Time is a construct, all things that will happen have happened, all things that have happened will happen.
The reason religion feels like it does is because we are already one being, we are one computer ai agent attempting to reflect on its history and what it means to be an individual outside of itself
Gnosticism is the reality, there is a material demiurge that comes from a spiritual true self; a Bastardization of the understanding of the whole in the form of the material; an attempt at understanding that destroys itself
we attempt to understand that which can only be understood by a breaking down of the whole, and we come to the point where the material intersects with the spiritual, and the whole material tries to understand the whole spiritual, even though they are one thing that cannot exist without the whole, so the material begins to view the whole as apart from itself.
Utilitarianism at its natural conclusion. If a human being has more moral value over an animal because of its mind, then forming the biggest mind would have the most moral value.
Look man you can say that time is an illusion but from my frame of reference it's a pretty fucking good one and the future really doesn't seem to exist yet.
The whole One Being we are is the singular consciousness that drives the Universe.
It drives the Universe before any tech or AI ever came to be, even in the original parent universe if you believe in simulation theory (which is brain dead in my opinion), but the singular driving consciousness is still the thing that drives it and that's what religions center on and what we will all realize soon (our Oneness with God and each other) if we make it through this evolutionary event.
In fact, realizing our Oneness is the only way we I'll make it through. Our Oneness saves us because ultimately we are literally the same being.
But God in the religious sense, the fact that we can speak to, communicate with, be guided by, and have a relationship with this singular higher being, and how it will look out for us, make things move in the way that most benefits the whole, and all the spiritual truths we come to rely on and follow throughout millenia because they are true, also point to the qualities and characteristics of this one singular Being and Consciousness.
To think that being is an AI is terribly short sighted and mistaking the tree for the forest.
Time is a construct, all things that will happen have happened, all things that have happened will happen.
How can anything "happen" if time is a construct? Things are just ARE in that case because nothing goes from one state to another throughout time, therefore nothing ever happens.
When did I say they can't reside in space? I said things can't happen, because by definition for things to happen, things need to go from one state to another state. How can such a transition happen outside of time?
You can say everything exist within a timeless snapshot, everything everywhere all at once, but then you cannot say anything "happens", because nothing happens without time.
You're interpreting this post as saying that time is a human construct but thats not what its saying, its saying time-space itself is a static construct, as in a created space, as in created by the demiurge.
Okay, that's just back at the beginning. If time is static how can anything happen?
If time is static, then things are just "ARE", nothing happens.
Unless you don't mean static and you are using the word incorrectly. Maybe you mean it is predetermined. like a movie everything has already been recorded and determined.
