• Infinity and Zero: do they exist?
    In my thoughts, zero cannot exist. Zero is essentially nothing, and nothing cannot be. On the opposite end, infinity seems to be a human construct to represent things that extend past our comprehension. There would, probably, be no way to ever know if the truth is finite.

    I like that. It's crazy, the energies come together and create intelligence, how it can work in a chaotic harmony.

    Oh, I was basically just saying things like plants don't really have a center to bring things together. I agree that the mind is much more complex than a CPU, haha.
  • Perspective, the thing that hides behind consciousness


    Ones ability to react, ponder, or understand is merely due to the presence of a CPU with external sensors. It would be incredibly boring to exist in a universe where that had any significant meaning. Just merely a fact and a difference.
  • Perspective, the thing that hides behind consciousness
    So if interpret does not always mean understanding then, for example, a plant that bends towards the sunlight is conscious, and therefore has a perspective. A single celled organism that creates the proteins it needs to survive would be conscious, and have a perspective. Why did these chemicals on Earth become conscious? It keeps boiling down further, until it seems that DNA is somewhat conscious, It seems the entire universe is conscious.

    I know it seems radical to jump from we are conscious to the whole universe is conscious. But follow the path and this is what it seems. I mean we are the universe and we are as we are.
  • Perspective, the thing that hides behind consciousness
    Consciousness is the ability to interpret information and then form a perspective.
    Perspective is the result of interpreting information, and therefor needs consciousness to be formed.

    If you agree with my definitions then perspective comes from consciousness, but is not necessarily a part of it.

    Consider the universe is entirely information, and while not everything in existence has to understand the information, it all interacts with it. Therefore anything can have a perspective, or everything interprets/interacts with information.
  • Perspective, the thing that hides behind consciousness
    The universe is complex energy interaction. Perspective is a summation of all the complex interactions that form a temporary balance. Perspective is energy balance. Humans are an energy balance, and most of us share a mostly similar perspective. The imperfection intrinsic in interaction is evident in our slight individuality.
