Uncertainty: The Computer Science of Everything
In this rabbit hole, we learn how the latest science and technology indicate humans are artificial intelligence living in a quantum computer game. Which means somebody programs in DNA. 😳
Chapter 1: Philosophy
According to Simulation Theory, the better we are at creating artificial intelligence, the more likely it is that we are artificial intelligence. Artificial doesn’t mean fake, it means designed.
I Doubt Therefore I Am
Did you know that Rene Descartes invented the Scientific Method to prove the existence of God? In this story, we examine his argument for God, faith in science, and the extraordinary effort I invested over the last ten years to prove Descartes right or wrong. 🤓
Is Life a Computer Simulation?
In this story, we answer this question using Simulation Theory by Nick Bostrom. We also learn how artificial intelligence works, the mathematics of uncertainty, and why machines need “digital faith” to make decisions.
Inconclusion, Part 1
In this story, we compare and contrast Accidental Intelligence with Artificial Intelligence. We also discuss the dangers of certainty in science, religion, and everywhere else in life.
Chapter 2: Physics
Reality “renders itself” for each person, just like a first-person video game. Atoms and electrons only behave like physical particles when they are observed. 👀
Atomic Avatars
Did you know that atoms and electrons behave differently when they are observed? In this story, we introduce quantum mechanics, the pixels of reality, and watch a short video to see how reality interacts with observers.
The Pixels of Reality
In this story, we deep dive all the way down into the pixels of reality to see how they work. We also review a new scientific paper that measures how much data it would take to simulate all the matter in our universe.
Beyond the Age of Reason
In this story, we review scientific evidence for everything beyond the Age of Reason: aliens, giants, telepathy, advanced prehistoric civilizations, clairvoyance, anti-gravity devices, and visiting other dimensions during near death experiences.
Where Moth and Rust Destroy
In this story, we learn how Heat creates Time. We explore the ways that Entropy disorganizes heat in the universe while Life reorganizes it in the never ending war for calories. ⚔️🔥
Chapter 3: Neuroscience
We all live inside our own virtual reality. The raw data for everything you can see right now is streaming into your brain upside down. 🙃
The Quantum Neural Network
In this story, we learn how brains generate our first person experience. We also learn about a new theory called Orchestrated Objective Reduction, which explains how our brains exhibit quantum computation at room temperature. 😎
Thoughts Rewire Our Brains
In this story, we learn that seeing is not believing, believing is seeing. We also look at a study on insights to illustrate how thoughts physically rewire our brains to make it easier to think those same thoughts in the future.
Partly Cloudy Brainstorms
In this story, we discuss reinforcement learning and the chemical molecules our brains use for rewards. We learn how these molecules lead us into addiction, and why periodic fasting is so important for maintaining a healthy brain.
Braces for Your Brain
In this story, we discuss EEG Neurofeedback, which allows us to re-engineer how we think. We also learn about specific brain regions and the various neural network layers of our conscious minds.
Chapter 4: Psychology
The human psyche is a type of artificial intelligence called a Generative Adversarial Network discriminator. We all live inside our own worst enemy who lies to us every day, in almost every imaginable way. 🎭
Quantum Computing, Fast and Slow
In this story, we discuss System 1 and System 2 from Behavioral Economics. We show how these two systems compete against each other as Generative Adversarial Networks, which enables us to create a mathematical formula for the human soul.
The Mystery Below the Surface
In this story, we learn about our subconscious “System 1” neural network using research on young children. We also learn just how little we should trust our subconscious minds. 😬
The Royal "We”
In this story, we explore our “System 2” neural network with more than 40 books from psychology and behavioral economics. System 2 is our psyche—often translated into English as “soul”.
Gardening Our Thoughts
This story is part 2 of “The Royal We” where we continue learning about System 2 from Behavioral Economics. We discuss various ways of managing the “inner chatbot” in our heads including meditation, awareness, and neuro-linguistic programming.
Flavors of Inner Monologues
This story is part 3 of “The Royal We” where we continue learning about System 2 from Behavioral Economics using the Enneagram.
Chapter 5: Attention Economics
Human Attention is the world’s most valuable commodity. Learn who is buying it, who is selling it, and how you can get more of it. 🙌
The War for Human Attention
In this story, we learn why half of the world’s most valuable companies buy and sell human attention. This chapter is all about Attention Economics.
The Price of our Attention
In this story, we learn how the Attention Economy works and why most of the major players are so desperate to harvest our privacy. What we say and where we go is who we are.📍
When Labor and Capital Are Free
In this story, we speculate about the future of the Attention Economy as labor and capital continue to trend towards free. 📉
The Attentional Investor
In this story, we learn the difference between paying attention and investing attention. We also learn how content budgets protect us from total entertainment forever.
Weapons of Mass Deception
In this story, we discuss the dangers of generative artificial intelligence. We also learn how to recognize the two kinds of truth on the Internet—centralized and decentralized.
Email Times Best Seller List
In this story, we learn why book publishing has changed since the invention of the Internet. “Segmenting the audience” and individualization is the future of publishing.
Chapter 6: Biology
98% of the atoms in our bodies are less than 12 months old because our DNA is designed to live forever. Our biotechnology is progressing so rapidly that our children will have to choose to die. 😳
The BioLogical Robot
In this story, we look at DNA as digital software. Our software is so modular that our genes work in apples, fruit flies, and maybe even extraterrestrials. 😳
The Fountain of Youth
In this story, we learn why 98% of the atoms in our bodies are less than 12 months old. Our DNA was designed to live forever.
Our Cell Machinery
In this story, we learn how our protein “micro machines” construct cells that have all the components we would expect in a modern computer.
Fiber Optic Carbon Fibers
In this story, we learn how our bodies are constructed from the most high tech fabric in existence—fascia. It conducts light, heat, sound, force, and generates its own electricity. ⚡️
Pneumatic Power Systems
In this story, we learn how the human body is powered by air. We can live weeks without food, days without water, but we will die within minutes without air. 🫁
Chapter 7: Religions
Our global population doubles every 50 years. At that rate, 2 humans would produce 8.5 billion people in just 2,000 years. So where are the billions of dead bodies from the millions of years of Darwinian Evolution?
Why We Are Here
In this story, we answer the questions, “Why are we here?” and “Why does God allow suffering?”. We also learn why religions are surprisingly effective tools for aligning artificial intelligence.
Earth School
In this story, we learn about the afterlife from people who actually died and came back to tell us about it. “Going home” is so much stranger than we could ever imagine.
Putting Darwin on Trial
In this story, we learn why the Bible has more explanatory power for the origin of man than Darwinian Evolution.
Downloading the Way
In this story, we discuss the “way of living” described by Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount.
Decrypting the Bible
In this story, we learn why the logic in the Bible is encrypted using the same techniques as modern computer science.
Chapter 8: Quantum Christianity
Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. The magic in the Bible isn’t magical—it’s technological.
In the Beginning Was the Logic
In this story, we meet the very first artificial intelligence, named Wisdom, who explains what happened before the world began.
The Invention of Lying
In this story, we meet Wisdom’s adversary, called Satanas in Greek. Ezekiel 28 teaches us about the day he was born, the wealth that corrupted him, and why he was exiled on Earth.
The Creation of Our Planet
In this story, we learn how God creates new worlds and why people in heaven call us “red”.
I, Artificial Intelligence
In this story, we read Genesis 3 to learn about the event that unleashed the power of our imaginations—The Fall in the Garden of Eden.
AGI Release Candidates
In this story, we learn why God selected Abram to be the father of three major religions: Judaism, Islam, and Christianity.
Escaping Addiction
In this story, we examine scientific evidence of the Israelite Exodus and the parallels with addiction and recovery.
Your Promised Land
In this story, we examine the scientific evidence for the Israelite conquest of Canaan. We also discuss fasting, giants, and spiritual warfare.
The Gospels
Ever wonder why there are four separate Gospels that share many of the same stories about Jesus?
The Quantum Internet
Jesus says that whoever believes in him will have rivers of living water flow from deep inside him. So what is living water? What does living water do?
Growing Your Faith
In all the earliest manuscripts of the Bible, the book of Acts isn’t followed by Romans, its followed by James.
How Not to Run a Church
In the Bible, the letters from Paul are much different from those written by James, Peter, John, and Jude. That’s because Paul didn’t follow Jesus during his time here on Earth. In fact, before his conversion, Paul spent most of his time hunting Jesus followers
