As I was travelling in the car I observed the ditch beside me move behind me far faster than the ditches way ahead of me. This made the cocept of parallax clearer to me instead of the side-ditch being compared to the trees further away in the horizontal direction. Yet a forward example of parallax could only be understood in the context of a virtual world where everything moved faster. Evil can be a form of moral anti-realism in countering other forms of evil. Hence an evil person could actually outclass a moral person at morality itself by opposing a greater number of evil people. Yet the difference is that those persuing extreme lesser evils might appear more intense than natural. So maybe an evil person who accidentally does good might be unbeknownst anti-realists in their perception. If everyone is metaphysically equal under God then evil people might compensate ethical people in a way that's too absurd to be noticed. This might explain why some rebels prefer a byzantine look:

An instinctive way for a materialist to understand anti-realism is to interpret the solar system through philosophy rather than the optics of astronomy or the maths of astrophysics or theoretical physics. Anti-realism is essentially a science of spirituality. Chemists in lab coats might not appear mystical. Yet scientists could be perceived as shamanic in a capitalist way. The extreme boredom of mundane science class was a form of evil that was actually in awe of the physical world!

If the physical world is 100% amoral then maybe for God in the afterlife to explain why evil exists would be to lose the arguments for ethics against a superior being. In other words maybe ethics is relevant only for the human psyche and not biology. As such maybe the more we challenge God the more we'd lose our sense of ethics rather than God punishing us for insubordination!

An artificially intelligent robot in the shape of a human might simply have the mind of a monkey! Moreover the future of ai might depend on correlations rather than theory of mind. For example we use quantum mechanics without having resolved the meaning of the quantum world. As such demanding a theory of mind to explain nervous circuits is too high a standard. Anti-realism is perfectly self-consistent so long as its basic axioms are tolerated. Air-drop bananas in enemy territory and chimpanzees with remote controlled guns on their backs could function as military terminator droids! Put cheese under tanks and you could send in suicide bomber cats!

An alternative way to conceive gravity as a euler force is that the normal force would be non-existent. That way the Earth's crust is so strong that the normal force is not only diluted into the ground but actually entirely evaporated. The weight of an object would only increase when an object is thrown where the weight would disappear again once the object strikes the ground. Without a normal force we'd need to concoct an abnormal euler force!

"In mechanics, the normal force F_{n} is the component of a contact force that is perpendicular to the surface that an object contacts."

Maybe when we think of Jesus as God Christians could interpret His miracles as telepathic over the mind rather than telekinetic over the physical world. For example Moses didn't split the sea himself and any sense of omnipotence might have been out of prophetic forecasting. Likewise Jesus's healing of paralysed people might have been a form of hyperfocus in the patient's mind rather than Jesus mastering biological evolution. Who knows if the water converted to wine by Jesus was more about forcing people to be more euphoric and meditative about the basic but vital taste of water. Perhaps when Jesus threatened to send evil people to Hell He might have resembled a calm Chinese person during the Cold War to have convinced so many Europeans of His authority!

Anyone sentenced to hell from a pantheist background will be given a fair shot at escape(!):

Apocalypto (2006): Great Escape Scene

"Be good for goodness sake".
https://www.stillwatermpc.org/dharma-topics/being-good-for-goodness-sake/
"The message in the song is clear. Your goodness must come from an inner desire to do good and not from an appearance of doing good, or you are not good enough to receive a gift!"

Ideally people would do good for no incentives at all. Yet solipsistic pantheism and afterlife beliefs are simply convenient ways to inspire goodness!

Technically the church building is meant to be irrelevant to the sermon. Yet if anyone is too unfocused then routinely attending mass in a larger cathedral might be an option. Chruch tourism sounds superficial but there's no rules that you can't go to a different church every Sunday to avoid boredom. If people don't believe in a long afterlife then the easiest way to transcend yourself in the material world might be through visiting a truly ancient cathedral or a hegemonic basilica. Maybe to truly enjoy mass in a small church you've already to be fully committed to your faith.

One interpretation of Jesus is as an arch-pantheist; the Son of God but not actually God the creator. In other words viewing Jesus as a prophet of God doesn't necessitate that the trinity of God be a combined concept. Maybe God the Father, God the Son and the Holy Spirit all exist but are fundamentally separate entities. Maybe socialist critics of Christianity might actually be Christians in disguise when some lay members of Christianity haven't taken the religion seriously. Maybe those who play devil's advocate against Jesus Himself are actually an accidentally defence against infiltrators of Christianity who end up distorting or hijacking the religion. Maybe to glorify Jesus as a creator God could a bit unethical to Jesus Himself by putting words in His mouth. That is to say Jesus not only didn't say He was God but never actually claimed to be the Son of God either. Excessively servile forms of worship to Jesus might even appear like a backhanded compliment to Jesus if they don't take seriously the need to promote their faith. In other words those who don't frequently practice Christianity but nonetheless glorify Jesus more than anyone else when they do attend mass are at risk of creating a sarcastic vibe. For example telling a humble national soccer player that their the best soccer player in the world might be unrealistic and demanding on the player even if it's well-intentioned.

We forget that many other major religions like Islam and Hinduism might not have as many members as Christianity but nonetheless have far fewer lapsed members. Hence Christianity might even be a far smaller faith than other major religions when partial agnostics are excluded from population statistics. A lack of competitiveness between rival religions might lead to complacency if Christians don't take personal responsibility for promoting a sustainable faith. We take history as inevitable even though Islam has never been beset by a Cold War in the way Christian countries have. Nor has Hinduism ever perpetrated the same level of colonialism as Christian hegemons. Perhaps in times of war and economic crises Christians might benefit from more defensive rather than submissive styles of prayers at mass. A really hierarchical version of supernatural Christianity risks complacency towards capitalistic hierarchies in the material world.

If we compare Christian mass to the education system then we'd notice the smaller the mass the greater the one-on-one attention the priest or vicar can give to the congregants. Yet if lay people aren't focused and participating in the rituals then the level of transcendence in mass might appear a bit superficial. Hence there shouldn't be any excuses not to go to mass even for low turnouts! Maybe Catholicism has to learn a small bit from the Quakers to include lay people more often into the conversation during mass!


"What kind of crazy person celebrates Noam Chomsky's birthday like it's some kind of official holiday? Why can't we celebrate Christmas like the rest of the entire world?

"Corporations have the same rights as people,

A contradiction with eternal hell is that good people would need to spend a lot of their life helping to de-escalate inter-gang conflicts and to pre-empt anti-social youths with charity in order to reduce the threat that they'd go to hell. That is to say if we viewed good people as reducing the sensation of pain through-out the world then good people would be failing to sufficiently warn evil people of hell if an afterlife was the societal belief.

The unconscious mind and our metaphysical sensory perception are very fragile. An evil individual would struggle to fully reconcile themselves with an evil act unless their society had collectively rationalised such evil for centuries. For example immorality is a human interpretation rather than a physical feature and so an immoral or perverted country will eventually descend into bored amorality after centuries. As such it's possible to infer that people who look vaguely rough or somehow fierce need more self-control compared to those who are appear traditionally tough and resilient. The definition of rough can be discriminatory and presumptuous where no one is supernatural enough to infer whether they're contemplating evil. Yet the mere fact that some people look too focused relative to their demeanour is a sign that mental aggression can leave subtle physical hallmarks.

If we took an eternalist view of time where past, present and future all exist then who knows if when we died we could go back in time and see the ancient prophets first-hand instead of them coming to us!

If we could re-incarnate backwards in time then God could have a natural version of Hell. Any major war criminals might have to spend their next life picking up heavy stones during the Stone Age!

Pantheism is like a meta-perversion; a perversion of a perversion that's no longer physical or emotional and only spiritual!

I got into the habit of not going to mass for a long time or only turning up for the last few minutes. I decided an easy way to lull me back to religion was to simply sit in a church outside of mass times. The first day I tried it I stayed for 20 minutes and relaxed on the seats. I wasn't energetic enough to pray. Yet meditation can also be passive where the religious art in a chuch can be absorb your attention. You don't even need to focus on the present moment and can let your thoughts wonder. The light from the stained windows guided my nostalgic thoughts about childhood and distant relatives. There were one or two others praying as well which helped to prevent me getting distracted with idle thoughts about getting food in the shop for instance! Standing or kneeling even without praying can still focus the mind in an empty church.

Our visual system is made by millions of photons. So even a vague mental image in our imagination might consist of thousands of phosphenes. We can't focus on the exact details of a wavy inner eye. Yet who knows if each phosphene serves a distinct purpose. Thus when it comes to free will we might underestimate the chaotic nature of internal imagery.

Maybe one reason we often don't appreciate reincarnation is out of mild amounts of xenophobia. It's natural that we're not fully grateful for the existence of another country when we can't understand them due to the language barrier. Even when they do speak our language we often hear more bad news than good news where every society has its problems. America fails to excite me in the present day with gun crime but who knows if I might truly love America again when they fix their social problems. Perhaps you'd really have to be born in another country to understand it. Maybe a world where everyone spoke the same language makes this life more boring but preserves more excitement for a reincarnated life. This might be more visible if we viewed each language metaphysically as having a distinct spiritual virtue system. Even if were rich I might feel no inclination to visit certain Asian countries because they don't relate to my worldview. Yet we shouldn't think that our reluctance to travel to a country in this life means that they won't be relevant in our next life. Libertarianism is often the coolest political philosophy where everyone is living highly armed in tax free anarchy. Yet it's clear how that would produce lots of poverty and crime in a domestic context. Nonetheless it's possible to interpret the international order as libertarian at heart where every country is fully independent of each other. It's simply because of economic trade, voluntary financial aid and tourism that we don't understand that they've total free will against our own country. After all we can't tax another country where we're all equal partners. Even when it comes to religion we might be amazed at how much more seriously it's taken in another country. I remember being dazzled on holiday by how the scenery in Croatia might have resembled the landscapes early Christians would have admired in Ancient Rome. I'm often amazed by the intense beats of individual foreign singers relative to my limited experience of life. Yet maybe if I actually lived in New York it'd be so much easier for me to relate to how the rhythm of a song was created when you've millions of multi-racial people in the background as a source of inspiration! A love-hate song can be more fanatical than either a love song or hate song in isolation:

One way to infer a tachyonic presence is if an unemotional, non-rational animal or insect detected a change in light frequency more than what their visual retina and neurons would imply.

A tachyon could be interpreted just like a normal photon except in an alternate timeline. So if multiple people view the same light beam perhaps they're all seeing marginally different frequencies of that beam. In other words the light beam contains such a huge number of photons that no one could see the exact same pairs of photons as another person. It would be as if a light beam were infinitely dense where each person's perception were probabilistic. If we viewed classical mechanics as being totally superdeterministic then each conscious being could reserve a level of free will by tachyons. Thus the sleeping brain could be viewed like a tachyonic antitelophone. The physical world of human civilizations would resemble the sumtotal of everyones dreams. There are already many analogies to explain our unique perceptions of opaque objects like a branch falling in the forest. But are we all seeing the same luminous torches?

We know that medieval people were all so violent that it's hard to think that God gave them a formal judgement at death as if there were deceased judges from a 21st century supreme court on hand. After all so many present day people would dislike the thought of meeting some of their ancient barbarian ancestors at death. When we think of a king decapitated in battle perhaps God just gave him a positive or negative eulogy, "Here lay the king of England who achieved such and such"! Then the dissociated conscious mind might just be reabsorbed back into their soul. We also know from evolution that fear is adaptive in a beneficial though counter-intuitive way. As such any atheistic fear of oblivion felt by a residual conscious mind after their physical death would actually be self-imposed rather than punitive. Perhaps if you were fundamentally amoral an alternative punishment to purgatory could be simply loneliness where your soul wanders around the dark forests and ruins of abbeys until you pass into your next life. Personally I'll have my own third person eulogy prepared for myself before being reabsorbed into the greater unconscious!

"Richard III died in the thick of battle after losing his helmet and coming under a hail of blows from vicious medieval weapons, new research has shown... Richard III, the last English monarch to die fighting, perished at the Battle of Bosworth in 1485. It was the last significant battle of the Wars of the Roses, the civil war between the Houses of Lancaster and York, and paved the way for the Tudor dynasty."

What would we think of the culpability of Hitler had he simply not being elected into power? So we wouldn't go back in time and kill him as a baby but we'd imagine him only as a thoroughly hateful opposition figure in parliament. Then we couldn't blame him as much for being a ringleader of many other evil people even if he'd the exact same evil intentions. Yet how many evil people are there in society who'd refuse to do what Hitler did had they the same power? Hence it's very difficult to objectively measure evil without reference to chance. What if Hitler was worse than the average murderer but not far off from a mass shooter like Breivik in the whole scheme of things?

A conscious being could be compared to a multitude of panspychist photons trapped between mirrors. The visual neurons in brain would essentialy function as mirrors to the incoming sensory neurons.


"A mirror neuron is a neuron that fires both when an animal acts and when the animal observes the same action performed by another."

"The infinity mirror is a configuration of two or more parallel or nearly parallel mirrors, creating a series of smaller and smaller reflections that appear to recede to infinity." Wiki

INSIDE a Spherical Mirror - Vsauce

"The constancy can be exploited to construct a special kind of clock in thought, a so-called light clock. Its operating principle is very simple: Two mirrors are placed at a constant distance from each other. A light pulse runs up and down between them. Each arrival of the pulse at the upper mirror corresponds to a “tick” of the clock."

The traditional account for why the brain is split into two hemi-spheres is to increase thought efficiency. Yet it doesn't make too much computational sense why there's so much redundancy in the brain unless it's also to protect against injury. A free-will explanation on the other hand might revolve around thought validation. So if the unconscious mind is fundamentally psychotic and irrational then the two sides of the brain can work independently and verify that an irrational conclusion on one side is matched by the same chaotic result on the other side. For example a random word salad won't sound too good against music and yet the physically equivalent sensible version of the lyrics would be more rewarding to listen to.

'Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.”' Bible

For all my talk about the risk of cynical post-dated apologies for evil grace periods it's still much harder to beat pre-emptive forgiveness before the crime was even carried out! Perhaps each of our divine judgements in the afterlife has been pre-prepared by deterministic faith systems! After all if we're not fully self-aware in a dreamy afterlife then the judges wouldn't possess as much free will as they once had! An atheist might ironically end up knowing more of Christian theology for their critique than a few lay faith-based Christians! Perhaps pantheism could serve the role of devil's advocate! Good people often joke about evil sins in a way that evil people never joke about being kind. For example we watch so many movies where good people have to contend with evil themes even though the film crew could have made a movie with moral behaviour only. Perhaps good people must always strive to be more independent in how they do good rather than comparing each of themselves as good relative to the low standard of evil people. How industrious would we be in a world with good people only where capitalism didn't even need amoral and immoral people? Let's imagine the most hateful of Richard Dawkin's criticisms of religion as them being deluded. Then the mere act of consenting to another's delusion is actually charitable! In fact viewing the delusion as being evil now creates a perverted bond which can actually be caring to fellow members of the faith! In other words a group of friends often have a shared emotional trait as a common denominator. Thus all criticisms of religion forgets that morality can be paradoxical relative to an uncaring universe. Evil criminals never think through their crimes inter-generationally where they don't want to end up back in Ancient Rome. Even Hitler never considered that his take on Arian physical supremacy neglected that the German Gauls were singled out for destruction by the envious Roman emperor Caesar. Moreover ancient combat was far more athletic in the harshness of close combat as opposed to the convenience of modern day projectile warfare. Thus all evil criminals could be dubbed psychotic and deserving of an insanity defence if we had to be metaphysically pedantic. Evil criminals within a good society don't understand the hedonism of evil war lords are an order of magintude more intense then any evil persona they could mimic. Hence if they fully understood the futility of evil then it's likely they'd never persue it as a worldview even if they didn't empathise with the victims. Society can't afford to re-enact Roman and Mongol conquests just to remind native criminals of how boring evil would be if everyone engaged in it. Yet good people are limited and humble beings and are thus entitled to discipline convicts seeing as no one is as metaphysically pure as God. If being evil can be now viewed as humble relative to the dominance of good societies in the world then good people can also be humble and apathetic about how forgiving we ought to be to evil people! Being humble in a vengeful way is a paradox when Christianity freely inherited the wealth of Ancient Rome by the contradictions of an evil empire without any Cold War being waged against Rome.

"Idolatry is the worship of a cult image or "idol" as though it were God. In Abrahamic religions idolatry connotes the worship of something or someone other than the Abrahamic god as if it were God." Wiki

If Christianity ever had to compete against radical polytheism and panentheism then Christians could imbue far more importance into humongous statues of Jesus much like the Egyptian temples!

https://www.worldhistory.org/Abu_Simbel/

"While Protestants and Catholics could agree that constructing religious statues has biblical precedent, the issue of bowing down before statues of kissing them still remains – isn’t this a form of idolatry?
Catholics hold that such acts are in no way akin to worship; kneeling down while holding a Bible doesn’t mean that one is worshipping it. In reality all of these religious images are used as theological devices to improve one’s spiritual life.
Faithful do not pray to statues, but use them as aesthetic tools to better pray to God. Any sacred art can help us venerate the saints and motivate us to ask for intercessory prayers."

It might be possible to view the brain as correlative in a fundamental way. Perhaps each thinking neuron is chaotic in the sense of being non-repeatable rather than just complex. So while the sensory and motor neurons might be more formalised perhaps the cognitive part of the brain is unknowable despite being deterministic. We'd only be able to access a small part of our perception. The role of an individual neuron would change fuction so often that perhaps the brain always has a "plastic" section to it. Viewing the brain as just being complex often fails to satisfy people when non-conscious computers are also complex. Perhaps we could say that if a neuron functions as a rational thought one minute where the same neuron equates to an emotion the next minute then the reduction is scrambed across their immanent sensory perception. Each individual neuron could be multi-purpose where unrelated qualia are superimposed. Pain and anxiety often aren't detectable in brain scans. Yet pain is the most intense of any emotions. Hence it's unlikely we'll fully work out milder emotions like curiosity and hope in the brain either. In other words there's almost no proportionality in the intensity of an emotion in a brain scan.

Sometimes a lesser evil when dealing with an unending mystery is to use abhorrent analogies. If we not only think about the mind of an animal but a really creepy one then we might infer some basics about the physical brain. A snake often has slit eyes to suggest that external light is a fundamental part of its residual being. A dualistic theory of snake's unawareness might account for no more than a single pansychist photon. We also know that a snake is irrational such that any sentient aspect of its nervous system is undefinable seeing as irrationality creates deeper layers of exponential irrationality over time. For example the irrational memory trace of a snake trying to understand its irrational environment would be incomprehensibly irrational. Thus there'll never be a repeatable, rational pattern in the snake's brain to signify any awareness. An individual snake is often a symbol of pure evil such that it's motivated only by its reward system and not by the members of its fellow species. I've a feeling God Himself will strike me dead any day soon for failing to consult Him on the mentality of animal species! The creepiness of snakes lies in their infinitesimal emptiness whereas spiders are the opposite form of creepiness in being infinitelely complex with so many contradictory eyes.

Anti-realism might sound megalomaniacal from the standpoint of a materialism. Yet consciousness has been a mystery for so long that it might be tolerable to consider lesser evils. If you were God of your own perception then how would you relate your senses to your locus of awareness?

A material benefit of anti-realism could be an enhanced interpretation of art. So many people fail to appreciate modern art even though we often love postmodern music. We simply lack the means to dissociate our visual perception in the same way music can do so for emotions. Perhaps an artist could also be more consistent in using a visual effect through the scientific themes in anti-realism. Even religious people might enjoy more immanent and possessive stained windows!

So much techno music defies the repetiveness of materialism and yet is instantly understandable:

By contrast modern art frequently gets huge criticism from pundits. Perhaps one way to connect to modern artists is by viewing each of their worldviews as foreign such that you'd have to learn the background languages before looking at their works.

If every Christian became a pantheist then Christianity itself would become a mystical folk religion!

"Folk religion is the religion of the “folk” — real people struggling with the realities of life. Folk Christianity emphasizes the experiences of Christian folk as they seek to connect their religious experience, as expressed in the Bible and the church, to the reality of their lives. In the process, people tend to rely on their understanding of who God is and what God can do for them. This produces an appreciation of the practical effects of what Christianity claims to be on the one hand (formal/institutional religion), and personal experience on the other (informal/personalized religion)." Wiley

No wonder medieval England didn't like the Celtic strand of Catholicism:
The Wicker Man Not the Bees

Pantheism might become too self-critical and growth-oriented if we all got into the habit of thinking there'll be more of God in future generations than the past. Yet we might also be able to say a system of God is conserved through time by recognising that historical people were too divided to appreciate each other. For example Buddhism might not have interacted at all with Christianity in the early stages AD. Nonetheless the fact that each religion may have been more isolated and insecure in their faith may have forced them to compensate by being more emotionally loving to their fellow congregates. Thus pantheism can be open-ended beyond belief!

An irony of being obsessed about dreaming and lucid dreaming is that it's sometimes possible to infer that someone else might have a dreamy appearence too. Yet amoral or evil people might resemble a dream in an absurd way where they're not actually interested in dreaming. Thus the violent themes in lucid dreaming runs the risk of exposing you to temperamental strangers that you befriend as you find them interesting. In other words a lot of evil-minded people are actually moral in their behaviour because of the justice system rather than spirituality. An evil experience can be so intense that even trying to be humble can be inadequate in concealing it. Perhaps an evil person could tentatively identify evil in someone else if it takes one to know one! It's a long shot but when we look at countries that have had immoral periods in their past and are currently moral that they've accidentally inherited a residual bit more adrenaline. By extension a former moral individual who became evil might be identifiable to a different heavenly soul from a similar background. So even if we view God as limited and immanent in the world that it's still slightly possible for us to guess someone's demeanour. For example an evil stereotype is often too diverse to define but often shares a certain baseline of vague intensity:

Luscius Malfoy - Chamber of Secrets - Dobby is a Free Elf

Every race is equal but is separate by hundreds or thousands of years. So if I re-incarnate I don't expect to wake up in Japan but somewhere a bit different from my home country of Ireland for a change. Yet Ireland inter-married for so long with English settlers that the idea we're genetically distinct seems a bit absurd. Truth be told an upper class Irish person who became really evil for a while and then repented may very well concoct a natural English accent! So maybe Christianity works that way where our next life will be unconsciously connected to our previous life somehow.

What if Christianity became a victim of its own success by being burdened with such a large section of the globe? We don't tend to view Jesus as being ancient even though He lived under the occupation of Ancient Rome. We only ever use the word historical when we think of early Christianity. It's safe to say Christianity would look heroic if it was practiced in only one country. We could say the same about loving America if only it remained the demure 13 colonies that it started out with. The trouble is that the earliest Christians never envisioned wars between rival Christian countries. Jesus' message of forgiveness might not look as appealing now when we're dealing with the Ukrainian war or past war crimes WW2. Perhaps modern Christians could feel more liberated in interpreting their faith relative to their regional interaction with the world. Perhaps Christianity needs innovators just like a capitalist system would while remaining committed to core Christian values like self-sacrifice, forgiveness, humility and charity. If we viewed religions by landmass rather than population then Christianity could look obscenely important to the world if everyone took their faith seriously.

It might be possible to re-interpret God the Father in Christianity as God of the physical universe while Jesus would appear to be a relative God of humans. It's a subjective and unscientific statement and yet it'd allow more Christians to embrace science. Win-win! Viewing God the Father as a 100 year-old-man might no longer relate to some Christian scientists when Jesus would already be 1000s of years old in heaven.

Pantheism might be able to cater for war veterans who demand sadistic rewards in an afterlife only if they actually defend against an evil woman who strikes first! However there'd be dramatic limitations where the sound of a head punch has to be quietened:

John Wick (5/10) Movie CLIP - Ms. Perkins Attacks (2014)

Furthermore you must leave some of the militant women alive with a word of consolation:
John Wick: Chapter 2 (2017) - Hall of Mirrors Scene (9/10)

Afterwards your soul would disappear in evil to the next life where you too would have to be killed off!

A simple way to think of an afterlife is simply of a guided prayer showing the scenery of a religion rather than just the worshippers. So perhaps we'd be guided along by a prayer that reflects the mood of certain religious sites and natural scenery. We'd obviously take prayers more seriously in an afterlife when the remainder of our consciousness depends on it! Pantheism is a bit blasphemous in being a brute force search for God. Yet pantheism is scientifically skeptical of religion in the sense of being critical rather than being dismissive. An eternity in heaven makes sense to the elderly generation but younger people tend to be less optimistic. For many young adults an eternity of happiness after death implies an endless supply of sex which doesn't seem too profound as a transcendent religion! I imagine there comes a point where you're just too happy in heaven and you've to move on to your next life! A pantheist can have faith in a transcendent God but often not an absolute faith.

The Angelus on RTÉ - 3rd June 2010 - Tomás Éire

It's hard to visualise another mind as physically existing in their brain with the same level of confidence as our sense of touch. Somehow we know that a unified homunculus in the brain isn't logically feasible. Yet a scattered homunculus over interconnected brain regions is only less illogical at best. A religious metaphor for describing the brain is as a halo of light where everyone has their own luminal perception. No matter how close we look at a person's head we can't detect a dark mini-blackhole of an altered timeline. Yet a sci-fi analogy is to think of another's mind is as another wormhole of time. The absoluteness of the physical world means we'd almost need to be devoutly spiritual to reconcile the mind with physics. I find it ironic that I write so much about lucid dreaming and yet I'd be a bit mystified by anyone else's account of their lucid dreams. Their unconscious mind is almost like an alien relative to my own unconscious! Perhaps I could re-interpret another's dreams relative to my own beliefs in free will even if they present the metaphysical function of dreaming to be different!

Anti-realism isn't at a stage to compete with science. Yet if anti-realism were collectively adopted in some form by a large group of people then anti-realism could invert science. Essentially our perception knows every single force already even if we don't understand it. For example we perceive light and gravity even though we don't consciously understand it. If we believed that a deistic God created our mind then our unconscious perception of the world isn't passive to an infinite degree. Maybe if we understood our perception better then who knows if we'd understand the external forces better. Perhaps if we resolved the neurology of touch then we'd be able to infer more about the atomic solidity of objects around us. This form of anti-realism would resemble my lucid dreaming thread about working backwards from a lack of free will in sleep to an inference that this might be ironic and clandestine. Perhaps the brain is so deterministic that actually the mind is totally independent of the body and even a residual interaction between mind and body is sufficient relative to a hysterical level of energy in the mind. However an individual would struggle to form a thorough academic subject of anti-realism without an international alliance! If we viewed God as a mystery then we could almost say that quantum mechanics is itself God! Perhaps God doesn't play dice when God is the dice itself! Then classical mechanics would really just be our own minds!

If people truly adored the concept of oblivion after death where they didn't want to reincarnate for a 100 years then it's possible that the physical universe actually needs to create collective evil for people to consider philosphical nihilism. So the creator of the physical world might have tolerated evil for more than mere biological or economic competition. It's possible that some people hate the world so much that oblivion is actually viewed as a desirable state rather than as a punishment. So we can view oblivion as a being amoral rather than as an immoral lesser evil on behalf of divine judgement. However the physical universe is eternally beyond our comprehension and so we shouldn't endorse it blindly when countless victims are killed in wars. Religions claim they dislike super-rich people in an afterlife even though their lay people tolerate capitalism in the material world. Perhaps we could say certain rich people are already in a form of heaven through conspicuous consumption in this world and simply no longer require an extension of their earthly heaven in an afterlife. So we don't necessarily have to feel bad about religion needing strict rules from the perspective of pantheism.
