The universe has no “beginning” or “end” but is in a constant state of chaos, and what we call “reality” is just a way of organizing information as the brain attempts to find order in a chaotic universe

This is a topic that I don’t see enough, and when I poast it, it gets no attention, so I’ll keep poasting it until someone notices. There is no definite line between order and disorder, reason and madness, life and death, war and peace, happiness and sadness, light and darkness, <br>mobile and PC, <br>r/all and r/myrlist, <br>ban and no ban, or any other set of contradictions you can imagine.<br><br>These binary oppositions are just a rule of thumb used to simplify and make reality easier to understand and communicate. It’s a necessary evil, but an evil nonetheless. Reality corrupts and absolute reality corrupts absolutely. <br><br>This is why it’s better to live without rules than to live without exceptions. <br><br>The first time that I realized that there is no binary opposition between the way the brain works and the way computers work was when I first saw a picture of a PC’s ram stick. <br><br>A PC’s ram is very simple in that a bunch of pins are connected to a bunch of transistors. That’s all it is. When you add a module, you’re just adding a few more pins and a few more transistors. Many transistors have different jobs. Each transistor in the brain also has multiple jobs and different types of neurons work together to do different jobs. But in both computers and brains, signals are just sent to the transistors/neurons in a specific arrangement, and the signals just travel from one neuron to the next in a simple and continuous process. The brain is not like RAM. The brain is like a PC. <br><br>Computers are just organized chaos. And that’s the only thing that the brain is capable of understanding. “Simplicity is in the eye of the beholder. If you believe that the world is simple, then you are simple. If you believe that the world is complicated, then you are smart.” - Me. <br><br>A person with too little beliefs and too many questions is going to be much more accurate in their perception of reality than a person with too many beliefs and too many answers. Reality is not a multiple choice test. Reality is a very difficult short answer test, and at the end of every question is an asterisk saying “*or not” or “*or something like that.” <br><br>Or maybe I’m wrong. I don’t know what I’m talking about.
