Deep thoughts today
What if AI got so good that it could put us in a simulation that was convincing? It could put us in heaven when we really weren't. It could put us in hell when we really weren't. It could put us on earth when we really weren't. If that's the case, then faith needs to reside deeper than perception. I haven't thought through all this entails.
Then quantum mechanics. I don't really understand it, but I thought I heard that the observer can affect the experiment. And there was the idea that the observer can even be alone in the universe.
If I was alone in the universe, then maybe I would want a slight blue pill experience, in order to have interaction and stimulation. But I still think I would want enough of a red pill to have knowledge of what the deal was.
I am still in favor of problem resolution, but if problems are necessary, if I would not be able to handle a problem-free life, I pray that the problems are manageable and minimal.
And finally, I want to learn more about gnosticism, but while I do it, I want to hold onto my Christian foundation. Peace, love, truth, what Jesus stood for.
