<h2>about</h2>
<p>
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 <a href="archive/the_philosophy_commune.html">here</a>.
<br/><br/>
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.

<h2 id="geist">The Geist</h2>
<p>
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 <i>spirit</i> for its more flexible nature and the more abstract yet
almost mathical and mechanical ways it can be used.
<p>
<h3>Case against the mythical</h3>
<p>
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.
<br/><br/>
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.
</p>
<h3>How the brain works</h3>
<p>
<i>The brain looks like just a mooshy wet pink blob.</i> 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 <i>signal pathing</i>. Your brain has
many abstract components that are associated with different functions. They <b>dont serve</b>
different functions and <b>arent built for</b> namable functions. <b>Just assoicated with.</b>
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.
</p>
<h3>You are multiple</h3>
<p>
<b>you</b> 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.

<h2 id="darwinism">Darwinism</h2>
<p>
As of writing this I am part way through a book on the subject. Galápagos by Kurt Vonnegut. It
uses a fictional story as a pivot point to go about understanding how evolution actually works.
Go check out it out. Well anyways I am writing this to explain what evolution actually looks like
and the issues with Social Darwinism. Evolution in nature is the process of making species more
well adapted through nature selection. Its a nearly mathical process and <b>it does not care
what we think is the best</b>. The only thing driving the process is making species well tuned
to their environment. For example evolution might make a species less physical strong in return
for liter weight and less required food to survive if thats what would make it better fitted
for its environment. It does things like this all the time take flightless birds for example.
Humans see losing flight as a downgrade but evolution no longer saw a need for those birds
to fly and instead designed the birds for other uses like swiming, faster running speeds...
</p>
<h3>Case against Social Darwinism</h3>
<p>
Social Darwinism is a construct of societies understanding of the world. Its a reflection of
the bias of those who have been given control, those who write the history books, those who
use their artificially sense of confidents and undeserved power to keep their name alive
after death. The few who are worth remembering aren't bought into the light until they
been dead long enough for their revolutionary ideas not to fuck up the status quo set
by the current narcissists in power. Nikola Tesla didn't get into the spot light until
his ideas lost the revolutionary edge and conflicts with the people in control of the
electric companies, Martin Luther King Jr was under attack by the US government his
entire life but once the more progessive side of his message got forgotten the same
people attacking him named a day after him and made one of his more tame speeches
his legacy while the rest have been forgotten to time. Thats not even including the
countless things forgotten to history. The small wars, the forgotten scientists and
artists... Nothing is in a vacuum, all these things enteract with each other in a
large choatic system which adds up to greater change and the movement of history.
If you want to see Darwinism applied to human society and history read up on some
old good Karl Marx and his dialectical materialism.

<h2 id="universe">The Universe</h2>
<p>
The Universe is a chaotic system of really small interactions and really large
interactions on a mass scale all running into each other in a nearly murderious
manner. Everything can be understood through the lens of dialectics. Everything
is the interaction of engery. The things we know and understand is just the result
of interactions of engery. Even matter can be viewed through this lens. I don't believe
in the big bang. Instead I have my own theory.
</p>
<h3>The creation of the universe</h3>
<p>
The Universe didn't come from nothing. Everything have always existed. In fact outside
the universe only everything exits and there is no nothing, no voids, no where safe from
particles colliding at speeds that makes light speed look like a childs bikes. Outside the
universe everything interacts with everything forever in all directions. Its like tv static that
goes on forever. Just like tv static since its random if you just so happen to pause during the
right time and zoom in you might find a picture of something. It might even just so happen to be
a picture of you! The universe is one of those. A time and place in a random existance that just
by the chance of randomness is something coherent. Like finding ShakeSpeare in The Library of
Babel. The engery interacted in a way to create what
we call the big bang. Instead of creating things it just opened up an area safe from the chaos.
A place where the interions are limited in a way. Constraints that makes limited yet complex and
coherent structures of engery possible. These structures is what matter is. Things light speed
is a example of one of these constraints. Its nothing uncommon. Its just a matter of time
until something like this happens.
</p>
<h3>God</h3>
<img src="images/brain_and_the_universe.png" alt="Human brain compared to galaxies"/>
<p>
The universe may not be anything like a human brain or any type of brain found on earth but
it is still a natural information processing machine. It doesn't will things to happen like a
religous god. Instead its a high being bound to the same forces and constrains as us. It only
has the power which are given to it also like us. It only ever sees what it can and sense what
it can.
</p>
<h3>Humanities reason for existing</h3>
<p>
I am a big Kurt Vonnegut and his book Cat's Cradle made me start to think that humans do have
a reason for existing but its not pleasent! I kind of went insane reading it so just hold on
for dear life as I pull nonsense out of my head. In the book there is something called ice-nine.
You can read about it on <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice-nine" target="_blank">
this wikipedia article</a> if your too lazy to read Cat's Cradle. Spoiler: <b>ice-nine gets into
the ocean and destroys the whole planet</b>. It made me think: I wonder if the universe brain
is in pain in its own sort of way and are reason for existing is to create a type of ice-nine
that destroys the universe. I have a sort of surreal depression that makes existing a pain.
Its transends any sort of normal pain or sadness. Its deeper than just the survival parts of
the brain to warn us if something is wrong. Its a short circuit that causes sorts of thought
loops and blunt conscious that causes a sort of pain that is slow and drawn out but adds up to
something no bullet or knife could cause. I often deeply relate to the universe brain and hope
it doesn't have to feel the same sort of thing. The universe can't end itself and no human will
destroy willfully: humans are going to end the universe by mistake just like when ice-nine got
into the ocean. Humans may be fucked up pig monkey men and freaks of nature but we are good at
one thing: destroying things by mistake. Evolution designed us for that. Part of natural selection
is testing each species and Adam and Eve is a medifor for that test. It proved we are well designed
to destroy things by mistake so it picked us.
