So I never really posted what I believe in religious-wise. Not in the last five years or so anyway. With the last post and Easter coming up, I guess it makes sense to stick this in here.<\/p>\n
I don’t really believe in anything in particular. I don’t believe any religion is 100% right, but I think parts of them, big or small, certainly can be. I think there is some sort of higher power. Not necessarily a personal God, but more like a universal balancing force, kind of like karma. Maybe it’s just physical, like gravity and the other forces that are explained by physics, but I like to think there’s something equal for spiritual things as well. Or maybe they aren’t spiritual, but they are physical things we just don’t fully understand yet.<\/p>\n
Everything is relative. Good things are only good because bad things exist. We know something’s good because it isn’t bad and vice versa. And you can make something bad good, by looking at it in a positive way. There’s this lovely balance in the universe that keeps everything running smoothly. To me, it’s too elegant to not be thought of as spiritual. <\/p>\n
I’m not explaining this well. I never explain anything well. Life would be easier if I could just open up my brain and go, here, OK, see what I’m thinking? <\/p>\n
Or maybe if I just let everyone read all the philosophy papers I’ve ever written. Most of them are about AI, but also what the line is that separates unconscious machines from us. We are just machines after all. Beautifully complex machines, but just machines. <\/p>\n
Do humans have souls? Can machines have souls? What is a soul? I don’t know, do you? Maybe love is all chemicals, maybe it’s something more. Maybe when I look into Princess’ eyes and I see something there, it’s just my human brain being really good at recognizing emotion, or maybe it’s something more.<\/p>\n
I fight with my computer all the time, does that mean it’s conscious? Sometimes I wonder… I know it’s not, but that doesn’t stop me from talking to it like it is. I don’t believe in ghosts, but that doesn’t stop me from jumping every time I hear a noise when I’m alone in my apartment.<\/p>\n
So what do I believe in? I believe that life, consciousness, music, math, love, physics.. are all absolutely amazing. However the universe was created, if it big banged its way in, if some being put it here, if it’s all just in my head, however it came to be, it’s just brilliant and contains many things that are far beyond what we as humans can understand.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
