Barber paradox and existence of truth

The barber paradox: If the barber shaves everyone who does not shave himself, who shaves the barber? The barber paradox may strike as a trivial witty remark to many, but it is related to something far more serious. It is an example of Gödel’s incompleteness theorem, which says that formal logic (arithmetically expressible logic) cannot be both self-consistent and self-provable. In other words, the consistency of formal logic cannot be proved in the formal logic… Read More »Barber paradox and existence of truth

Time is not an illusion

Dr. Ethan Siegel’s article No, the laws of physics are not time-symmetric is an interesting piece. The article explains an important discovery made in 2012 by BaBar collaboration that observed time-reversal symmetry violation directly in ϒ(4s) particle decays into mesons. Time-reversal symmetry violation, or T-symmetry violation, is the physics term for ‘the arrow of time’, meaning that time is one-directional, always moving forward and never backward. The news of the T-symmetry violation discovery was overshadowed… Read More »Time is not an illusion

Complexity and purpose

Complexity as a phenomenon is real. The problem is that Complexity Theory (and its theorists) tend to have an ideological bend toward positivism, relativism, and existentialism and presume that the universe or its subsystems (including life and human organizations) do not have a moral purpose. Some acknowledge that there must be some built-in hidden purposeful order driving the complexity, but overall, they find satisfaction in the idea that self-organizing order can emerge from nothingness or… Read More »Complexity and purpose

The usefulness and deceptiveness of AI

What about AI that concerns you the most?  I can tell you mine.  The deception of AI. Although AI will not actually become conscious, people will subjectively believe it has gained consciousness, and the humanity will succumb to a fake superior intelligence, and enter into AI-induced degeneration. The objective truth and the subjective human understanding can be very different.  And the subjective human understanding about AI will have consequences built upon the misunderstanding itself.  AGI AI will never objectively achieve super… Read More »The usefulness and deceptiveness of AI

Faith & Religion

Man’s relationship with God rests on faith not religion. On the journey of faith, the worldliness is the first line of resistance by Satan. Many are trapped in the worldliness, which chokes faith (Matthew 13:8). But once a person starts to transcend the worldliness, he faces religion as the second line of resistance by Satan. Once I saw a report that Italy was spending tons of money to rebuild (more than just remodeling) a famous… Read More »Faith & Religion

The sleeping beauty paradox is a fallacy

The sleeping beauty paradox is a problem that has puzzled mathematicians and many other scholars for decades. Here is a description of the problem: Participants volunteer to undergo the following experiment and are told all of the following details: On Sunday she will be put to sleep. Depending on a coin toss (see below) during the experiment, she will be either awakened, interviewed just once, or after the first interview put back to sleep with… Read More »The sleeping beauty paradox is a fallacy

The natural and the spiritual

Answering a question about which religion has the most evidence, a friend answered: “I don’t understand how logically Christianity can beat Islam. If you consider the amount of supernatural stuff that each religion contains in its dogma Christianity is a strict superset of Islam. All the hokey magic stuff in Islam is in Christianity plus more. So it follows it is less scientifically plausible.” Like many others, my friend automatically equates ‘scientific evidence’ to ‘evidence’.… Read More »The natural and the spiritual

The Layers of Universe and Humanity

The universe we live in is a juxtaposition of two layers, a physical and a spiritual. Mankind is a critical nexus between the two layers, because man is spirit, soul and body (1 Thessalonians 5:23), alone has existence both in the spiritual and the physical with soul in the middle as an interface. The physical...

Human-centered religion does not work

Human-centered religion does not work, because it is not the truth. True faith is God-centered. Be wary if you’re receiving religious teachings that are centered around ‘human improvement’, be it self-improvement or improvement of others. The fact that such teachings come with a religious cover by acknowledging that we shall do it with some help from God does not change the human-centered nature of the teachings. We yearn for eternity because “we will see God”… Read More »Human-centered religion does not work

The universe is a timechain – the quantum universal timeframe

In a paper recently published on SSRN, Dr. Craig S. Wright described a new theory (philosophy) of time which offers a separate quantum universal timeframe as well as an understanding of the universe as an information system. See the full paper by Dr. Craig S. Wright: The Philosophy of Time (39 Pages, 3 Oct 2022,...
