Free Falling into Abstraction of Consciousness We are on the precipice of a new abstraction of consciousness. A critical junction in the evolution of mankind. The technologies of Artificial Intelligence (AI), genetic modifications, quantum computing, surgical implants, and virtual realities are building the components for humans to enter an alternative form of reality. Shows like [...]

Welcome to Pleroma's Void! Welcome to my humble effort to tell the story of Pleroma's Void. It is a story that has been bubbling out of me for at least five years. It is a story I believe must be told. It is a story about us, humanity, or lack thereof. It is a timeless [...]

The interpretation of consciousness in WestWorld, like Evolved and my current project Pleroma's Void, asks deep questions about the nature of the mind. What is consciousness? Is it simply a result of all the physical stuff going on in our heads? Or, is there something else, non-physical? These questions drill down into questions like: What [...]

Twenty years from now your child has an accident, permanently damaging their brain, reducing their life expectancy, and significantly diminishing your family's quality of life. Despite advancements, the medical community cannot fix their native brain. An artificial brain, a quantum machine, has been FDA approved and on the market for five years with about a [...]

How Emotions Are Made Is an emotional superconscious in our future? A networking of our brains through artificial intelligence? If so, what does it mean for our us, as individuals and as a society and culture? To help guide me on this quest, I read How Emotions Are Made by Dr. Lisa Feldman Barrett, a University [...]

Our mind filters out "noise," categorizes to aid in recognition, predicts to save energy, and misses objects in front of us. Furthermore, our minds are filled with biases based on our past experiences. Scientists have strong evidence of our faulty perception. Spiritual consciousness attempts [...]

Our Place in Space What is our place in space? We're so caught up in the temporal, saving for the future and managing our calendar, that maybe we're missing something fundamental. Reading God is Red by Vine Delora, Jr., who was named by Time magazine in 1974 one of the influential religious thinkers of the [...]
