You support a principle of relativity. Why not a principle of absolutism? You support the abolition of a spatial aether. Why not support the existence of a non-spatial aether? You believe that things can be stationary. Why not that they must be in a state of absolute motion? You believe that space and time are the proper stage in which reality should unfold. Why not in a Singularity of non-space and non-time? Is that not a mind, even a “Mind of God?” Don’t you want to hack the Mind of God?
You think everything should be about particles in a void, as the ancient Atomists said. Why not waves in a Singularity? Waves are dimensionless “atoms” with an atomic number of zero. You think everything should be about matter, with atomic number of one and greater. Why are you so afraid of zero? Why does it torment you so? Why shouldn’t everything start with light – massless, and maximally length contracted and time dilated? You think everything should be about science. Why not about mathematics? You think everything should be about the senses. Why not about reason and logic? Should the scientific method start with exercising the senses or exercising reason? What kind of “rational” subject begins by claiming that something else – sensing – is more important than reasoning? Welcome to science!
Science told you a story about sensory stuff. And you believed it. Why shouldn’t concepts be truer than percepts? Why shouldn’t mind be truer than matter? Why shouldn't reality be a self-solving intellect rather than a lurching, mindless body, blind and dumb? Why are you so scared of belonging to a smart universe? Why do you prefer reality to be stupid? What does that say about you ?
Why is eternal and necessary mind rejected in favor of temporal and contingent matter? Why is a priori thinking rejected in favor of a posteriori sensing?
Why shouldn’t light be the master of the show? The light of reason. Light is reason. It’s the carrier of the cosmic intellect. Do you have good reasons for what you believe? Do you really even know what you believe?
Why shouldn’t mathematics have an ontology? Why shouldn’t mathematics exist as light, as waves, as dimensionless sinusoids with zero mass and atomic number zero? Why are you so horrified by reality being made of mathematics, existing as light?
There is only one subject that has the capacity to provide a definitive answer to existence. That’s mathematics. All the rest is shinola.
You can only work out what the answer to existence is by understanding what subject can actually deliver answers. Only one subject is quintessentially an answering subject – math. Get with the program. If you’re not on the side of ontological mathematics, you’re against existence having an answer! Well, are you? Do you believe that existence is the ultimate mystery? Then you are definitely not on the side of reason and logic. You are claiming that existence is not rational and logical, and reason and logic therefore cannot penetrate its secrets.
Terence McKenna said, “I loathe Science and am always keen to attack it in most situations, though not here, because I love Reason and I’m perfectly aware of the difference. I also know what a concept means like Rules of Evidence. I’m not sure that’s a concept as widely circulated in these circles as it needs to be – in other words, how do you tell shit from shinola? That’s very critical. … So there you have it. A problem that’s so bad that the very mention of the word ‘mathematics’ produces aversion reaction that is paralyzing. ... the great evil that has been allowed to flourish in the absence of mathematical understanding is relativism. And what is relativism? It’s the idea that there is no distinction between shit and shinola. That all ideas are somehow operating on equal footing."
