wow :)
well , first, thanks for the vote (and in the meantime apologies to everyone i havent replied yet ... i accidentally broke my vow of silence and my intention to distance from steemit for a bit on seeing mister Cliff post, i havent seen it in a while and its on my checklist/autovoter i wrote here)
Which, apart from my clear opinion on the matter and current state of affairs shows a few of the underlying issues arising from what i call observers paradox, the bit in there, well, let's say : ask 10.000 americans and/or britons to voice the same thing and then count how many use the word "hashing", make sure you have a decent pool that comes from all sides and you'll see part of what im trying to explain there. It's not an insult but its a fact, arising from observers paradox, that a lot of upper-people here dont really have touch with the crowd OUTSIDE the niche they so desperately try to reach.
And now, Erika, lol sorry - the article, as usual, is very impressive . There's a lot to say for it but i think first of all its pointless to consider the divine as if it IS , then it is of a magnitude that's larger than the universe itself, which makes it even further away from us then the ant would look to us (which it doesnt i suppose since we're of a magnitude that's way beyond them, we're just like trees or other obstacles, only moving, or something, i mean its just as pointless to ponder the thought of the ant as it would be to say "alien life would this or that" because the very meaning of the word means that we CANT hope to comprehend it.
Also, divinity is not just immortal, it's all-powerful so if there was no point to living it could just as well end itself which it does or doesn't do ?
It does look like "god has abandoned the world" if you look around but id say its slightly preposterous to think and entity of divine magnitude would take intrest in one little planet just as much as it would notice one little human. From that magnitude one human is probably the same size as one planet : invisible unless specifically looking for it through a divine electron microscope (or similar, heh)
I had this thing on quanta earlier this week or yesterday too. My question more like "Does the quantum exist?" which is more or less the same than is the world quantifiable but not quite i guess. Its a very important "bit" (literally) as
if the quantum DOES exist the universe is digital but if, as according to all theoretical mathematics up to date it does NOT (there is an infinite number of points between any two give points no matter how close or far they are - that's the b*tch of theoretical science lol , its almost like believing, so infinity is maybe hard to grasp but it IS used - i think for instance if you want to propel anything with mass at the speed of light you would need an infinite amount of energy - so einstein never said cant do, he said needs infinite , thats what i like to say to make physicists throw a fit anyway) and i lost where i was euh let me scroll up.
Ah yea ... so if the latter is the case then the universe is analogue and we will never to a "resolution" at which we can observe it at its very core (the quantum so to speak) so its just an endless journey deeper down the fractal (yay Benoit) only to find you're just deeper down the fractal, lol.
Very inspiring and well-written as alway, id say you should put that stuff on medium too and get some love for it but you probably already do and me ...
well i was gonna radio-silence for weeks and i will try again and i certainly dont want to end up at 20 rc on mister Goldman here as i need the daily posts to go on as the game itself slowly develops.
So i dont know where the quick reaction came from ? there's a saying here if someone spits hellfire "they can hear the thunder in Köln" so maybe you did ;-)
have a nice day and if you dont hear me for a few weeks i will certainly scroll down to try and get everyone who replied back
I may be come back to this reply of yours later on. I accidentally found you this morning on Tim Cliffs blog as I was thinking about the Steemit platform and how it maybe go on in the future. There I found your comment and gave you a vote. I haven't read it to the fullest but thought it deserved a treat from me :) Here you can see my own comment to Tim:
