Philosophy

Now that I'm sober, I see what I was getting at but struggle to follow.

Our innovation is inspired by nature. So, the more we innovate, the more nature seems like the machines we create. So we start to question if nature is real or if we're in a machine of something else's creation—hell, if we can do it, why not something else? So we start looking for things. We don't know what we're looking for, but we start theorising and looking. Then we find gaps where something should be but isn't, so we start getting to the bottom of those gaps—like at CERN. Why do we have laws of general relativity? Can we break them? Let's try!

And back to divinity because it's fun; If a god created the universe, then it is unnatural and as artificial as the things we create. Science would not care for the god—which is now categorically titled a 'Universe Creating Entity' or a UCE—rather science would want to know what created the UCE and what else is going on outside of the UCE-made universe. We'd probe and autopsy god if we got the chance. And so if the universe was a 'set and forget' innovation where general relativity runs the whole thing like automation, how is that not a simulation and how far does it go? Is it like fish in an aquarium that simulates their natural habitat while it sits in a UCE's building lobby? Or is it more like everything I'm typing write now was inevitable because I'm a part of it?

This is the fun part about AI. It's 100% all based on a species that became extremely curious once it became self-aware. We're literally AI's UCEs. When our species wipes out, AI will probably start religions and write books prophesying our return, because we taught it about that stuff.
