Nathan's philosophy

about

When I first made this site I made the philosophy commune which went over some of my political views and the philosophy. Its messy and incoherent. It was more of a peek into whatever I was thinking at the time as if I cracked open my head and give you a look inside. It was raw and abstract but not anything anyone besides myself would read and understand. You can find the archive here.

Now that I am redoing this I want to make it more coherent, honest, and almost spiritual in a kind of way if you can call it that. You can skip to whatever parts you want but I recommand you don't because its going to read alot more like a story and will slowly develop ideas throughout.

The Geist

Throughout this website you will see me use the word geist alot. Geist is a German word that can translate into three different words in English: ghost, spirit, and mind. I always use it in place of spirit for its more flexible nature and the more abstract yet almost mathical and mechanical ways it can be used.

Case against the mythical

I don't believe in religion, god, spirits, baby fucking jesus, magic.. or any of that bullshit. In every way imaginable I am indeed an atheist. Everything can be demythized. Before you go saying "I am not religous, I am spiritual" and go running to your mommy girlfriend that someone on the internet hurt your feelings and you need your unwashed cock sucked to feel better about yourself I have much more to say: Once you truly begain to demythize something the things you discover are much more beautiful, artist, and meaningful than any myth or superstitions can ever be.

Take evolution for example: there is much beauty, meaning, and a chaotic sort of inner peace that can be found knowing the way every species comes and goes into and out of existance and how new species come to be from a sort of process that can be slow and careful at times and fast and rough at others. A complex process that requires thinking about really small and really large numbers on a scale are brains are not designed to understand. Don't know about you but that gives me a sort of sad joy to think about and makes me think very big deep thoughts. Much more beatiful than something as bluntly dumb as god.

How the brain works

The brain looks like just a mooshy wet pink blob. I want you to really think about that sentence. Imagine holding your own brain in your hands. What does it look like? what does it feel like? smell? sounds it makes when you play with it? even imagine the taste if your willing to go that far. Congrats, you just used something I call signal pathing. Your brain has many abstract components that are associated with different functions. They dont serve different functions and arent built for namable functions. Just assoicated with. By pathing signals through different components each one designed for processing data in a special type of way your brain can in the most effective way with its given resources process many types of information thrown at it in many ways. For example the same lanauge can have a spoken version, written version, sign lanuage version, braille.. the brain can signal path information can whatever snese its using to read that lanauge and send it to many other parts for processing. Things like the minds eye, internal monologue... are all just artifacts of signal pathing. Also you used signal pathing to read all of this and will continue to use it all the time for rest of your life the same your brain have always used it.

You are multiple

you are the result of multiple consciousnesses all inside the same head. The left and right side of your brain when seprated with sugery go out of sync and each one starts acting independently. Thats only as far as they can split down. If each half itself could be split in half like that we couldn't be able to test it. For all you know you could have a 100 conscious brain pieces up there. Consciousness is just the ablitity for the brain to refence itself. Kind of like how your currently using your brain to read something about now the brain works. Consciousness alone isn't the end all.
