Thanks. Paul, what assumptions and conclusions specifically did you find flawed? I realize that I necessarily glossed over a lot of stuff here; there's material in this post that could get spun out across several posts. Great thoughts here, guys. Thanks.

Some assumptions and conclusions I find flawed, but I have to admit I haven't read every post on your site and you may have already addressed many of them. So here's the one that's most fun to ask rhetorically: What happens when (something most gamers are familiar with) we fall through the cracks of the established rules? Is it truly never possible to see the other way through the one-way wall? Or do we have to wait until nanomachines create a mini-universe in a black hole (which I'm pretty sure would mathematically require more energy than we could harness within the 60 remaining years I'll be alive if I'm lucky), and then reflect upon this new mini-universe? Aside from that, with many languages these days, scope is never a hard-and-fast thing. (Ruby has made me a lot more open-minded about encapsulation.) Some really beautiful thoughts here.

The part about a person not being able to really comprehend whether or not "singularity" is happening now was insightful. It made me think of a quote that I've found really valuable. It was something along the lines of: Even though you may presently believe and feel that somethings about your life/the world are not "alright," they may be alright. To earnestly attempt to hold these contradictions in one's mind at the same time, to deeply examine the possibility that one's beliefs of what is true may be untrue, this is a powerful practice. lucid stuff. thanks for writing.

The implication at any rate is that God is subject to the one-way-wall paradigm/dox and that he was thus compelled to create machines to answer the questions he had about his own nature and origins. It's the same reason man has created and continues to create machines (technological, artistic, and otherwise). Of course these machines raise as many questions as they answer, and the wall remains impenetrable as ever.

You really managed to tie together a really broad and complex base of material gracefully and accessibly. I find it absurdly ironic that so many brilliant computer-geek types claim to have jettisoned the entire category of "religion" altogether (usually because of negative experiences with American Christianity) and yet everything they're interested in has its roots in the whole history of human mythological thought. You demonstrate elegantly that if anything, all our new technology makes the old metaphysical paradigms all the richer. Thank you for putting this into the world! Beautiful post, David.
