Unified ontology for everyone — During the last six years, and not only here on Medium, I talked repeatedly about the same concepts, though in many different (symbolic) languages. Scientific, Atheistic, Judaic, Christian, partly Buddhist, Vedic, or Shamanic, and very marginally also Taoist (if you are curious, search through my profile for details :). I…

And how the Council at Jerusalem proves apostolic ignorance — As described in chapter 15 of Acts of the Apostles, Council of Jerusalem, or Apostolic Council, was allegedly held in Jerusalem around c. 48–50 CE. It was a meeting of early Christian Church authorities that was primarily preoccupied with the extent to which gentile converts should adhere to Mosaic Law. …

And the futility of metaphysical rebellions — Let us embark on a little speculative journey and suppose for a moment that we live in a simulation indeed. Let’s imagine that the simulation is running for six thousand years and that it is totally adaptive. That is, it generates its content and properties on the fly in accordance…

On original sin and pitfalls of intuitive dualism — For better or worse, humans were always fascinated by snakes. We go a long way back and, similarly to spiders, snakes in human symbolism represent mortal danger as well as wisdom of efficient, stealthy, and cunning predator. …

People complain about capitalism and excuse their participation in the system by their need to collect paychecks, but they still sell even things they could give for free, and which, as they claim, are the fruits of their sheer passion, on platforms that are embodiment of exploitation and are run by billionaires whom they despise because they uphold capitalism. Don’t miss out our hit: Eat your cake and keep it too! Here — the splendid shit.

Few random thoughts on transitioning to a new paradigm — Nowadays, it’s glaringly obvious that our self-imposed planet-wide transactional modus operandi which we suffered through during the (roughly) last six millennia reached its limits. Infinite growth in a finite environment, an obvious logical impossibility, finally proved itself to be unsustainable even in practical, observable terms. I elaborated on how we…

Three gives birth to all things and all beings.” Lao Tzu, Chapter 42, Tao Te Ching We use to think of ideas as distinct units of mind which are furthermore also eventually directly communicable. In…

Atheists wage war, a crusade against straw men. The same scarecrows all believers and spiritual masses are convinced are alive. The former demand a proof while rejecting all evidence and thus deem themselves reasonable.
