8) Knowledge
[You
shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.]
{You
shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.}
73
Human knowledge is
accumulated on the shoulders of time.
The totality of that knowledge could be obliterated to nothingness in an
instant. Species with greater and lesser
allotments of understanding dot the universe in distant rarities. We are to them what they are to us, dust of a
common atomic infinity.
Even the elements
of our Earth may bear a species wiped from the ledger with no remaining
comprehended evidence which previously exceeded what humanity ever will
achieve. These potential summations are
irrelevant. We are animals evolved for
extinction.
What we do in the
interim is a function of our interconnected reliance to see our complex brains
as portals to peer into the universe.
The cells we each extrapolated into these brains bearing the volition to
choose are capable of contributing more than all previous generations of our
kind to our collective assurance of why we do what we do and what we are. In these honesties we find a framework of
immortality to be animals who unravel the mysteries innate to life.
For if we are
capable of such beauty, so is any being capable of the cognitive development to
assert volition over instinct. We can
assess in which avenues we are still instinctual beings. Instinct remains abundant. However in these depths we see the Meme overlapping
this knowledge repressing our honesty for a manipulated derivation of untruth
posing as honesty.
The eighth
commandment states, you shall not lie.
Dishonesty is banned unless one does not understand that one is
lying. This is the Meme’s
exception. The Meme creates the make-believe
that a lie is truth and truth is lie. Knowledge
is skewed with these honest-lies.
Knowledge
considers the fact that such untruths are believed, yet factually false. Knowledge requires the empirical to
substantiate a fact to be considered truth.
Knowledge can commensurately be comprised of falsehoods absent the
empirical, yet the ideas are still knowledge.
Knowledge is both true and false.
Serious-loving-joyous theft and murder occur in these waters of
false-knowledge.
We are made to
forget what we are. The shoulders of
time stack generations with whispers to infants, parent to child to grandchild
extending. The Meme breathes in such
words. The victors of wars write history
books in dominate languages. The truth
becomes such a distant memory like a species that cannot be fathomed to exist,
by those who are either descended from it or grown to be just like it without
ever knowing a single piece of evidence of their rise, glory or
extinction. Science can peer into carbon
and genetic mapping to hypothesize and at times prove linkages. Science is anti-Meme.
The Meme wishes us
not to contemplate, to see the answers in absolute and in shortages of
time. The age of the universe matters to
the Meme. Time is the ultimate
chaos. There must be a start. There must be a border and a limit to the
distance. The universe cannot be
boundless and assault the order of knowledge.
To be boundless is to admit that there is space un-seeable, place
impossible to get to, and answers unattainable as questions bombard in endless
precipitation. Similarly a finite
universe is equally as perplexing. To
definitively claim knowledge of either variation as absolute is pious conceit. To label that definitive knowledge god is a
short-sighted simplistic equivalence costuming a solipsistic assumption that
one’s mind bears power to determine metaphysical fact from an improvable
epistemological hypothesis.
74
Entropy is the
antithesis to the Meme. Disorder is
progressing as this iteration of the universe we inhabit is expanding. The Big Crunch could follow the Big
Bang. The universe could contract into
itself into a singularity only to be spit out through Planck time to expand
again. The atomic energy in our planet
and bodies may have been through this countless times before. Whether this is valid or not, the factual
context is functionally irrelevant to the choices before humanity.
The Big Bang need
not be perceived as the beginning or the Big Crunch the end. Black holes or wormholes or some paradigm of
the orchestra-interplay of the universe yet discovered or ever discovered by
humanity does not need to be a complete answer to be part of the answer. The contemplated impetus, although a fixation
or an obsession, is irrelevant. Whatever
it was, if time ever began, is independent to a similar infinite time and
universe which always was.
For in this we
approach the infinite regress of calling the universe god and god the universe
of a concept existing beyond what humans comprehend as time. The Meme can misguide us in this dichotomy by
hungering for an anthropomorphized universe deemed our father-god rather than
the cold faceless-expanse deemed universe. Anthropomorphizing brings comfort,
definitiveness, magnanimity to humanity and a cessation to contemplation beyond
our planet and individuality. What would
such an imagined father-figure do with genitals?
There need be no
command to spark the universe for knowledge to exist. We can continue our next thought knowing that
we do exist in this iteration of the universe in these dimensions, perhaps interfacing
with others in manners we cannot perceive, contemplate or ever bear
awareness. However these potential
segregations of the consequences of our volition are life, not spirituality or
magic, but scientific normality given the full spectrum of the universe. The Big Bang and Crunch represent focused
pit-stops in a journey of infinite time to create the illusion of
relativity.
For as probable as
such a universal accordion may be as part of the story, humanity will most as certainly
be extinct before or at maximum as a result of this process. We do not need to exist. This check to our ego is daunting for the
Meme to confront. The greatest lies of
the Meme are a direct result.
For the idea that
we-are-not-animals also covers up the primordial soup the protein chains we
came from before. Whether we rode to
Earth on a meteorite or not, the sun’s rays evolved the beginning of cells in
water. The billions of years to
consolidated energy into mass backtrack in reverse from planets in a system to galaxy
to nebula to a universe blinking. The
Meme gives us many stories as discussed in the third commandment, but
ultimately each is dodging science to see a before the before.
Either we have an
unanswerable question or the universe always was. The Big Bang is simply a yawn to the greater
universe to appear large to us, when our entire known universe could be but the
brain cell of a larger being. Striations
of energy and matter may act like nerves.
Even if that being were to exist this would still not make such a being
our god or that being or its perceptions the limitations of totality. It is probable that the complete atomic reality
of the universe is a structure of improbabilities comingling so that the
collective confluence dwarfs any thought humanity will ever be able to
contemplate prior to our inevitable extinction.

The idea to link
god as both creator and after-life haven are segregated mandates. A concept of god is the name given to the
spectrum of life giver, observer, arbiter, taker, compensator, and
punisher. The amalgamation of these
roles is done by the Meme to simplify that any exist given the inextinguishable
ignorance to such derivations of thought beyond human sensorial
capability. Since none can be proven or
disproven the monopoly of such potential powers are consolidated in the name
god. These are refuted by that which
exhibits no evidence can be refuted without evidence. This is similar to the tooth fairy, centaurs,
or zombies.
God is a concept
this treatise attempts to define in terms of the Meme. The greatest attribute of a human-god is that
such a god provides exactly what one feeds the god, sentiments. Religion’s god is entirely separate.
God is the thought like a mirror of one’s ego, superego, libido, and id
interpreting the universe and reflecting back every stimulus into an internal
canvas. We choose what we paint there
across the spectrum of what we choose to perceive.
Morality, honesty,
respect, stealing or not, killing or not, loving or not are measurements of
volition not god. The Meme sabotages
this reality for its own distortion of truth to make the human condition easier
to handle given the uncertainties and certainties of death. We cannot accept death, so the Meme cannot
accept death. The duality of such
similar dynamics is why the Meme is so prevalent.
We are taught by
the Meme to seek god for a special
relationship to mitigate these fears. We
are to never ask god for a manner of
performance. Those depicted in holy
books are sufficient. The anti-Meme is
as the anti-apostle Thomas. The
anti-Meme wants to finger the wound for blood and finds the attempt for
verification rational and fair. The
anti-Meme sees this as an admirable request to avoid a chaotic detour for
humanity into ghostly dirges and ethereal cloud-carriages for a lack of due
diligence.
The untruth of
commandment seven includes a claim of exclusivity on individuality. Individuality is an illusion based on the
consciousness of an organic brain.
Humans are a single cell divided into a network of cells like a rat,
lion, turtle, fern or albatross. The
notion of seeking a god or god buries
the simplicity of this biology with a fantastical division.
The result is boats
of Meme-dependents holding the comfort of godly
passports self-imposed to wait for a nonexistent jailer, judge, or jury. There is only volition. The cliff-dropping nothingness of such
absolutism prompts fear and is the foundation of the Meme.
Misguided puppies
are whimpering at the doorway of a never-seen master for a meal that was never
and will never be prepared. The canine’s
stomach enzymes are eating itself appearing plump. The pound is full of un-adopted pups
euthanized all certain the master
would come.
The Meme has
become a colossal traffic accident having gawkers stare at Jesus, Mohammed,
Abraham, Zeus, etc. slowing down human action from accomplishing rational
growth. The sideshow is stopping the
thoroughfare of knowledge. Traffic can
barely budge. We are sidetracked by
knowledge that is not knowledge or better false-knowledge that is not
empirically-true knowledge.
Even if such
false-knowledge is a valid commerce of faith post-organic life, the Earthly
consequences of such an economy are overtly detrimental. The morality sacrificed by the collective to
achieve the hypocritical morality of the valid-faith negates the benefit to
humanity by including so much manipulation, maliciousness, and fraud in the
means to such an end. We lose our
greatest asset, volition to a taint of absolutist irrelevance swaying every
thought. Humans are better not knowing
and not attempting any definitive behavior, laws, or systems based on any
commerce of faith or worship.
