The Interaction Of Consciousness Creates God

Karma depends on the existence of man or consciousness because without which there is only physics.A single human being in the entire universe could do no wrong or right in a larger sense since he would only be interacting with inanimate objects.The only wrong he could do is harm himself and then the result would be immediate.In order for karma or the idea of god to be manifest the interaction of consciousnesses is needed.Karma amongst rocks is meaningless.God in his desire for perfection which implies the principle of least action and economy would be asleep when he is not needed and how else could it be.Just as Mach's principle says that the rest of the universe is needed to create inertia likewise all of man is needed to bring forth karma because just as without the rest of the universe inertia is meaningless likewise without other humans good and evil is meangless.So only by the interaction of people does what we call karma exist.Karma is an emergent phenomenon.This karmic field exists in potentia and only comes into existence when needed to preserve least action so in this way it's existence depends on our existence.We have come into being to witness and be a part of this creation.Anything we do to enhance consciousness will be rewarded and anything we do to destroy it will be punished.This field of interaction is non-computable just as is our consciousness and as such must of necessity remain beyond our ability to properly describe it beyond knowing that it exists.

A True Religion Must Employ Social Mechanics

During an investigation of a proper way of life both personally and socially all the many alternatives chosen by various people should be examined.If you want a lifestyle like a particular group then logically you should adopt their ideas.If you adopt the beliefs of backward superstitious societies then that will be the result for you and how else could it be. For to say otherwise would be to spurn the scientific method and say all societies are the same.Along with empirical evidence of a societies success beginning with do more people move into or out of it must come common sense and the ability to integrate scientific concepts.This leaves out out all angel based ideologies which govern most of the world on the precepts given earlier and the marxian ideologies based on empirical disasters and the fact that the set of true economic statements is non listable therefore incomplete.So large parts of the world are governed by either ridiculous concepts based on angels and all knowing prophets or equally ridiculous ones based on dialectical materialism and the hope that the economy can be represented by an input output matrix. The first is destroyed by godel's theorem and the second by turing's halting theorem.Social mechanics begins from where these two leave off since neither incorporates modern meta-mathematics or computer science although both of the older theories will have elements of truth which are just enough to entice some people many for their entire lives.

A Virulent Religion Will Expand To Fill All Available Time

Just as the time taken to do a job will expand to fill in all the available time allocated or the amont of money expended in a bureaucracy will equal the amount budgeted likewise a religion will expand in one's life to take up all the time available. This will equal all the free time one has spent praying and being occupied with dietary rules and reading stories about angels and just generally wasting time.As a limit a society of such people will produce just enough to survive and will have zero surplus for trade and will be of necessity reliant on natural resources.If their natural resources are valuable enough then it will mask the basic unproductivity of their lifestyle but if they are honest they will notice that everything they have was produced by others plus all scientific knowledge and ask why.A virulent religion will expand itself to the detriment of all thinking and produce cycling societies where the people are locked in a never ending feedback loop.If someone is praying or thinking of angels then they are not thinking just fantasizing that they are.Being conscious is necessary for but not sufficient for thinking and there are only so many hours in a day.A brilliant mathematician spending his time interpreting religious texts may come up with brilliant summaries but not brilliant mathematics.A true religion will be minimized to not only allow but demand thinking and progress and displace entropic ideologies.A true religion will have no unscientific "holy days"and be self aware and always on the lookout for religions which enlist unobservable angels to justify their existence.

The Weighing Of Distributed Ignorance Equals Intelligence

The average guess of a group of people who are asked to estimate the weight of a calf will fall very close to it's real value.This of course is the result of an approximate number of incorrect guesses above and below the true value.The result when averaging is that the corresponding numbers above and below the correct value cancel each other.This is based on an unskewed estimates .Just as the crowd gave a correct estimate based on various factors which lead to high and low guesses likewise the person or persons who guessed correctly must have weighed all the factors which contributed to the distribution of guesses.In effect the few people who did get the correct answer except for luck must have taken into account the reasoning for the high and low guesses and averaged them in their mind.What happened in their mind is what happened on the outside to the crowd since they got the same answer.Once this result is had then that new value can be used again along with others to make a new decision.So the weighing of ideas will progress building up more and more complex ones.Invariably the same people will be more correct than most members of the crowd and we see this in our ordinary life.They are more able to weigh the circumstances and come to the correct conclusion .The weighing of truth will be a result of logic and empirical evidence and self correcting.Any ideology which destroys empirical evidence and critical thinking will produce people with a skewed and invariably incorrect outlook.

How the Israelis Have Been Checkmated By The Muslims

Currently there is much hand wringing in Israel over what to do with the burgeoning Muslim population and their demands for a homeland and the need to keep a Jewish majority in a Jewish democracy.On the one hand there is much pressure for a Palestinian country and if they don't accede to that they can expect much trouble and fighting. The other alternative is when if they do become concentrated with all the Jews forced from occupied territories then when a hostile Muslim country drops an atomic bomb on them they will be all in one place so easier to kill.So if they stay or go the Israelis lose.... checkmate.
