And we’re using atoms in the universe to do it.
We are beings made of atoms in the universe, who are studying atoms in the universe

We should have a community called /c/originalshowerthoughts

I’ll give you a better one, we should have a community to share assumptions/theories of how we came to exist, the comments here are wonderful

When you study how the brain works you are a brain looking at a brain

We are proof we do not live in a cold uncaring universe
We are the closes system, we are the universe witnessing and caring about itself
We are an insignificant part of all there is, but that still makes us entirely a part of all there is.

Buddy I’ve got some bad news about space…it’s cold and it doesn’t give a shit.

You’re in space right now. Everything is in space.

Yeah, I know. Doesn’t help much.

The Boltzmann brain theory gives the idea that it’s more likely for a brain to spawn, complete with memories, in the middle of space than it is for science to have developed (and continue developing) the way it did.
But what if that brain’s knowledge if the universe is wrong? What if matter, should it even exist, is not made from atoms and that brain just thinks that?

Whoa dude!
PS This is a great shower thought!!!

This has the same vibe as saying everything in math is set theory, which IMO is more reductive than older than 14 and deep ^TM^.

We Humans have been on a journey of self examination since we first understood we exist

It’s like we are mirrors of the universe… woah!

More specifically, we are made of things which behave continuous until interacted with when they behave discrete (but revert if the persistent info about the interaction is erased).
While simultaneously building virtual worlds we procedurally generate using continuous functions which convert to discrete units in order to track stateful interactions with free agents, ideally with memory optimizations like erasing the state tracking and conversion if the info around an interaction is lost.

A rock may be intelligence. It just thinks at a far shower rate than humans.

“Today a young man on acid realized that all matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration, that we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively, there is no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves.
