**Let's create life**
**Let's create life with intelligence, then rival them in an eternal battle for supremacy**
Pretty funny
life is just a cluster of cells tbh
Wait
It's more than cells
Cluster of **A t o m s**
And electricity
If the gnostics are right bodies are just prisons in essence
I agree with them on that at least as far as consciousness is concerned
The real living thing is the brain, the body is just a vessal for it.
**THAT IS WHY WE MUST PUT THE BRAIN INTO JARS AND MAKE MECHS**
Eventually
I recently had this idea of using Musk's neuralink and wireless connection to create a network of artifically kept alive frontal lobes
what do you mean you agree with gnostics as far as consciousness is concerned
You trying to make the labotomites from F:NV?
Robots that have brains in them, which are artificially kept alive.
Well if I give somebody brain damage, his soul remains undamaged but his existence on earth being limited by a prison just gets worse
No body is as good as consciousness unconstrained
Though the gnostics would say material existence itself is cruel and whatnot but I'm more life affirming than that
They also have other weird ideas about a monad and an imperfect monotheistic creator god which is cruel called the demiurge
No
Technically a polytheist but I don't actively worship or make a big deal out of it
Deism would imply me buying into the prime mover argument, which I don't
I think a cyclical universe has been disproved
the universe will die a heat death before it reunifies through gravity
The expansion of the universe I think is something beyond what we can concieve
as it implies there is something beyond it
yeah but expansion might be fake and gay
just because it is expanding at an accelerating rate (allegedly) now doesn't mean that will always be true
There's a lot of uncertainty in it
There's many ppl who buy the expansion theory, others believe it'll shrink again and collapse, others with a big rip and all sorts of weirdness
I don't really believe a lot of the super-weird astrophysics stuff anymore
I could see the argument for expansion based on the observable distances etc. and background radiation
At a certain point it just becomes a masturbation of mathematicians
yeah well the thing is, we can't actually observe the expansion of space like that
it's way too slow
Because matter couldn't have moved faster than light so some expansion must've happened
it's inferred based on redshift in radio waves from the big bang
well we don't really know that you can't go FTL either
Well yes it's kind of the orthodox view though
it might be true now but may not have always been true
