Felt the impact of the meaning crisis in his own life, until he came upon the work of
Dr. Wolfgang Smith
What is the spiritual foundation of the West?
The head needs to catch up with the heart
Re: bitcoin, he believes that the white paper of Satoshi Nakamoto was a landmark event,but the current iteration of bitcoin hasn’t yet established itself as the locus of the solution to protecting our personal digital identities.
FANG (Facebook, amazon, Netflix, google) work always to get our attention and our time tending towards worship of the system and we have lost sovereignty over our digital selves.
They are commodifying personhood, actually setting up “humans futures” marketplaces.
“Culture is downstream from physics.” Rick Delano, maker of the movie about Wolfgang’s life:
The End of Quantum Reality.
We are story based creatures.
Learning to enter into the story of the liturgical year, learning to endure privation for the sake of Christ and not for what it will gain me.
The 7 deadly sins and the 7 gifts of the Holy Spirit.
Vertical Causation
Physics is the science of measurement
Cartesian Bifurcation, the res extensa and res cogitans
Not a livable division of the world.
Horizontal causation cannot produce complex specified information (Dembski’s theory)
Irreducible Wholeness. The Whole is not reducible to the sum of its parts.
The “Now”. Nunc Stans. The Now that stands. An eternal creative process.
The Measurer is Immeasurable.
The interface of theory and reality
