As an aside what do we thinks going to happen to our economy after the pandemic is over and we decide to let everybody work from home and all the people that are in the cities and urban areas have to compete with people in Wyoming for salaries?

I bet that means that after this inflation is over wages are going to go way down for the middle class.

Call it what you will it’s the end of times y’all.

maybe the big city folk will join us here in rural america and we will end up becoming less divided bc we love our neighbors.

that urban/rural divide is what truly scares me

Humans have a tendency to freak out and burn everything down before doing anything rational like that, but maybe!

Like imagine all those people they spent so much money on houses and now they’re just supposed to give them up because the salaries are tanking and move?

It’s kind of like reminiscent of that time Ben Shapiro said people that own property along the water lines if the sea level rises they’ll just sell their homes haha

If 50% of the jobs leave California does that mean homes drop in value by 50%? That would like devastate the economy right?

If there is such a thing as intelligent design or a creator, that would suggest an Armageddon at some point

If humankind was able to continue to advance technologically, it would begin to approach becoming more and more like God, starting with immortality. There’s predictions that humans will eventually unlock the secrets to immortality within [x] hundred-thousand years. It will likely, based on crude predictions, take one of two paths. The less likely path is finding a way to prevent cells from dying due to old age, because this would still leave our organs and tissue vulnerable to things like trauma, heat, cold, etc. The more likely path would be to eventually unlock the ability to “download” our consciousness into a symbiotic body, one that could be cloned and made much more durable than a human body. But of course once we can download our conscious into a program such as the Matrix, we would be vulnerable to giving up on reality and only existing in simulations built around our hedonistic tendencies or other narcissistic pursuits, another falling away from God. Once you can plug your brain into the machine and reality is what you choose to create or download, why would anyone ever unplug?

If there was no creator or intelligent design, you reading this and I, we might be some of the last generations of humans to actually die. But even if we happened to unlock immortality in the next 500ish years, it wouldn’t obviously be complete or perfect initially. But in the next few thousand years could it be?

So we approach a godlike status, immortal, seeking other forms of life beyond the scope of our current religions, and beyond the reach of a Heaven or hell. If there was a creator, there would likely be an end to human life before this point

This is just my guess

Let me introduce you to the real living god of this universe. The ruler of all things. The king of kings.

Entropy.

Ironically this is related to your question about lizards being able to grow arms.

Quote:
Time is is like entropy and can only go in one direction.

But what if there was something that was like time, but went the opposite direction?

Man evolved from beast, we do not know from which but we do know that the human genome has gone through a wide array of changes over time. We know this because we began recording our past over 50,000 years ago, on the walls of caves, covered in paintings showing who we were, and where we were.

Art defines who we are as a species. Some even believe that there is strong evidence it is what separates us from other hominid species that died out over time. It allowed us to grow as a species and community sharing both in our history but also in what we believed and imagine who we might be.

Imagination is the element that separated us from the beasts that we evolved along side with.

All humans are gifted with the ability to imagine. We can create fantastic worlds. We can dream about things we desire and wish for a fulfilled and happy future to grow old in.

What if this gift bestowed upon us over 50,000 years ago was exactly that, a gift.

What if with it we could access a new element like time. That if done correctly imagination could accurately predict the future!

What if when you imagined the outcome, it was the outcome that came?

Schrödinger's box. A cat inside. It will be poisoned when it is opened. In this scenario you can accurately predict that the cat will be dead when you open the lid.

However his equation also tells you that the cat is both dead and alive until you observe the outcome.

In this instance, we can accurately predict the outcome of a quantum state.

Perhaps we can see more if we put our minds to it?
