1430z.......
Self location is a real problem, it’s just not a quantum problem.
It’s not just a problem with space...... it is particularly a problem with time.
The self location problem (SLP) has everything to do with consciousness, and nothing to do with the quantum.
The SLP has everything to do with memory, and not just any old memory.
It has to do with episodic memory....... eg. where were you when Kennedy was assassinated?
It has to do with stories and history.
It has to do with geography.
Above all, it has to do with the Metanarrative.
If you are part of the Metanarrative, you have no problem.
If you are not part of the Metanarrative, you have a location problem.
For the location problem, it’s the difference between being a smart phone and having a smart phone
.
Do you have the phone, or does the phone have you?
The smart phone tells you when and where you are...... it just can’t tell itself...... sorry
.
Each instance of that knowing becomes part of your personal narrative.
And, interpersonally, your narrative becomes part of the Metanarrative.
That’s all........ Quantum shmauntum.......
Will smart phones play a role in the Eschaton?
You bet your sweet bippy they will!
1520.........
The best possible Metanarrative is all about codependent arising...... pratītyasamutpāda.
Pratītyasamutpāda is the shadow of Monadnock....... of the Source/Telos....... the I Am.
Trust me when I tell you that the I Am does not have a location problem........ well, it did, once, and that’s why we’re here..... to help the Monad solve its location problem.
1620.........
There is a caveat here....... we’re talking small world.......
If we don’t have a small world, little chick
is just talking through his hat 🧢.
The biggest news about personalism is that we are all here, now.
We may be lost in space and time, but you’d never know that from looking around.
The gang is all here..... now!
What is the explanation for that?
There is no explanation..... except for the phenomenal unity of the global consciousness field.
Consciousness is, very decidedly, interpersonal.
This is the field of Presence...... the Shining Presence that we all share.
Explain that, Kimosabe.
2010.......
Sorry, jofo, your reference to Rowan&Martin went right over my head.
Look, ma, we have no zombies 🧟........ everyone is living in the present moment.
..... a seemingly simple fact, but just try to explain it.
When we meet someone in the middle of nowhere, it could just be like two ships passing in the the night...... but it never is.
Invariably, there is some sort of greeting....... as our two time bubbles merge into one.
Like so many miracles in life, we just take it for granted.
Our best and brightest physicists have no clue.
We don’t even know why time appears to flow...... the mere fact that there is a present moment is passing strange.
On the other side, time can behave very differently, or so I’m told.
