Nature, And The Natural Human Condition, Generates

Inventing Is A Lot Like Surfing: You Have To Anticipate And Catch The Wave At Just The Right Moment.

Nature, And The Natural Human Condition, Generates Tremendous Suffering. We Have The Means To Overcome That, And We Should Deploy It.

My View Is That Consciousness, The Seat Of "personalness," Is The Ultimate Reality, And Is Also Scientifically Impenetrable. In Other Words, There Is No Scientific Test One Can Postulate That Would Definitively Prove Its Existence In Another Entity. We Assume That Other Biological Human Persons, At Least Those Who Are At Least Acting Conscious, Are Indeed Conscious. But This Too Is An Assumption, And This Shared Human Consensus Breaks Down When We Go Beyond Human Experience (e.g., The Debate On Animal Consciousness, And By Extension Animal Rights).

Our Intuition About The Future Is Linear. But The Reality Of Information Technology Is Exponential, And That Makes A Profound Difference. If I Take 30 Steps Linearly, I Get To 30. If I Take 30 Steps Exponentially, I Get To A Billion.
