First Steemit post here, and the uniquely human consciousness of birthing an idea from thought into existence is precisely why I've chosen to join and post on SteemIt.
I live my dream: literally. Sometimes life is miraculous. Others a nightmare. But I created this reality. It is MINE.
I will write more on this my backstory to come.
You, dear Steemaniacs, can encourage my direction on topics by commenting and up-voting of course.
Steem holds a great deal of value as a wealth creation system monetizing information media, but most important it is a reflection of how well different realities interact and register amongst each other.
If the governmental process were as well crowd-sourced as the distribution of wealth and power of Steem we would actually have a tangible degree of choice and vested interest in the process of policy within our respective governments.
While I will remain apolitical in my posts, the present POTUS's reality TV past could in fact greatly benefit the American (and possibly global) system by bringing true distribution of power: imagine a power system governed by social media, realtime enough that everyone could vote on HOW a leader should deal with an issue at hand? Imagine if a leader actually followed the expressed will of the people? It is possible, and not unlikely, if enough people were persuaded.
This is the power of creating reality, a capability we all possess as individuals but seldom harness to even a fraction of its potential.
We can create our own reality: choose to do or not. Tell our minds and bodies to do, or not. Take IDEA to REALITY. This is what separates your cognitive intellect from that of your dog. Children are naturally EXCELLENT at creating reality, but often times we forget how to do this as we grow older.
Certainly the realities perceived by others influences our reality. But we can change the perceptions of others and align their beliefs with ours. This is basic persuading, and key to opening options and creating new reality strings.
Think SpaceX, Mars colonization, Feynmanian nanophysics, VR immersive language acquisition, Quantum computing and accurate game theory behavioral analysis. Bitcoin or any Altcoin for that matter. These are all subjects or concepts which literally came from the mind of a person or persons surrounded by naysayers.
Remember: the only reason they say "NO" is because you have not persuaded well enough. Or perhaps "NO" is the answer you desire...but you must choose, if you in fact believe others exist and need them to complete the total vision of your reality, how you want them to respond.
Enough solipsistic rhetoric for now, here’s the meat of the matter:
Reality is what you perceive it to be and accept. Reality is merely a series of signals reaching and being interpreted by your brain. Your actions are generally reactions to the interpretation of those signals.
Every person (arguably every conscious entity) owns a different reality. Sometimes realities intersect. Humans interact. We cooperate to create new, cofounded realities.
As far as we know humans are the only species to “know” atoms (or for our purposes to have created the concept of atomic and subatomic particles).
It is generally accepted, as an educational and scientific reality, that all things are composed of atoms, including our brains.
So irrespective of a non-atomic, spiritual consciousness, when we think about our brains and the atoms of which they are composed we become atoms thinking about the nature of other atoms.
Interestingly, if we consider the fact that there are infinite POSSIBLE realities, then it is LEAST likely, nearly IMPOSSIBLE that the reality we believe we are experiencing is, in fact, the actual reality!
WHHAAAT? You say? But even in infinity I KNOW what I’m experiencing is REAL!
Really?
Then how do you explain DIFFERENT infinities? The fact that there are infinite sets representing infinite numbers? That some infinities are, most definitely, larger or smaller than others?
Take for example the sum of all even numbers (2+4+6 etc.) v. the sum of all odd numbers (1+3+5 etc.). Even into infinity, even numbers ALWAYS amount to more than Odds, in fact the sums amount to A THEORETICALLY INFINITE DIFFERENCE even though there are the SAME amount of even and odd numbers!
Or imagine this: we all know 3 is greater than 2. So the sum of all numbers between 3 and 4 MUST be GREATER than the sum of all numbers between 2 and 3, right?
And if you have never though of this previously, dear Steemer, then I have just created a new reality for you. A reality we, and as of yet uncounted others, share.
Please do up vote if you share the same reality, or not. Using Steemit we can realistically create some real wealth and knowledge! And I imagine if not then at least have a helluva a lotta fun at the same time☺.
