Does our perception of the world reflect reality?

We hardly see the world as it is.

Technology is often touted as the savior that will rescue us from our misbegotten ways, redeem us, and put us on the track to utopia. Then there are the dystopian views, where the future is dominated by technology that either rule over us or saps us so completely of our humanity that we might as well be a bunch of gadgets ourselves.

There are countless challenges today both environmental and not.

Mostly, we see the world through a set of layers. These layers are made up of our emotions, past experiences, and beliefs, and whichever perception is held by most, is popularly deemed as the reality.

Among contemporary scientists and philosophers, the most popular solution to the mind-body problem is probably materialism.

According to neuroscience, the contents of your head are comprised of 86

billion neurons, each one linked to 10,000 others, yielding trillions of

connections.

Materialists aspire to explain feelings and experiences in terms of the chemistry of the brain. It is broadly agreed that nobody has the slightest clue as yet how to do it, but many are confident that we one day will.

For human beings to survive, they need to produce and reproduce the material requirements of life.

But, the real reality is different and it’s above any perception.

 
                                     =============
 
THERE ARE NO UNIQUE VOICES ANYMORE. 
 

Here we are once again with another verbal diarrhea conference at the Summit of America’s with the president of the USA delivering a version of his domestic economic pitch promising leaders from Latin America that the United States is committed to helping the region combat crime, corruption, and its economic struggles.

“We will introduce a new approach to managing migration and sharing responsibility across the hemisphere.”  A load of verbal bollix but it raises the question are we now heading into globalization vs regionalization?

If so why?

Because of the pandemic and the ongoing wars, today’s great powers have little choice but to spend their way to political stability, which is unsustainable, and or try to control knowledge that is unattainable due to technology. 

Because the internet is currently eliminating the middleman the Politicians who are in a representative democracy hence the shift to direct democracy – Popularism – with power now resides with those best able to organize knowledge.

                                         

                                          ———————-

While the Earth, the planet, will continue to go its way regardless of what happens on the surface we are unable to act collectively and never will be able to do so.

We live toward incredible times where the only constant changes and the rate of change are increasing so fast that there seems to be no meaning to life.

Not until we eradicate poverty, establish free education, set aside ideological differences, change our primary focus to the long-term care of nature and people, remove profit for profit sake Algothrims, and create a World Aid Fund that we all can invest in. (See previous posts)

Not until when we are able to separate our own perception from reality we can take the necessary measures to be happy.

Not until we all realize that we are with Climate Change currently headed to a sixth mass extinction event and that this possibility alone needs to bond our collective conscious into acting like one.  

Unfortunately, I believe, that if we aren’t now past the point of recovery, if we don’t act soon, civilization and human habitation here will be untenable.

                                      ————————

There’s no going back we are now stuck in a sad chamber of denial as those who are in power hopelessly try to ward off the apocalypse by promoting unsustainable economic growth. Our TV screens are inundated with appeals for help, while the cost of everything from health care, housing education, energy, etc is rising more than one can earn.

We must unplug our brains from smartphones and start working together in large numbers, as part of a coordinated effort to achieve change. 

Like Evolution Migration goes both ways – out and in. 

Rests assured if we continue to ignore the climate the earth will force us to go only one way, with the world passing through a nuclear war if we continue to ignore the warning signs.

If this happens humans will finally have little to no reason to fight.

What’s the point? 

                                           ————————
China faces further economic slowdown, according to future predictions.

As the Fourth Industrial Revolution forces us to think about where today’s innovations are taking us, when it comes to what our world will look like, in the medium-term – how we will organize our cities, where we will get our power from, what we will eat, what it will mean to be a refugee – it gets even trickier. 

I predict the internet will go spectacularly supernova and fifty years from now catastrophically collapse.

With the world’s superpowers thrown into chaos as they come to grip with new powers, financial slowdowns, and emerging economies it will be the start of Apple’s path to world domination. 

National leaders will find themselves under increasing pressure from their people, putting a strain on inter-country relationships.

The main political tendency will be away from multinational solutions to a greater nationalism driven by divergent and diverging economic, social and cultural forces with technology and political alining against Mega Power. With countries looking at solving their own problems before looking outward the Climate will continue to heat up.

Nations will increasingly adopt protectionist policies as well as look at ways of further securing borders, something which has already begun to take place as Europe grapples with the biggest refugee crisis since World War II.

Rising military costs, declining oil prices, and internal issues will all weaken Russia further with its inability to control the federation creating a vacuum. It is unlikely that the Russian Federation will survive in its current form.

While it remains a major economic, political and military power, the United States will “be less engaged than in the past”, with the powerhouse learning some vital lessons from history.

China will continue to be a major economic force but will not be the dynamic engine of global growth it once was,

The EU will remain hostage to the economic wellbeing and competitive environment in which it operates.

Nation-states created by the west will collapse. 

                                          ———————–

We all want to know the future unfortunately in a supposedly thriving economy we are now facing inflation as the real cost of living.

Trickle-down economics does not work. 

Social media is not simply a more sophisticated platform. Google, Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, Instagram, and Snapchat WhatsApp have turned into a gallery of Frankenstein’s monsters.

They are a new kind of assault on who we are, not just what we think.

To have great predictions, these corporations have had to amass vast quantities of data on each of us – what is sometimes called “surveillance capitalism”, trading in human futures, herding us into our echo chambers of self-reinforcing information.

In doing so we lose more and more sense of the real world and of each other. With it, our ability to empathize and compromise is eroded.

We live in different information universes, chosen for us by algorithms whose only criterion is how to maximize our attention to advertisers’ products to generate greater profits for the internet giants.

Apps allowing us to hail a taxi or navigate our way to a destination are undoubtedly useful tools. But being able to find out what our leaders are really doing – whether they are committing crimes against others or against us – is an even more useful tool. In fact, it is vital if we want to stop the kind of self-destructive behaviors.

Advertisers have been playing with our brains in sophisticated ways for at least a century. And social atomization – individualism, selfishness, and consumerism – have been a feature of western life for at least as long. These aren’t new phenomena. It’s just that these long-term, negative aspects of western society are growing exponentially, at a seemingly unstoppable rate.

We live in a world in which a tree is worth more, financially, dead than alive.

For so long as our economy works in that way, and corporations go unregulated, they’re going to continue to destroy trees, kill whales, mine the earth, and to continue to pull oil out of the ground, even though we know it is destroying the planet and we know it is going to leave a worse world for future generations.

We are more profitable to a corporation if we’re spending time staring at a screen, staring at an ad, than if we’re spending our time living our life in a rich way.

Is the human race capable of pro-actively defining, harnessing, and expressing a collective consciousness, without the need for tragic experiences?

Much of the problem is around our inability to define collective consciousness. Who are we? Who do we want to be in the future? 

I think it is time to act.

Our paths have never been so clear. More than ever, science can tell us what different socioeconomic-emissions paths will mean in terms of future temperature.

Which will humanity choose?

The world is getting smaller every day. There is only one world, and it’s made of consciousness. Matter is what consciousness does. 

NO MANDATES. A long-standing issue is that the accords generally have no clear mechanisms for mandating that countries carry out their promises. World pressure and ethical considerations have to drive most of the agreements.

So, lots of promises, but no guarantee that countries will honor them.

“Once we have ruled out the impossible, what remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth.”

Is the nature of global collective consciousness, yet another thing, such as climate change, that the population of this planet is going to happily sleepwalk towards, as it shrugs its collective shoulders and says, “Well, you know, sniff, what can you do?”

Drones hold potential for many environmental benefits but nature’s technologies and designs are more often than not far superior to our own. 

 Computers in our pockets offer huge conservation potential. 

 

All human comments are appreciated. All like clicks chucked in the bin.

THE BEADY EYE ASKS; DID GOD GIVE ADAM AND EVE A CONCIOUS OR DID THEY DEVELOPE IT ALL ON THIER OWN?

Consciousness., The Future of Mankind, Visions of the future.

 

(Twenty-minute read) 

Many moons ago the beady eye said that Adam and Eve were black and lived in Africa but never meet each other. 

Why? 

BECAUSE THEY WERE NOT CONSCIOUS OF DOING SO.

Jeremy Griffith’s breakthrough biological explanation of the human condition — ends all the conflict and suffering in human life at its source, and provides the now urgently needed road map for the complete rehabilitation and transformation of our lives and the world!

Here is the essence of Griffith’s theory :
 
The human condition began when a conflict arose between our instinctive orientation and the need for our developing intelligence to experiment with self-management. We have a genetic orientation towards ideal, i.e. selfless behavior. This is our conscience.

He explains that when we humans developed a conscious mind some two million years ago, a battle unavoidably developed between it and our already established instincts. 

Now I have to admit that I have not read his book Freedom nor am I a member of the World Transformation Movement (WTM) but I have listened to his Utube videos in which he argues that we don’t suffer genetic opportunism-driven animal conditions but a psychologically troubled human condition that can be cured.

Is he right?

No one is born with an unforgiving insistence that they or others conform to any kind of ideal.

Consciousness is a fascinating but elusive phenomenon: it is impossible to specify what it is, what it does, or why it evolved.  Apparently, nothing worth reading has been written on it up to now – his book 

                                           ——————

We appear to be conscious beings, but atheists tell us that this is just an illusion.

We all have a sense that we’re responsible for our actions; but, we’re told, this is not so and, in reality, our ‘moral choices’ are simply determined by the brain chemistry of our genes.

I say to have realism one must be consciously aware. In other words, if we were not conscious we would not have this psychological condition or indeed exist in the first place. 

Even secular philosophers acknowledge that consciousness appears to transcend science and naturalistic explanations. Not only can they not explain it, but they can’t even define it.

                                  ————————

So the questions are: 

Why do we and the universe exist in the first instance?    

Where did our consciousness come from?   What is it?

What causes consciousness and how does it translate into the subjective experience?

Could the origin of consciousness, exist before the formation of the brain?

If our genes are in the control, there is no need for a conscious.

Could our conscious be live after the death of the brain?

origin consciousness thumbnail

Quantum physics begins to entwine the origin of consciousness with ourselves. It suggests that instead of consciousness computing the physical world, perhaps the physical world is relaying consciousness. 

Take the double-slit experiment recording electron patterns on a recording screen.

By having a conscious observer seeing the path, the outcome is changed. So consciousness alters particles in the real world in a measurable way.  

Does that mean that a unifying theory of physics between quantum and relativity could be consciousness itself?

Throughout the ages, some of our greatest minds have probed this question and struggled to find answers.

In short, there’s no answer to this question.

Modern neuroscience has so far failed to discover a part of the brain to explain human consciousness.  

                                        —————

Today, different disciplines offer varying definitions.

There are generally two sides of belief in the definition of consciousness.  

One is very simplistic. It describes it as the result of a product of electric signals in your brain.  

The second has a grander view that consciousness exists on planes of matter beyond our human senses.  

The most popular theory of the 21st century states that, while consciousness has moral and social importance, it’s likely just the byproduct of neural processes of the brain.

There are two fundamental characteristics of consciousness: sensation and desire. 

Robots and computers carry out complex tasks but feel no sensations or cravings. Therefore, they don’t possess consciousness.

People have no way of knowing how consciousness is created or if artificial intelligence will one day gain the power of consciousness. 

After all, if consciousness is truly the byproduct of neural pathways and electric currents in the brain, what’s stopping the same development from occurring with wiring and circuit boards? 

According to Turing, if the subject can’t determine which is the person and which is the computer, then the computer should be considered sentient.

However, the future cannot be known for sure. 

In fact, many animals can pass a modified version of the Turing Test. While this doesn’t prove consciousness, it strongly suggests that animals likely experience consciousness similarly to humans.

In conclusion:

Now I fully acknowledge I am not an expert in the fields of physics, chemistry, biology, or theology but I believe I do have a good understanding of basic science and the human mind. 

I say Jeremy Griffith’s is wrong.

I think he has taken this plausible scientific question and bastardized it with a lot of mumbo jumbo and spurious assertions.

Anything we have done is in the past and cannot be changed, thus it is pointless to do anything else but accept it. No regrets or guilt.

While our actions can harm others, our thoughts and emotions, in and of themselves, never can.

While emotions sometimes drive actions, those who completely accept their emotions and allow themselves to feel them fully, have more choice over how they act in the light of them.

The basis for loving behavior towards others is the ability to love ourselves. And loving ourselves unconditionally means loving ourselves exactly as we are at this moment.

This might seem to be complacency, but in fact, the natural activity of the individual is healthy growth, and what holds us back from it is fighting with those things we can’t change and the free thought and emotional experience which is the very substance of that growth. Indeed Jeremy Griffith’s solution seems to think that women have no input as its men that are the cause of  

History shows that no matter what humans do, we can never change them, hence absolute world peace is impossible.

Why?

It is important to accept that many things don’t happen for a “reason” or as part of some “higher plane.” into an unknowable future.

Humans have no idea who they are as a result of their actions are the cause of word instability.

The universe exists for us only in our brains and minds and instability is not something that you touch hence cannot be solved by physical means.

No one can ever truly know our conscious experience or feel our pain no matter how close we are to them.

 Each time a new generation comes it has to learn from the experience before it can accept certain philosophies of life. Meaning is considered a purely human invention, not something that is inherent in the universe or our lives. Thus, in an intrinsically meaningless universe, it is up to people to create meaning for themselves.

If one accepts the existential realities of a godless human condition, what can one do to make peace with it?

Our ability to ponder our own thought processes, recognize our own mortality, and still, be able to imagine future scenarios and make plans for them is what makes us human. 

It seems, therefore, that physics is the engine that produced and drives the universe.

It will inevitably create chemistry which, in turn, will eventually create biology that will evolve and change over time.

In this view, human life occurred on this planet due to nothing more than the random but inevitable behavior of matter and energy-producing atomic, physical, and chemical processes that lead to life. There is no creator, no design intelligent or otherwise. Just the unavoidable processes of matter and energy mindlessly and meaninglessly obeying the laws of physics. Where awareness emanates from consciousness which seems to be an energy or movement of particles, that transfers between two existences.

Hence, in the grand scheme of things, the human condition is just like that of all other organisms. An existence is driven by the biological imperatives of survival and reproduction.

Where does this electrical stimulation come from?

You could say, in contrast, that the Bible provides a wholly satisfactory framework upon which to build an understanding of human nature but the universe, it seems, is utterly indifferent to human happiness.




World peace is possible but not one which is orchestrated by humans.

 

 

Industries such as the agricultural industry reject his claim.

By maintaining that animals don’t possess consciousness, they can continue to disregard the emotional and social needs of their livestock. For example, if a cow isn’t conscious of its surroundings, a farmer can argue that keeping it in a narrow stall isn’t cruel because the animal will have no emotional response to its experience. 

A neuron itself is incapable of experiencing consciousness. The brain as a whole could be considered a minimal unit. But the ‘seat of consciousness’ could be broken down further.
 
The origin of consciousness could occur before birth and the creation of the brain. Within the undiscovered dimensions of the universe.

Now it’s up to you. So, to armor oneself against the existential razor wire of simply being,

Take responsibility for one’s actions and their natural consequences; create an illusion of meaning and purpose in life, and accept the unpredictable and unknowable inevitability and permanence of death, then one can make peace with a purely secular existence.

The biggest core problem I see is that our society is now way too big and complex for either our intellect or instinct to cope with. Intellect and rationality are NOT necessarily capable of addressing every real-world problem.

The solution is unlikely to come from such simplistic reasoning and research as conveyed by this movement. (The World Transformation Movement (WTM)

Those videos did not come across to me as showing any real new insight into the real problems we confront. They seem a bit confused, with some less than accurate assumptions about ‘human nature, to me.

For me, Jeremy Griffith’s breakthrough biological explanation of the human condition is projecting his own inner confusion and sense of conflict onto everybody else as though he has had a ‘revelation’ as to how to address it. With all due respect, he needs to take a proper look at humanity and the world it lives on. 

Spare me the biological determinism. It is not a psychologically troubled human condition that is the problem it’s the coming Climate Change. The continuing inequality and Profit for Profit’s sake.

The way we understand ourselves and our world is always evolving. From instinct to intuition to intellect, part of being human is using multiple ways to gather and utilize information.

In our outdated materialist worldview even with technological advances, science has not yet revealed everything about how reality works, and humanity’s promise – to ourselves, to each, and to the planet – has not been fully realized.

Our future demands that we explore our inner space with the same rigor and ingenuity as we explore our outer world. Our technology must increasingly be infused with the wisdom that comes from personal inquiry, and the lens of science must be applied to the further reaches of human potential.

This, for the survival and thriving of humanity and our planet, is one of the most important endeavors of our time.

In the end, it is our thoughts that will change the world.

“The idea of universal consciousness is no ethereal New Age concept;

It’s a hardcore scientific reality, and harnessing it has the potential to transform our world,” says the fictional Dr. Katherine Solomon in Dan Brown’s book The Lost Symbol. She continues, “I promise…if we as humans can grasp this one simple truth…the world will change overnight.”

So where do consciousness and the quantum mind leave our definitions of the world and human origins?
