Thinking About Thinking

Updated: Oct 3, 2020

Even as you read this sentence, you're actively evaluating whether I'm writing something true, false, or fictional. Yes, you're being judgmental. Perhaps you're thinking, "I don't like philosophical thought experiments," but nevertheless here you are thinking about it. But why do you think what you're thinking has any truth value or trustworthy evaluative powers at all? If you were just somehow born out of the universe, then you're nothing more than material-energy shaped by chance. Your final reality gives you no meaning to life, much less an explanation of how material energy got here in the first place. It gives you no objective value system. It gives no objective basis for law, and makes you the measure of all things. If you're the measure of all things for you, then I am the measure of all things for me and will suffer no moral consequences for areas of disagreement. The universe has no personal powers nor can it make Karmic moral judgments. Stop fooling yourself.

The brain and the emergence of human consciousness is an important matter when is comes to figuring out where we came from, meaning, morality, and our destiny. You can explore these ideas in a work of fiction called PSYCHONIX: Mind Over Matter. It's packed with apologetic thinking, but it's also a compulsively readable roller-coaster ride fraught with psychological thrills, unanticipated dips and lurches, and existential truths. This neo-apologetics masterpiece will fascinate you philosophically and psychologically and nostalgically in equal measures.
