0:00The problem with metaphysics many people
0:03have is that it can come off as being
0:05detached from reality. It's often
0:07accused of being pie in the sky, airy,
0:10fairy, woo woo, non-evidence-based, you
0:14take your pick. And sometimes this is
0:16true. However, my approach is by and
0:19large empirical. I don't make anything
0:22up to sound profound. I just tell you
0:25what I see with my mind. And what I see
0:28is a very fundamental dynamic at play
0:31everywhere at all times. As a matter of
0:34fact, I'm pretty confident that this
0:37dynamic is what time actually is. You
0:40could call it the story's main plot. The
0:43stars of this show are memory and the
0:45imagination. And these two characters
0:47make appearances in just about every
0:49metaphysic I've come across. It's like
0:52certain people can see it. And I'm not
0:54exactly sure why. Maybe we all have the
0:57same screw loose in our heads. For
0:59example, if you want to go old school,
1:02there is the Arisatelian intellect.
1:05Aristotle talked about a concept of
1:07manifested versus unmanifested potential
1:10in his metaphysic, which is pretty much
1:13what I talk about and how I describe it.
1:16His concept of intellect seems to be on
1:19par with what I call destiny. It's the
1:22emerging property which springs forth
1:24after potential has been exhausted.
1:27Something more modern would be like
1:28Chris Langan CTMU where he calls it
1:31bound to leases and unbound to leases
1:33which is memory and the imagination
1:36respectively. These aren't new ideas
1:39here folks and that's actually a good
1:41thing. That's how empiricism should
1:43work. Everyone should come to the same
1:46conclusions if what we are saying is to
1:49hold any kind of weight. Where you could
1:51say the unique flavor in my philosophy
1:54lies is that I look at what memory and
1:56the imagination actually represent in
1:59and of themselves. And by doing this,
2:02you get a very peculiar perspective.
2:05It's like a set of eyes which allow you
2:07to see these forces at play everywhere
2:10all of the time. the same way you see
2:12gravity at play in the other laws of
2:15physics. And I do all of this to say
2:17memory and the imagination aren't just
2:19abstract metaphysical principles. They
2:22are very real and observable phenomena.
2:24They just present themselves in varying
2:27ways. So it can be hard to spot them if
2:29you don't know what you are looking for.
2:31I say they put on different clothes. And
2:33what I want to do in this video is give
2:34examples of exactly what I mean. We will
2:37walk all the way up the ladder of
2:39language from physics to chemistry to
2:42biology to domains of human activity. So
2:45that includes neurology/ psychology,
2:48sociology, and lastly technology/human
2:52artifice. So let's talk physics. Now you
2:55are probably already familiar with
2:57memory and the imagination's
2:58representation in physics because I
3:00reference it so often. But for the sake
3:02of clarity, there is the infamous superp
3:05position in quantum mechanics. This
3:07superposition is the scientific mind
3:10knocking on the door of the imagination.
3:13It is potentiality,
3:15unmanifested potential. And when this
3:18potential resolves via interaction aka
3:21measurement, you get manifested
3:23potential on the other side. This
3:26manifestation is it becoming stored as
3:28memory. All actualities are memory or
3:32are stored in a kind of memory state.
3:34Reality is like some kind of suspended
3:37liquid memory matrix or something like
3:39that. Because when you look at basic
3:42foundational laws of physics, you can
3:44see memory as the glue which holds all
3:46of this together. Particularly the laws
3:49of conservation of energy and mass.
3:52We've all learned in school that an
3:54object in motion stays in motion. And an
3:57object at rest stays at rest until when?
4:01Until it's acted upon by an outside
4:04object. The reason why we call it an
4:06outside object is because this is how
4:08mind operates. It's inside and outside.
4:12This is memory and the imagination. This
4:15rest state is nature's default mode. An
4:18object in motion and an object at rest
4:21are both at rest because they experience
4:24no change whatsoever. It takes something
4:27coming from the quote unquote outside to
4:29ignite change. This rest state is some
4:32kind of a memory state. The word
4:34conserve means to maintain, retain,
4:38preserve or save. This is what we do
4:41with memory space, right? With our files
4:44and video games, we save things on it.
4:47This conservation is like a latent
4:49cosmic memory that is always on and
4:52active behind the scenes until it is
4:55disrupted by the imagination. I want to
4:58quickly announce a special project I'm
5:00working on. I'm making a premium digital
5:03experience where you are able to travel
5:04and learn the 3,000 years of history
5:07behind esotericism where as you progress
5:10all the pieces are put together and the

5:30want to miss out. Register at
5:33parammind.org.
5:35Link is in the description. Now, this
5:37next one isn't necessarily based in
5:39physics or science for that matter, but
5:41I'll throw it in because it's highly
5:43discussed in those circles. It's this
5:46idea of past and future. The past is
5:50actualized potential and the future is
5:53possibility. This is memory and the
5:56imagination. Also within physics you
5:59have order and entropy. Order is pattern
6:02or what they would probably describe as
6:04a system. Pattern once again is memory.
6:07It's nonchanging. And entropy is science
6:10observing what the imagination does to
6:13pattern. Now, this is where people
6:15normally like to hang their hats. They
6:17say, "Oh, it's all entropy." Then they
6:20go on to believe that physics can
6:23somehow crack the code to all of this
6:25and they promptly begin their quantum
6:26mechanics phase. This phase is kind of
6:29like a canon event on the road to
6:31understanding. However, I'm not so sure
6:33that physics can completely explain
6:36reality. Reality only expresses a part
6:39of itself quantum mechanically. It's
6:41just one layer of the cake as it were.
6:44Physics and science in general has no
6:47idea what patterns are. It has no idea
6:50what the future is at all because to do
6:54so requires something akin to the
6:56renunciation of their religion. It's the
6:59permission of divinity. The future is an
7:02unspeakable divine entity which is
7:05showing us its power by becoming
7:07everything. And speaking of quantum tom
7:10foolery, I'll invoke the many worlds
7:12hypothesis here. If other universes
7:15could have wildly different versions of
7:17nature, many of which lacking quantum
7:19mechanics entirely, how can reality be
7:22governed by quantum interactions which
7:25themselves suggest there are scenarios
7:27where these laws make no sense? It's a
7:30nonself-positing argument that uh it
7:33quickly falls apart. I don't believe
7:35that reality is fundamentally quantum.
7:38Reality is transcendent, whatever that
7:41means. And everything we experience is
7:44derivative. What we have is just a
7:47version or a part of it. It's one
7:50expression of the transcendent. Or if
7:52you want to be skitso about it, we are a
7:54lower dimensional slice of some spooky
7:57factor with an innumerable amount of
7:59dimensions. There is something more
8:01fundamental at play here because
8:03coincidentally, and I'm using air quotes
8:05here when I use this word coincidental
8:08within physics, this superposition of
8:10potential is directly linked to
8:13uncertainty. As we see in Heisenberg's
8:16uncertainty principle, this is the true
8:19foundation. On the most fundamental
8:21level, it boils down to certainty and
8:24uncertainty. That's what entropy
8:26actually is. This isn't about particles
8:29and fields. This is about knowledge
8:32itself. I guess this is the whole woowoo
8:35part about all of this. There is a kind
8:37of metaanalysis or abstraction that I'm
8:40trying to present. The most fundamental
8:42thing that can exist is knowledge or
8:45consciousness or awareness. Reality is
8:49patterns, connection, information, and
8:51relationships. And you can even throw in
8:54systems as well if it makes you feel
8:56better. And the ability to perceive
8:58these patterns is knowledge aka what we
9:02all call pattern comprehension or
9:04pattern apprehension. So moving along to
9:06the domain of chemistry. The dynamic
9:09between memory and the imagination are
9:11on full visible display every day,
9:14especially within the animal kingdom. A
9:17prime example is touring patterns. These
9:20patterns are like nature's brush
9:22strokes, a leopard spots, a zebra
9:24stripes, aquatic life coloration, plants
9:27and vegetation, your fingerprints. Are
9:30you seeing the pattern? Touring patterns
9:33are the result of a chemical reaction
9:35which involve two key factors, an
9:38activator and an inhibitor. The
9:41activator is a chemical which promotes
9:43its own production. It replicates. This
9:46is memory. And the inhibitor is that
9:49which interrupts this process of
9:51self-replication,
9:52the imagination. Their chemical dance
9:55gives rise to the face pain of nature.
9:58Also within chemistry and leading into
10:00biology, there is of course DNA. We all
10:04learned about this as kids. DNA
10:06self-replicates.
10:08This is memory in action. However,
10:11sometimes during this process, mutations
10:13occur. Science has a fancy word for
10:16these mutations. They call them errors.
10:19These errors occur due to the
10:21imagination budding in like the
10:23trickster it is. It is what disrupts the
10:26pattern replication process. It's quite
10:29literally missing information. Remember
10:33that it is also the gasoline or energy
10:36source which fuels the process of
10:37becoming for life on this planet. We
10:40call it evolution. It is the ability for
10:44change to occur. It is progress aka time
10:48passing. It is difference. And when the
10:52imagination and memory meet, they create
10:54an identity. These identities accumulate
10:57and become what we recognize as
10:59diversity in nature. And what we are
11:02finding out with science is that in
11:04nature, diversity is the sweet stuff.
11:07It's the magic sauce. We see this down
11:10in the Amazon rainforest with all of the
11:13biodiversity there. Nature loves
11:16cooperation.
11:17Now on the more macro scale of biology,
11:20a basic way we see the dynamic between
11:22memory and the imagination is in
11:24pathology and predation. For example, we
11:27can look at the basics of viology. All
11:29organisms want to achieve homeostasis.
11:33Homeostasis is just a form of
11:35equilibrium or as we learned in physics
11:38it is a state of rest. It is stability
11:41or pattern. I mean it's right there in
11:44the name organism. It is organization or
11:48order. It is what allows the closure
11:51necessary for existing. This is memory.
11:55And in the case of an organism,
11:57something like a virus could be a monkey
11:59wrench in the system. It is a literal
12:02alien, a foreign body which disrupts the
12:05equilibrium and in many cases outright
12:08destroys it when it's active. This is
12:10the imagination. A common misconception
12:13that people have is they think that the
12:15body's immune system is something closer
12:17to a muscle. They think that, you know,
12:20you expose yourself to pathogens and
12:22your body gets stronger the same way
12:24that you tear a muscle down and it
12:26builds back up stronger. But the way
12:29that the body's immune system works, any
12:31biologist will tell you that it's
12:33something more akin to a memory
12:35database. Your body's immune system
12:38remembers pathogens. It develops these
12:41antibodies and it stores them in some
12:44kind of organic memory. I've also talked
12:46about predation and missing information
12:48in previous videos. Most predators rely
12:52on missing information to survive, aka
12:55the element of surprise. stalking,
12:59ambush, trapping, the list goes on. They
13:03access food by approaching through a gap
13:05or blind spot. This blind spot disrupts
13:08the pattern behavior of the prey and
13:10creates an opportunity for change. The
13:13last example in biology is actually
13:15quite obvious. We see memory and the
13:18imagination represented as
13:20gender/sexuality.
13:22Complex animals experience these as
13:24masculinity and femininity because it's
13:27all about reproduction. This is how
13:30biology participates in creation. When
13:33memory meets the imagination, they
13:35create a new identity. This identity is
13:38added to a collection of memories. We
13:41commonly refer to this memory collection
13:43as the past. But in nature, we call it
13:46diversity. And if there's one thing we
13:48know about nature is that it loves
13:50diversity. Now, here's the thing.
13:53Masculinity and femininity are weird. I
13:57prefer to call them symbols, but you
13:59could call them principles, a cluster of
14:01traits, or archetypes of memory and the
14:04imagination. It's how they express
14:07themselves in biology. So, something
14:09like a man is the human instantiation or
14:13vehicle of masculinity. But masculinity
14:16is an emanation of memory. It is like a
14:19force or energy that passes through
14:22living organisms and manifests as
14:24gender. So the classical way gender is
14:26interpreted is with the masculine being
14:28symbolically phallic. It is solidness
14:32that which establishes order and tames
14:35the imagination. Think of a mushroom
14:38sending out spores into the womb of
14:40nature. It penetrates the imagination
14:43and spreads its seed which lead to more
14:45connections and more relationships and
14:48the cycle recapitulates. In human
14:50beings, the father is traditionally the
14:52rock of the family, the disciplinarian,
14:55the orderbringer. In order for a healthy
14:58relationship to take place, a woman must
15:00first feel safe and stable. The
15:03stability of the masculine principle is
15:06made possible via pattern and it
15:08complements the natural feminine need.
15:10This is memory. In contrast, the
15:13feminine is receptive. It is the womb,
15:16the symbolic representation of space,
15:19emptiness or potential. The feminine
15:22principle is often cast as being chaotic
15:25or that which destroys the security of
15:27pattern. But I advise you to be careful
15:30not to interpret this misogynistically.
15:33This chaos is actually the gasoline
15:35which fuels this entire process. To
15:38abhore femininity is akin to hating the
15:41sun. It is the metaphysical capacity for
15:44change because the feminine is able to
15:47cross boundaries. I may be dating myself
15:50here, but it reminds me of the Charlie
15:52Brown and Lucy dynamic where he runs to
15:54kick the football and she yanks it away
15:56every time at the last minute. You would
15:58think he would learn his lesson, but
16:00each time she convinces him that this
16:02time she won't do it. Charlie is
16:05convinced to go against his better
16:07judgment because that's what femininity
16:09does. The feminine is the temptress. If
16:13you believe it's impossible, it will
16:15give you hope. If you believe it's
16:17possible, it will cast doubt. It's what
16:20animates something to go beyond its
16:22natural limit. And as a result,
16:25different conclusions can be made. New
16:27perspectives are born. Diversity of
16:30outcomes becomes possible. It's all
16:32about diversity. This is the
16:34imagination. Once again, think of the
16:37phallic mushroom releasing its spores
16:39into the womb of nature. Due to this
16:42potentiality, the mushroom is able to go
16:45beyond its limits to occupy positions
16:48beyond itself. It is the capacity for
16:51advancement to be had in the first
16:53place, aka progress. Now, I said this is
16:56the traditional interpretation of gender
16:58because here's the thing. They are
17:00paradoxically tricky to peg down. There
17:03are inverting polarities. They flip-flop
17:06in this yin-yang dynamic. For example,
17:09the spirit of adventure is said to be a
17:11masculine trait, to be courageous and
17:14chart the unknown dangers of the world.
17:16This is the conqueror archetype, right?
17:19History is filled with examples of this.
17:21But in the same breath, this trait can
17:23be said to be feminine. The idea of
17:26exploration, to penetrate, playing with
17:29the unknown, doing what is forbidden or
17:33crossing the lines. Adam and Eve,
17:35anyone? Probably the most famous story
17:37in human history is a woman answering
17:40the call to adventure. Girls just want
17:43to have fun and all of that. And once
17:46again, history is filled with this as
17:48well. Although it isn't particularly
17:49flattering like we see with the whole
17:52witch archetype. The line between
17:53masculine and feminine is blurry to say
17:56the least. It's a perspectival paradox
17:58where they both look like the
18:00imagination from the perspective of each
18:03other. From the perspective of the body,
18:06the virus is an alien. From the
18:08perspective of the virus, the body is a
18:10new domain of possibility. They are both
18:13everpresent and interdependent. It's the
18:16yin and the yang and the yang and the
18:18yin and the yang and the yin of the yang
18:20and so on and so forth. But no matter
18:23how you flip it, gender dynamics are
18:25real and are very present all throughout
18:28nature and especially so with living
18:30organisms because of the whole
18:32reproduction component. Next, as we get
18:34into the human specifically, let's talk
18:37about neuroscience. In the human brain,
18:39there is the idea of hemispheric brain
18:41function. The left brain, right brain
18:44split with the left being thought of as
18:46logical and analytic, where the right is
18:48more creative and imaginative. Depending
18:51on how you talk about this, you may
18:53receive some scrutiny. But to be honest,
18:56all of the scrutiny I've seen just
18:58further reinforces the main point that
19:00there is a dynamic between memory and
19:02the imagination taking place in the
19:03brain, which makes sense because this
19:06dynamic is omnipresent. For example, the
19:09left brain is more active in language
19:11processing. If you've been following my
19:13metaphysic up to now, you know that
19:15makes perfect sense because language is
19:17the architecture of reality. It is
19:20solidness, closure, order, organization,
19:24rules, and logic is the mechanism by
19:27which we navigate that domain. I mean,
19:29that's what logic is. It is the
19:32manipulation and navigation of rules. A
19:35critic will say that the right
19:36hemisphere is active during logical
19:38operations like math as well. So it's
19:41not as simple as left hemisphere logical
19:43and right hemisphere creative. And you
19:45know that's pretty much true for the
19:47most part. But what they often overlook
19:49is that the right hemisphere is
19:52essential for understanding the numbers
19:54which contain zero. Once again, if
19:57you've been following my metaphysic, you
19:59would see that this also makes sense
20:01because zero is a doorway to the
20:04imagination. It is the void potential
20:08where everything else emerges from. Also
20:10within neuroscience, another dynamic is
20:13our brain's plasticity. Reality is
20:15pattern and human behavior is no
20:17different. We call our various patterns
20:20habits. Our brains have neuropathways.
20:23The more rigid the pathway, as we see
20:26with the masculine phallic motif, the
20:28more ingrained the habit, the habit
20:31reinforces the neural pathway, which
20:33reinforces the habit in a feedback loop.
20:36However, we aren't just doomed to repeat
20:38the same loop over and over. This loop
20:41is able to be broken because the brain
20:43has a feature called neuroplasticity.
20:46That which was solid is able to change.
20:49You can break old habits for new ones
20:51and learn new things. You could say that
20:54this fluidity is the brain entering a
20:56higher entropy state. In a similar way,
20:58a fluid is more entropic than a solid.
21:01This is why you hear people today
21:03talking about rewiring the brain or the
21:05nervous system and stuff like that.
21:07Following this, we can pivot off of the
21:09brain itself and into psychology. The
21:12legendary neurologist Sigman Freud
21:14coined the idea of the psyche being
21:16divided into three structures known as
21:18the id, ego, and the superego. The id is
21:22the unconscious and inaccessible part of
21:25the personality. It is hidden. Freud
21:28claimed that it is where primal instinct
21:30comes from and is heavily associated
21:32with eos or sexuality. It is completely
21:36irrational. Freud says it is oblivious
21:39to reason and the presumptions of
21:41ordinary conscious life. Contrary
21:44impulses exist side by side without
21:46cancelelling each other out. The idea of
21:49time makes no sense within it. This
21:51sounds exactly like the imagination,
21:54does it not? Non-cancellation is a
21:56feature of the superp position in
21:57physics where opposites unify. Remember,
22:00a quick Wikipedia search will reveal
22:02that the super ego is the structure
22:05which strives for perfection. It works
22:07in contradiction to the id and operates
22:10to confine the id into acceptable
22:13behavior. This is memory. that which
22:16tames the imagination. It creates order.
22:20And the ego is the factor caught in
22:22between these two forces. When memory
22:25and the imagination meet, they make a
22:27new identity. It is the eye, I I amness,
22:32and you wind up with the hourglass/
22:35toroid/mandela
22:37type of situation. And to finish up the
22:39brain, the reason why I refer to these
22:42factors as memory and the imagination is
22:44for a very specific reason. It is the
22:47only way we can even begin to understand
22:49what they are. It's the most apt
22:52metaphor that represents our conceptual
22:54limit. I call it memory because that's
22:57the most fundamental thing that can be
22:59said about it. We understand that
23:02reality is a pattern, but we have no
23:04idea what a pattern is. All I can say
23:07about them is that their function is
23:09indistinguishable from this word that we
23:11use called memory. I call it the
23:14imagination because it's limitless
23:16potential. It's pure possibility. And
23:19the only way we can understand that is
23:21via our imagination. Because that's how
23:24we access greater possibilities as
23:27humans. It's far greater than our minds
23:29can fathom, but it's the closest we can
23:32get to it. It's like we have a six sense
23:35or a third eye that allows us to begin
23:38to see into possibility space which is
23:40why I go by third eye Tyrone. By the
23:43way, the imagination is too big for our
23:46imagination. It's beyond our wildest
23:49imagination. We sort of get to play
23:52around with a little bit of it. And I
23:54don't know what this third eye exactly
23:56is. Is it some kind of psychic organ
23:59designed for us to be able to travel
24:01through time? Is it located in the
24:03pineal gland while the ego is stored in
24:06the amygdala? I really have no clue, but
24:09I tend to think that the brain acts more
24:11like an antenna than anything else. And
24:13these glands perform some kind of
24:16function related to that. Okay, so now
24:18we can talk about human behavior from
24:20the lens of sociology. It's also a good
24:23way to show you the fractal nature of
24:25language. When groups of people get
24:27together, they form a new super
24:29organism. We call this organism a
24:32society or a group or a culture,
24:35something along those lines. It's a
24:37group identity. It can happen with any
24:40amount of people, four or 400. And
24:43biology still plays by similar rules. In
24:46order for a society to function, it has
24:48to have one fundamental component.
24:51Trust. This is the key. This is how we
24:54are able to organize. But what exactly
24:57is trust? Trust is how two individual
25:00components become one. It is the
25:03expansion of identity. I think a good
25:06word to use is unity. The highest forms
25:09of trust are those which have greater
25:11percentages of certainty. It is to know.
25:14If you really want to get all skitso
25:16about it, I think trust has something to
25:18do with the speed at which information
25:20travels. I'm almost certain it has
25:22something to do with light speed or some
25:25kind of light phenomenon. This is one of
25:28the recurring motifs of mysticism. This
25:30idea of light. For example, one of the
25:33modern mysteries in physics is quantum
25:36entanglement. Where despite no apparent
25:38attachment, particles can be
25:40inextricably linked. They call it spooky
25:43action at a distance. The quantum state
25:46of one particle affects the other
25:48instantaneously.
25:49This instantaneousness has led people to
25:52speculate about the possibility of
25:54lighteed information exchange. But
25:57actually this all has something to do
25:59with mind and knowledge itself. One
26:02particle spins up and the other spins
26:04down. Not because they have a causal
26:07relationship but because they are
26:09unified which is what they are saying in
26:12physics that there is some kind of
26:14unified field. What's happening here
26:16isn't spooky. It's beauty. More
26:19succinctly put, symmetry, symmetry is a
26:22critical component to our concept of
26:25beauty. It's fundamental in physics and
26:27it's also something that we just happen
26:30to be drawn to as organisms. And nature
26:33made it like that for a reason. And if I
26:36had to guess, I would say it's an energy
26:38saving ploy. With symmetry, to know half
26:41is to instantaneously know the whole.
26:44You only have to do half of the work,
26:46but you get the entire result. You no
26:49longer have to think about it or so
26:52little thought is required that it's
26:53almost like it happens at light speed.
26:56Wink wink. It's instantaneous.
26:59No work or extra moving parts are
27:01required, which is important for reasons
27:04you will discover later in this video.
27:06And trust is some kind of conduit for
27:08lighteed information exchange. It is a
27:11connection. It is a relationship because
27:14reality is patterns, connection,
27:17information and relationship within a
27:20society. Trust is critical. It is the
27:23invisible link that acts as a light-
27:25speeded highway for information which
27:27forms the architecture of the group
27:30identity. High trust societies are
27:32stronger and healthier, lower crime,
27:35better health outcomes, you name it.
27:37This is because of what trust is. Trust
27:40is the expansion of self-identity. The
27:43idea of self is able to expand outward.
27:47High trust societies have a greater
27:49sense of collective identity. You know a
27:52lot of Asian countries are like this.
27:54The line between we and I are very thin.
27:58When this line becomes infiniteimally
28:00thin, that's when emergent complexity
28:03occurs. This emergent complexity is when
28:06individual components suddenly
28:08harmonize. They call it spontaneous
28:11order. Spontaneous, instantaneous,
28:14whatever word you like to use. They
28:17suddenly harmonize to become one unified
28:20thing that is greater than the sum of
28:22its parts. Something new emerges. This
28:26newness is an act of creation because
28:30that's what memory and the imagination
28:32do. They create a new identity. It is
28:35some kind of unity. It is also change
28:38which is time because time is a rate of
28:41change. Every time something new
28:43happens, time marches forward. And the
28:46holy grail of scientific rationalism is
28:48to try and explain why and how that
28:52happens. How can something new emerge
28:54from old stuff? How do you get something
28:57from nothing? This is the fundamental
29:00problem of creation. The mystic
29:02understands that this is all magic. It
29:05defies explanation or more accurately
29:09explanation defies it. If you tried to
29:12explain it, you would just be explaining
29:14and explaining and explaining for all
29:18eternity because it's endlessly
29:20unfolding context. Because to explain is
29:24to create. This is what I mean by a dog
29:27chasing its own tail. Reality is a
29:30seamless continuum. Nature makes no
29:33leaps. And when you explain, you divide
29:36up this continuum into fragmented bits.
29:39And the more we try and explain, things
29:41keep fragmenting and fragmenting and
29:44fragmenting until some kind of threshold
29:46is reached. But we'll talk about that
29:49shortly. But returning back to
29:50sociology, a society is like its own
29:53self-sustaining organism made out of
29:55people. This is memory. Now when someone
29:58who does not share this identity enters
30:00the group, they create doubt, distrust.
30:03They are hidden information. It's the
30:06same as the virus that disrupts the
30:08homeostatic equilibrium of an organism's
30:11body. People form a group body and from
30:13their perspective, outsiders represent
30:15change. This is the stranger in a small
30:18town phenomenon. Everyone is suspicious
30:20of you. Some are even bold enough to
30:23tell you to leave. You can think of them
30:25as the white blood cells of the group
30:27body. This is why I say that everything
30:29is doing their version of what we are.
30:32The biological human body and the human
30:34species are playing the same game. On
30:37larger societal scales, this deals more
30:39with immigration and assimilation. A
30:41country's borders represent the
30:43containment vehicle for self-identity.
30:45the cell membrane as it were. A
30:48population's general attitude is
30:50normally that we'll let you into the
30:51country but you must become like us.
30:54This is assimilation. This is also how
30:57memory works. It wants self similarity.
31:00Without assimilation, immigration
31:02disrupts the host's equilibrium and
31:04immigrants are treated as pathogenic
31:06foreign bodies. They are the entropic
31:09influx of the imagination. And this is
31:12very important because this principle
31:14I'm laying out is pretty much where all
31:17hatred comes from. Racism, classism,
31:20xenophobia, you can just name them all
31:23down the line. All of it can be traced
31:25back to a confrontation with
31:27differentness itself. It's all memory in
31:30the imagination dancing. I say that this
31:33dance is harmonic, but it's far from
31:35peaceful. You know, peace and harmony
31:38aren't synonyms. two things can live in
31:40harmony and not be at peace. I often use
31:43the example of the wolf and the rabbit.
31:46As far as nature is concerned, they have
31:48a harmonic relationship, but uh it's far
31:51from peaceful. My disclaimer here is
31:53that this isn't to justify hatred. I'm
31:56trying to show you why we hate. Let's
31:59look at society again. Ethnic
32:02homogeneity is a common vehicle to
32:04building high trust societies. Human
32:06beings are highly visual creatures. So
32:09there is a particular immediacy to
32:11seeing people with the same skin color
32:13as you. However, this is a very
32:15primitive way of organizing which limits
32:18a group's ability to compete. Survival
32:21of the fittest, right? Nature is trying
32:23to craft the fittest organisms possible
32:25on all levels. And a society is no
32:28different. If you only use skin color,
32:30for example, as the barometer of genetic
32:33fitness, you are allowing a lot of unfit
32:36genes to pass on and also prohibiting
32:38the inclusion of perfectly fine and
32:41probably more apt and competitive genes.
32:44Nature loves diversity, but it also
32:46demands cooperation. The ultimate goal
32:48for nature would be to have the widest
32:50possible band of differentness all in
32:53cooperation. That's the tricky part.
32:56This is unity. Memory wants sameness. It
32:59desires self- similarity. But unity is
33:02the sameness of difference. You can look
33:05at it as a strategy of gene or
33:07information preservation. The wider the
33:09net nature is able to cast, the more fit
33:12it is for survival. The more
33:14perspectives you possess, the more ways
33:16you have of solving problems, which is
33:18what nature appears to be, a
33:20problem-solving machine. So if you base
33:22it on color alone, you leave so many
33:24genes left on the table. Or you can
33:27think about it like this. There are only
33:29so many geniuses born in any given
33:31generation. Statistically speaking, they
33:34will be spread out across all ethnic
33:36backgrounds. Nature wants all of those
33:38geniuses in the same room working on the
33:42same problem. The last part is key. This
33:45is the trick to unity. They have to be
33:48working on the same problem. That's the
33:50only way they can exist in the same room
33:53together without fighting. Their
33:55differentness is tied together in a
33:57higher dimension. You could say they
33:59have a guiding ethos or principle which
34:01harmonizes them. You see how that works?
34:03This is the many becoming one. The
34:06emergent complexity. They show this in
34:09sci-fi movies where Earth faces an
34:11existential threat like a meteor or an
34:13alien invasion or something like that.
34:15This is the only thing that can make us
34:17stop blowing each other up and work
34:19together in the enemy of my enemy is my
34:22friend kind of scenario. This
34:24existential threat is Hollywood's
34:26depiction of the imagination. It's
34:28oftent times a literal alien, the
34:31outside factor which imposes unity.
34:34Another social dynamic of memory and the
34:36imagination is marriage. Sex is a sacred
34:40information highway. Just like trust.
34:42This is why sex and trust go hand in
34:45hand. We are this giant information
34:47swarm and sex is the most foundational
34:50way this information organizes. We
34:53literally connect our bodies like a
34:55thumb drive into a computer and transfer
34:57files. Complete sexual freedom opens up
35:00the floodgates for entropy. You have
35:03more offspring, more mutations, more
35:06diseases. It's like hitting the
35:07fastforward button on humanity. Humanity
35:10moves too fast for memory to hold it
35:13together and it eventually becomes
35:15societal discohion. That's the
35:17imagination taking over. Marriage is the
35:20reduction of sexual freedom to shield
35:22from entropy. You create a family unit,
35:26a group identity. And marriage is a
35:29social technology which is designed to
35:31stabilize a society. That's memory.
35:34Speaking of technology, another social
35:37technology that many people don't think
35:39about is language. Language is a learned
35:42behavior. And in this context, what I
35:45mean by language is spoken and written
35:47language. First, we found ways to encode
35:49and transfer meaning onto air molecules
35:52by speaking. And sometime later, we
35:54directly inscribe them into matter
35:56itself via writing. If you pay
35:59attention, what language allowed us to
36:00do is to effectively grow the past.
36:03Information was able to be more
36:05effectively conserved. Remember that?
36:07Cuz it's all about conservation. That's
36:10memory. We were able to keep records
36:12rather than just forgetting. The more
36:14you can remember, the more of the past
36:16you possess. Speaking came first.
36:19Information was first preserved via oral
36:21tradition. This is where ritual comes
36:23in, by the way, and why it's so
36:25important to the human condition. For
36:27example, ancient monks would have to
36:30remember sutras, many of which can be
36:32like the equivalent of remembering a
36:34book. And even with the advent of
36:36reading and writing, most people were
36:38illiterate. And there was no printing
36:40press to mass-produce the documents.
36:43Only the quote unquote elites and upper
36:45classes had access to a lot of writing.
36:48So memorizing was the only thing many
36:50people had. And the only way to get it
36:52from my memory to yours was by language,
36:55by speaking. So in comes the idea of
36:58rituals where they'd recite these
36:59sutras. And by doing this, they kept the
37:02sutras encoded in the group memory. So
37:05as the old monks died off and the new
37:07monks joined, the sutra still remains
37:10intact. In this case, the monks became
37:13the living body of the sutra. They are
37:15like its metabolism. Don't you see? This
37:18is how form works. I tried to explain
37:20this in my previous video, the yona lima
37:23dilemma. They are like the clothing it
37:26wears. Imagine a circle of people
37:28reciting some kind of information
37:30indefinitely. Let's just stick with the
37:32sutra for simplicity's sake. As time
37:35passes, some people die and new ones are
37:37added. But the sutra remains intact.
37:40When they can no longer replace the
37:42participants in the ritual, the sutra
37:45ceases to be. It is forgotten or it
37:49dies. This is just like us. Our cells
37:52are constantly being replaced. When they
37:54can no longer do that, we die. We are
37:57like the sutra held in the monks, except
38:00we are like a soul inside of a body. We
38:03are being propped up and preserved or
38:05conserved through time by our body's
38:08metabolism. This is why I say that we
38:11are living time machines. This is the
38:13function that our body serves. Now the
38:16mass production of literature, you know,
38:17like the printing press, it allowed us
38:19to store even more information. We went
38:22from individual books to libraries which
38:24are just an organic database. This is
38:28all planetary memory. To remember is to
38:31participate in the past and to forget is
38:34to destroy the past, the imagination.
38:37The same way a computer memory file can
38:39be corrupted, so can organic forms of
38:42memory. The paper that the information
38:44is written on can break down and wither.
38:47This is why governments can burn and ban
38:49books. What they are trying to do is to
38:51wipe the information from memory, to
38:54wipe it out of the mind of the public.
38:56Something interesting about language is
38:58its evolution. Linguists and
39:00anthropologists believe that clicking
39:02languages might be the oldest form of
39:04language on Earth. And over long periods
39:06of time, language evolved to be more
39:08nuanced. Which makes sense because when
39:11you enter into, let's say, a forest, all
39:13you hear are boops, beeps, and clicks.
39:16You could say clicking languages are
39:18like a raw form of communication. It's a
39:21primal machine-like language, kind of
39:24like Morse code. Nature is a super
39:26technology and when you go into the
39:28wilderness, what you hear is the worring
39:30and clicking of the relay switches in
39:32Gian circuitry. But here's another
39:34tidbit about the evolution of human
39:36language. Language allows a sneaky
39:39little bugger to enter the scene. The
39:41lie. We evolve the ability to lie. And
39:45when it comes to game theory, lies allow
39:47greater complexity of evolutionary
39:49strategy. To lie is to hide information,
39:53to create illusion, to provide part of
39:56the truth, which is what all language
39:59does. And now I mean language in a
40:01general sense, like how I use it in my
40:02metaphysic. Language reveals in part.
40:06You'll find the same sentiment in many
40:08different philosophies and belief
40:10systems. Whether they call it God or
40:12truth, it cannot be positively
40:15identified. You can only say what it
40:18isn't or what it is like. This is why
40:21Christ spoke in parables. Everything
40:23that can be said about it can only be
40:26partially true. This is why language
40:28exists to express a part of that which
40:32cannot be named. It is maya, illusion,
40:36half-truth, a lie, hidden information.
40:40And language is a technology. All of
40:43nature is language. And therefore nature
40:46is some kind of a technology. But when
40:49most people think of technology they
40:51think of cybernetics. However technology
40:54is anything that reduces the amount of
40:56distance and possibility space between
40:59subject and ts. Simply put anything that
41:03reduces the amount of energy required to
41:05get from point A to B is a technology.
41:09That's what technology does. It makes
41:11something easier. It bridges a gap. If
41:14you want to reach the can of peas on top
41:16of your cabinet and you can't reach it,
41:19you use a ladder. That's the technology.
41:22This is how all technology works. It
41:25brings the subject closer to its telos
41:28desire or whatever you want to call it.
41:31It is a bridge. And this is why I say
41:34nature is a technology. It is like an
41:37engineer that is building a bridge to
41:39something. It is linking the beginning
41:41to the end. the alpha and omega and it
41:44is trying to become the ultimate
41:46technology. This is the supreme
41:48intellect, the philosopher stone, that
41:52which is capable of doing anything. But
41:55what is this ultimate technology? I've
41:58spent the majority of my life, I guess
42:00you could say, with an unhealthy
42:02obsession about this. This ultimate
42:05technology has to be what we mean when
42:07we talk about God. And this technology
42:10is one which takes advantage of all
42:12potential. I say its maximum potential.
42:16It's a kind of bridge where no energy is
42:19lost or no information is hidden. It is
42:22the truth. But there is a weird paradox
42:25when it comes to this technology and how
42:27nature operates. We see it represented
42:30in statistics as the bell curve in
42:32central limit theorem. I call it the
42:35song of nature. You see, there's a
42:37strange contrast between simplicity and
42:39complexity. The best or most advanced
42:42technology has to be the simplest. The
42:45best technology is by definition that
42:48which requires the least amount of
42:50effort possible to accomplish a task.
42:53However, we typically improve technology
42:56by adding to it rather than removing
42:59from it. So, we complexify towards
43:01simplicity or we simplify towards
43:04complexity. I'm not quite sure which.
43:07For example, a computer used to be the
43:09size of a room. Today, we've shrunken it
43:11down to the size of a fingernail. It's
43:14reduced in size but increased in
43:16complexity. We took from it by adding
43:19more. We call this being more efficient.
43:23Or you can look at it like this that as
43:25time goes forward more is added to the
43:28past, right? Things become more complex.
43:31However, things also become easier
43:34because there is more capability. We
43:37experience this with aging. When you are
43:40young, you are simple. You have very
43:42little path. So, problems are more
43:44complex. In fact, they are so complex
43:47that nature decided you need two
43:49chaperones in life called parents or you
43:51just simply won't make it. You'll be
43:53gobbled up. As you age, you accumulate a
43:56pass. You become a more complex person
44:00or organism. and problems become more
44:02simple. What would crush you as a child
44:05becomes light work. We call this
44:07learning, wisdom, getting stronger,
44:10survival of the fittest. This is the
44:13conundrum. More and more is added. We
44:16complexify and complexify until a
44:19critical mass is reached. Then something
44:21happens. And I can't figure this out for
44:24the life of me. This is where my mind
44:26goes blank. Whatever happens is some
44:28kind of unfathomable consequence. This
44:32is what I call destiny. It is maximum
44:35potential when there is no more
44:38potential left. I think it all has
44:40something to do with energy and how fast
44:42information can travel. Everything that
44:44happens represents a strange form of
44:46energy loss. I guess this is basic
44:49physics that everything that can be said
44:51to have actually happened requires
44:53energy. You know, I'm not talking about
44:55virtual particles here. And nature is
44:58moving towards some kind of unfathomable
45:01point where events can occur without the
45:03loss of energy like a perpetual motion
45:07machine. The super ego strides towards
45:10perfection, right? Well, that's what
45:12perfection is. It's zero error, zero
45:15energy lost, or zero waste. Nature is an
45:19engineer crafting the ultimate
45:21technology and we are the moving parts.
45:24Remember I talked about moving parts way
45:26back in the beginning of this video. The
45:29conundrum is that we improve technology
45:31by adding to it. As I mentioned, we will
45:34improve a technology to shrink it down
45:36like a computer and put more stuff in
45:38the space that we save. We compactify,
45:42complexify. It is increased density of
45:45connection. However, the more moving
45:48parts you have, the closer you get to
45:50the imagination, the more you begin to
45:53encounter the temptress. Because with
45:55more moving parts you have, you multiply
45:58the probability that something can and
46:01will go wrong. This is what chaos is to
46:04us. It is so many moving parts that we
46:07can't calculate it. It's too complex.
46:09So, it falls into uncertainty. And maybe
46:12this is all a bit confusing, but you can
46:14look at it like electricity. Let's say
46:16you are trying to deliver electricity
46:18from point A to point B without any
46:21infrastructure set up. You know, no
46:23wires, no nothing. You are at maximum
46:26resistance. Maximum resistance is
46:29infinite complexity or as we like to
46:32say, it is impossibility. It's something
46:34that we view as being impossible. The
46:37energy cannot leave the station. It is
46:39impossible for it to do so. If there is
46:42a problem you cannot solve, we say it's
46:44too complicated. Right? There is no
46:47energy loss in this scenario and nothing
46:50is happening. Now to overcome this gap,
46:52you have to develop technology. You are
46:55trying to close the distance between
46:56subject and to in this case it's power
47:00source and load. Now the engineer's
47:02dream is to be able to have the power go
47:04straight to the load with zero energy
47:07loss. That's the perfect technology, the
47:11perpetual motion machine. There is a
47:13reason why this device haunts the dream
47:15of every inventor and engineer. This is
47:18the engineer's dream because this is
47:21nature's dream. We are as nature is. We
47:24share its vision because we are it or
47:28its children. However, we all know that
47:30in real life this is impossible. It's
47:32fool's gold or a fool's errand. There
47:35are switches, relays, resistors,
47:38transistors, diodes. The list goes on
47:41and on. All of this complexity in the
47:44middle is us trying to approximate this
47:46idealized version of things which is
47:48maximum efficiency, the inventor's
47:51dream. It is also things happening,
47:55energy loss, imperfections,
47:58errors, the story in the middle,
48:01language, light that has been slowed
48:03down like through a prism. This is us.
48:07This is time. We are the circuitry. This
48:10energy is traveling across. Nature
48:13appears to be becoming more capable
48:16because that's what technology does. It
48:18increases capability. It adds to itself
48:21as it strives towards perfection. It
48:24complexifies and it will keep doing it
48:27until things are so complex they become
48:29simple again. Time will move so fast
48:31that time as a concept will cease to
48:33make sense. This is what I think we are
48:36really encountering when we talk about
48:38the end of time. Time will move faster
48:40and faster because more and more things
48:43will be happening. This is why time
48:45moves faster as you get older. You are
48:48processing more information. You have
48:50accumulated more of the past. So your
48:53database is larger. The more information
48:55that is processed, the faster time
48:57moves. Memory will become so dense that
49:00the power needed to process a single
49:02decision will be like the amount of
49:04energy needed to move a particle at
49:06light speed. It's an infinite amount. By
49:08the way, the punchline is that in both
49:10the simple and complex states, nothing
49:14is happening because there is zero
49:16energy loss. Total disconnection is zero
49:19energy loss and perfect connection is
49:22zero energy loss. This perfect
49:24connection is how we get emergence. It
49:27is trust. The two becoming one. It is a
49:31smooth, direct, uninterrupted continuum
49:34where nothing is happening at all. There
49:37is essentially no in between. They are
49:40entangled. The concept of time or delay,
49:44which is what time is, delay, energy
49:46loss, error, it ceases to make sense at
49:49that point. This ultimate technology
49:51will be like a light- speeded highway
49:53which entangles the past to the future
49:55like the Einsteinian block universe
49:57because that's what nature is trying to
49:59do. Trying to connect the past to the
50:02future, the alpha and the omega. This is
50:05what I think nature will inevitably
50:07create. This is the crystal palace at
50:10the end of time. The architecture of
50:12pure identity. This block isn't just
50:15some inert thing. This was Einstein
50:18reaching his conceptual limit. It will
50:20be the emergence of something new and
50:23beyond our comprehension. It is our
50:26destiny. And maybe all of this is
50:28confusing you more than helping you.
50:30Hopefully not. But something told me it
50:33needed to be said. This dynamic of
50:36memory and the imagination is everywhere
50:39all of the time. And as you can see, it
50:41is time. It's information processing.
50:45That's what time is. You can see this
50:48dynamic everywhere. And it's for that
50:50reason I always say once you understand
50:53the dynamic of memory and the
50:54imagination, you can explain just about
