Even within entanglement itself, there is a natural symmetry.

Measure the spin of Quark A and it is intrinsically 'opposite' to that of Quark B.

So, there's some simple and obvious universe in which the case is literally the reverse.

Some mirror-world. The looking-glass. Narcissus. Reflection.

Maybe time goes 'backward' there, but what would that even mean? Always knowing exactly what to do at every moment to the point where your entire existence becomes clockwork?

So, there'd have to be a third option.

Somewhere between abject uncertainty and rigorous mechanism.

A compromise.

And between the life of dreaming and waking, at least in my experience, it exists.

And whether it's the future or the past depends on which universe from which you're looking at it.

So, returning to the OP pic related...

I suppose it should be amended, because the implication is that Universe 0 is default, and 1 requires self-awareness, when the fact is that there's no reason to assume that, and the labels of 1 and 0 are essentially arbitrary except for the nomenclature that is inherited from Moorish Algebra circa 711 C.E.

The important one is Universe x, lol.

Because how else are actual members of any universe supposed to communicate with one another unless there's a medium through which to do so, lolololol?

Sure, it's the Ether. The Quintessence. Probably the Humors fit in there as well, since it's part of lore from a universe in which I consider such concepts as belonging to the past.

But it's also the Force. And the Xi. And all the other things that belong to contemporaneity.

But contemporaneity has two sides, lol...

>But contemporaneity has two sides, lol...

What belongs to the present means that it also belongs to an ancient past.

Consider pic related.

I consider myself as pretty basic, honestly, so this is just a thing from my biological past that resonates with me.

Humans haven't been here for very long, in terms of planetary age.

What's interesting to me is how indigenous cultures tend to respect the planet as a conscious being to such a greater degree than contemporary ones.

Like, there was this Italian group that called themselves 'The Futurists' and led by Marinetti right basically smack dab at the beginning of the 20th century C.E..

And I'm pretty sure they had everything both simultaneously right and wrong at the same time.

That's probably just a wild swing, in terms of things that anybody should pay attention to, but at the same time... it seems like a pretty crucial moment in terms of whether technology was a force being driven by people or that which drove them. This is probably more of a /his/ question, so if you want to port it on over, go ahead - I'm just trying to keep track of what it means to equally respect the Ferrari Testarossa and the construction of a world on which elephants are holding up the shell of the world while standing on a tortoise's back... because when I think about it, I feel like they're expressing the same thing.

Look at this thing, though.

I mean, humans made this. Little mammals who barely survived the Dinosaur Apocalypse™ by hiding out in caves for like who could even understand how many years and eventually evolved into the Australopithecines, which then somehow got it right enough to keep on going to the point that they made this vehicle that can transport them across the planet faster than anything imaginable within the generational memory of an entire species...

Like... fuck.

It's *beautiful*

And flip-over headlights are like my automotive fetish, lol.

And yet... boil it down to parts, and we're all just the sludge of the Earth, aren't we? I'm gonna die, and my body will disintegrate, nest c'est pas?

Unless there were some imaginary universe in which we were identified by our cognitive consistency more than we were our physical.

But that's a dumb idea.

dude your cognition changed like 4 times in your last post alone

Thank you.

Do you surf?

I mean, I don't. But I have a really good imagination, and I can so imagine myself facing off against a building wave, and knowing that it could take my life, but still be like 'naw... I have to ride it.'

So the sea is like this thing that can decide to kill you at any moment.

But then again, so is literally all of nature.

The fact that you're alive at all is basically a miracle, when you think about all the possibilities that have existed which could have ended your existence.

And yet, every day you wake up and stare into the multiplicity of methods on which this planet could decide - at any moment - to end your life.

Car accident? Like obviously, duh. But you don't stop driving. Heartattack? Well, yeah, but you've been trying to watch your cholesterol, and eating garlic salt, so that's less of a concern. Lighting strike? Possibly. Literally, you never know how likely it is that you'll just be taken out by a lightning-strike.

So, do you worry about that, or do you just keep surfing?

I don't surf, though, so I'm genuinely asking.
