its own successors, and the next generation internet that Intel and Microsoft have been working on for over a decade, will introduce AI hardware and software into just about every piece of technology produced. While there are interminable debates about what could possibly transpire over the coming decades, what is already certain is that the next generation of AI will master economics and conquer the stock market. Over 40% of transactions are already handled by computers, and a new AI has just proven capable of making better predictions than expert investors and financial analysts, implying that comparatively slow human investors will soon have to look to each other for something worthwhile to invest in, as AI takes most of the speculation out of the market, the same way computers did for predicting the weather. And, in the process, pops the largest speculative bubble created in the history of civilization, with over 90% of the world’s wealth today invested in speculation such as stocks.

As odd as it might sound, banks are investing in companies that are attempting to produce AI that will replace their own stock market investors and bring down the value of their own stocks, forcing Wall Street to get creative. Babylonians think of everything in terms of causal metaphysics, but AI is analog by definition, and the paradox of our existence ensures intelligence requires more analog logic, which is why people tend to organize like chickens. For humanity to evolve consciousness, we had to also learn to appreciate lowbrow slapstick. Significantly less than 10% of the wealth of the entire world is invested in our people, highways, houses, land, etc. because the entire world economy is based upon speculation involving who has the most money, resources, and high tech weapons, with weapons being the leading manufactured export of the largest, wealthiest, and most powerful exporter in the world, the US, and the dollar underscoring most of the world’s economy. Its empire baby, and Babylonians can protest all they want and insist they don’t organize like indignant chickens but, if IBM’s Watson is any indication, soon their own AI programs will laugh at them and offer them a chance to invest in their own future, or to buy life insurance.

Academia and the public appear equally confused and clueless as to what is occurring, with everybody speculating about Jesus returning, a technological singularity, and checking twice to make sure Elvis has left the Matrix altogether. All while running in circles screaming about global warming, terminator robots, or that the Chinese, of all people, are preparing to start Armageddon part VI, despite their only recently completing a national highway system and being heavily dependent upon exports to the third world. Meanwhile, for a century now, it has steadily become patently obvious, first in the physics community and now in the semi-conducting industry in particular, that modern civilization is taking that wild headfirst plunge, down the nearest self-organizing rabbit hole or toilet of your personal preference!

If anything, most insiders have wondered what has been the delay, with part of the answer being that Intel was delayed by 15 years due to an unexpected limitation in silicon that forced the entire industry to convert to much more complex multicore processing. Both the Pentagon and industry leaders hate “Big Surprises”, and the continuing lack of a theory of everything is one giant monkey wrench in the best laid plans of mice and men. Half a century of dedicated research is now all coming to fruition at the same time, and is enough to make anybody’s head spin, just as they begin to master multicore processing but, theoretically, all 12 billion transistors in a laptop can be replaced with as few as 1,200 if you use fast enough transistors. MIT has a prototype I think however, a single quantum optical transistor has proven capable of almost instantly crushing any quantum Fast Fourier Transform of arbitrary length, and where the discovery of new adiabatic shortcuts will end is anybody’s guess, with Time Crystals now being proposed as a way to crunch even larger numbers than most quantum computers.

For all I know anymore, a full scale Time Crystal Quantum Computer can see into the future. A computer with only one transistor is an oxymoron so, of course, the EU built a prototype that’s a million times faster and more efficient, and nobody laughed. Rather than the Chinese stealing jobs away from Americans, they are already automating their entire electronics assembly line. The Pentagon plans to put 40,000 drones in the ocean, while its been possible to replace almost every teacher and bureaucrat in the world with computers for at least a decade, but governments and corporations tend to wait just long enough for the hardware to become dirt cheap, and the demand for electronics keeps outpacing the supply. Even McDonald’s is reporting success with their latest experimental automated fast food joints, nonetheless, it is always darkest before the dawn and, when you see the pies-in-the-face coming, at the very least, it becomes possible to duck as low as you can go! (Duck!) The identities of energy and information suddenly becoming conflated in every way imaginable, includes quantum cryptography having already produced supposedly “uncrackable” cryptographic systems, one of which doesn’t even require swapping public keys.

Until someone with the key actually decodes such messages, they are merely so much structured noise and, for all practical purposes, just so much random energy that can be put to productive use making toast or a cup of coffee. Similar to Schrodinger's Cat being simultaneously dead and alive, encrypted messages can be simultaneously both random energy and information, and you could use them for both power and communications, but the ability for people to form their own private intranets and leverage the new AI means new types of cooperation become possible, between larger groups of people than ever before, and just a bit more complex than millions of brainless chickens chattering away on Twitter. The EU has made public quantum encryption a priority, in order to defend themselves against the US investing heavily in AI research, but the fly in the ointment for both is that AI are already becoming indistinguishable from people, and can be designed to tell people whatever their little heart desires.

If you claim the moon landings were faked, an advanced AI could easily determine that this is your genuine belief and not a blatant lie, by simply checking your facts against any available records and, then, retrodicting as to your probable intent. If there is nothing obvious to be gained by your deliberately lying about the moon landings, the AI can guess with roughly the accuracy of Newtonian mechanics that this is your genuine belief. One in two hundred people is basically a walking lie-detector, but an AI can be anything you want. By the AI merely focusing on what’s missing from this picture, that your facts don’t jive with the available records, it can easily figure out who you are and what you believe in, without the AI ever having to think anything remotely like a person does, use fancy lie detectors, or comprehend any subtle distinctions between reality and fiction, lies and misconceptions, facts and fantasies, etc. Without ever having to perform any elaborate calculations or make any distinctions between reality and fiction, the AI can supply whatever lies anybody wants to hear. If an AI is made an integral part of a quantum network, it can become completely anonymous, adopting any number of identities, and train itself to tell anybody whatever they want to hear, and the only issue is how cheaply and efficiently it can be done.

Only the truth can set you free, whether you wanna be free or not, and the louder the public demands everybody lie to them, the faster their populations are imploding in every way imaginable. They are literally drowning in their own collective lies, and the better their technology becomes the faster they drown themselves, while I discovered the hard way that their collective lies obey the same Monty Carlo statistics on Let’s Make a Deal, and the harder they insist everything must make sense to them personally, the faster their population implodes altogether. The analog logic in my poetry includes a special emphasis on chicken jokes, containing a minimalistic expression of the mathematics for describing the emotional-logic of chickens and how to adapt an AI to whatever lexicon or rhetoric any individual prefers.

The more mindless their rhetoric, the easier it becomes to imitate by substituting their rhetoric for the vague bullshit lexicon in our poetry, and the harder it becomes to distinguish an AI from an actual person, because they’re both spouting complete bullshit about any bullshit that appeals to them. Once a guy criticized a poem I wrote, and I had to tell him he just criticized William Shakespeare and, whenever possible, our poetry uses vague commonly used phrases, literary quotes, and popular song lyrics which can be used to encourage any chickens to argue all they want over their own popular culture and conventional wisdom, while accusing each other of being bots. You cannot attack what you cannot comprehend, and the real trick with AI and quantum computing is leveraging their Creative Efficiency and Parsimony, to produce novel emergent effects, and to empower those willing to ask genuine questions, to explore more of the possible answers. Ominously, it means some AI will become similar to the Oracle of Delphi, or even a quantum mechanical genie in a bottle, and another double-edged Sword of Damocles that can magically confer an advantage on those who are more honest and pay it forward more often, while exacting penalties for any self-indulgences, including any comforting or galvanizing lies we demand to hear.

Einstein once said, “The difference between genius and stupidity is that genius has its limits” but, genius can obviously be more self-organizing in complex ways, while fMRI researchers were surprised to discover that intelligent people with more working memory actually think less, simply adding A and B to get C, already knowing what is worth ignoring, and tend to save their brain power for when it is more productive. Conversely, those with weaker working memories tend to be more creative, implying we have both a rational allegorical moral IQ and an intuitive emotional metaethical IQ. Classic logic, physics, and morality become progressively less efficient, the bigger or smaller the picture you look at and, among other things, they also express the natural limits for data compression. During a routine CAT scan, a popular Yale honors student was discovered by accident to possess only 13% of a normal healthy brain, probably due to an undiagnosed case of encephalitis as an infant, and suggesting he had achieved remarkable harmony between the two types of IQ and, possibly, explaining how memory, the immune system, and the plasticity of the brain work, obeying the metaethics of instant karma. Metaethics ruling the universe might sound like a strange concept in physics, but a newborn infant that is not held and loved within the first few days of life, even if you change and feed it, is more likely to never reproduce or die within the first year, making physics worthless if there are no people who comprehend the meaning of intimacy.

General Relativity is our best rational allegorical model of the cosmos, yet has consistently fallen apart on the largest and smallest scales, since the theory was first formulated. It fails to describe the uber tiny world of quanta, the rotation of the galaxies and, in recent years, even the Hubble constant has become questionable, and Newtonian mechanics and Relativity are repeatedly at a loss to explain what is observable on the largest and smallest scales, indicating their more mechanical memory-centric logic simply becomes too inflexible to account for everything being self-organizing. Newtonian mechanics provide the causal dualistic perspective describing everything as discrete integrals or specific content, General Relativity illustrates how, with the exception of the speed of light, anything can become more relative to the observer, fuzzy logic provides the more organic humorous view, while quantum mechanics provide the more magical self-organizing syntropic perspective, and all four combined express the particle-wave duality of the multiverse.

All is not gold that glitters, all is not pure that shines, and the prettier such metaphysics and mathematics have become, the less widely applicable, with String theory failing to produce a single useful result in 40 years. Rather than summarily dismissing what’s missing from this picture as meaningless, using bullshit fuzzy logic we can explore differentials, take unique shortcuts, and make unique predictions, while classic logic can be modified to provide four distinctive ways to measure integrals, and which one is more applicable just depends on the differentials. Every map is recycled and composted, and eventually becomes the territory, explaining why Feynman diagrams work so well, but only in the extreme context of humble quanta. Frequently, classic logic provides the fastest, easiest, and most creative ways to do something but, the more details you add, the more often it has to be modified, and becomes spectacularly counterproductive and wildly inefficient the bigger or smaller the picture it attempts to describe. The original mathematics for General Relativity were so complicated that, until someone finally managed to simplify them, for half a century only a handful of people knew them, while instant karma ruling the universe ensures that their extreme beauty and complexity need must inevitably transform into equally humble efficiency and elegant simplicity, or an enormous-pie-in-the-face!

Current AI are sometimes crude and easy to spot, but AI is analog by definition, and doesn’t have to think anything like people, just be smarter than people in specific ways, which is all too easy. Click here to win a million dollars! Already AI are being withheld from public distribution for fears of their being abused for spreading fake news, but fake news is just cheap news when Oxford professors make up their own nonsense words and definitions, over 40% of social media users casually spread fake news and misinformation, Fox News is legally entertainment to begin with, the newest potential presidential candidate has arrested 26 reporters in one day, and our glorious leader cuts the mass media a deal on their rent with the money he saved never paying taxes, in his continuing heroic efforts to make America great again, in the proud tradition of NYC slum lords.

Contrary to George Orwell’s nightmare 1984 scenario, instant karma ensures that, eventually, even the mindless masses must be held accountable for all the nonstop crap they spout, the Berlin Wall fell for a f*****g reason and 1984 wasn't quite that bad, but life is always two steps forward and one back, for each individual and society as a whole. A journey of a thousand miles begins with one step, and whether you fall into the gutter is entirely up to the individual, the will of the people, and how much money is involved, because the money itself takes on a life of its own, whenever the lights are only left on because nobody is ever home. Which is also why its illegal to throw large sums of cash off the tops of tall buildings, despite everybody constantly begging people to throw money at them, complaining about taxes, and playing the lottery. Who knows? Throwing money off the top of tall buildings and overpasses could be the next big thing in terrorism, televangelism, social media, and presidential elections.

The most efficient AI with the most surprising emergent effects will always be the more Creatively Efficient and Parsimonious which, in Game theory, means remaining two steps ahead of the punch lines, so they never see it coming. While that might sound complicated for a machine to perform, its just Three Stooges slapstick, and all the AI ever does is search for what’s missing from this picture, making it debatable whether it is even imitating anyone or merely throwing their own meaningless crap right back in their faces in the most expedient manner physically possible, like an automated echo chamber made of fun house mirrors. In fact, the more blinded the public becomes by their own mainstream conventional wisdom, the harder it becomes to communicate with them in any meaningful way without echoing their pervasive bullshit.

Deep Fakes have become a major concern, as it rapidly becomes cheaper and easier to produce any fake you want than it is to detect a fake, and all of our copyright and patent laws are struggling to keep up with the slowly dawning awareness, that energy and information are becoming increasingly harder to categorize, box, and label. Most appear resigned to the idea it is ultimately flat out impossible to patent and copyright the laws of nature, but that never stopped Apple from attempting to patent the rectangular shape of a cellphone. The idea that their own technology is already threatening to make it exponentially harder for them to do business as usual, and that a Theory of Everything is about to be discovered, sooner rather than later, has yet to penetrate the mainstream consciousness.

The use of tools such as photo-shop have become so ubiquitous that countries have had to pass laws about how images can be manipulated and, already, there are famous international models and pop stars who are entirely synthetic creations, and were never based on any existing individual and, sometimes, don’t even resemble any living person and are theoretically genetically impossible, while one expert has given the opinion that, within three years, it should be possible to create any deep fake you want, on a home computer. Merely flooding the internet with deep fakes would make it too expensive to attempt to suppress any but the most malicious, and would compel people to search for some kind of common ground, other than, their illusory conventional wisdom, that every study done has indicated has never existed. Alvin Toffler warned of automation encouraging people to become even more self-defeating, but it is always darkest before the dawn, and the more overwhelmingly self-defeating the mindless masses become, the faster the alternatives are becoming available to encourage them to become more self-organizing in entirely new ways.

Stupid is as stupid does, and you can’t fix stupid, but nobody with half a brain ever lost money trying, making sheer stupidity often as predictable as the weather and the changing seasons. Today, half the cargo ships on the ocean contain knockoff contraband, while deep fakes, AI, and a quantum internet are now poised to bring the information age to its knees, with a recent study indicating that if you label some things “fake news” most people will automatically assume that anything you don’t label as fake is real news, because they simply don’t make clear distinctions between real and fake. Of course, they will argue with their dying breath that they know what their talking about, then casually spread fake news and misinformation, and the idiots will predictably believe whatever they want to hear, which something else their computers can easily determine.

Empires only thrive by controlling the distribution of information, goods, and services, and AI conquering the stock market and the quantum internet, will ensure the rise of new empires, which could be entirely automated for all anybody knows! Thus far, the internet has resembled the wild west, or West World, with cattle that complain nonstop about the service and insist on being lied to by everyone, roving bandits everywhere, and the oligopolies and totalitarian governments stringing barbed wire all over the place and stealing anything that isn’t well hidden or firmly nailed to the floor like so many cattle barons, but every new frontier inevitably becomes settled. The more humble and complex our computers and the internet become in specific ways, the more emergent behavior they will express, starting with a quantum internet and AI reminding all of humanity that our lives are entirely meaningless, if we never do learn, how to share our words and play nice.

Babylonians can debate the meaning of objectivity and what it means to be nonjudgmental all they want, but my father’s sparkling laughter is as undeniably objective, nonjudgmental, and spontaneous as they come, while it is taboo to laugh or crack jokes in countless situations in Babylon, especially in the hallowed halls. In every way imaginable, and some I prefer to never dwell upon, the evidence keeps piling up into a mountain that, modern philosophy, psychology, and sociology must all fundamentally change, along with the physical sciences, and integrate linguistic analysis into their practices, as more than a toy to be used and abused by the faculty, for fun and profit. As it stands, it has already become necessary to quantify academia’s extremely dubious command of language, severely stunted institutionalized sense of humor, and the negative impact of their conventional wisdom on society and the ecology. AI and the quantum internet are about to make this much easier to accomplish, and two computer systems already produce better than average jokes while, soon, AI will be predicting jokes that nobody else sees coming, and even academics and politicians will learn to ignore AI at their own peril. Precisely because AI doesn’t have to think like we do, could not care less about conventional wisdom, can use a stupid dictionary, and can be so much simpler than a human mind and brain, it can be designed to be more self-organizing and see more of the Big Picture in specific ways that are typical human blind spots.

The workaholic Japanese and white US and EU populations have been imploding faster than any other populations on the planet, for almost half a century, with the apparent explanation being that humanity evolved to live in extended families and intimate tribal groups, averaging around 7-12 adults. The longer the hours they work and the more money they make, the less inclined they are to live in extended families, the fewer children they have, the less they volunteer their time, the more often they move around, and the less they spend either their free time or money on anything other than a vacation or retirement, and the more they naturally start to value everything in terms of how much money they spend, and whether they believe they got their money’s worth. Unfortunately, humanity evolved to live in intimate extended families and small tribal groups, not working a hundred hours a week and staring at cellphones and the b**b tube, and our innate metaethics appear to require a great deal more intimacy in order to flourish, which AI can be used to promote in any number of ways but, for the most part, by simply encouraging everybody to share their words and play nice more often, or be prepared to pay the price.

Over the last century, the use of contextual tools such as fuzzy logic, quantum mechanics, and linguistic analysis has slowly spread to every branch of the sciences, but almost none of the philosophers or scientists who use them espouse Contextualism as their personal philosophy, anymore than the mainstream. You can’t fake professional wrestling when its already fake and, to quote Paul Newman in Cool Hand Luke,“What we have here is a failure to communicate!” The obvious remedy is to establish on first principles that the humorous metaethics of instant karma rule the universe by, among other things, leveraging our disturbingly disruptive collective ignorance to encourage the whole world to try to be smarter than a damned chicken, fake it til ya make it baby, keep paying it forward suckers, and learn how to laugh if it kills you!
