The World’s End

Bit of a grim start, I’ve had better titles it must be said. Although, it really depends on what the end of the world actually means. I was having a little think to myself and something occured to me, what’s the next age going to be?                                                                                                           

If the next age for the human race is the last age, or if the age we are in now is the last age, then to us it will be the end of the world……….to us.

None of what I have just said makes any sense, and I agree with you which means first of all we are thinking the same. As I ramble on through this blog you will see that thinking the same as each other is quite important from an understanding point.

Here’s the problem, what if we are on the verge of realising why we are here? Because as soon as we realise this, we no longer have the need to be here. This may explain why many, many civilisations have disappeared off the face of the earth. We consider a lot of these ancient people to be incredibly advanced and very high in their spirituality. Was this the end of their worlds of existence on this planet as they had reached a point of understanding? A computed enlightenment?

Let me go back and take a look at humans through the ages. Now I don’t care if you believe in God or the Big bang, and these two beliefs seem to be a repeating theme when you look at, and question things. They both offer the same value in explaining everything, NOTHING!! Both ideas are about as constructive as a dream.

They both start off somewhere in the middle. Religion can not explain where God came from and Science can not explain what was before the Big Bang. Science has no idea why the Big Bang happened when it did, and Religion has no clue at all why God decided to create a universe in the first place.

Let’s begin sometime after the Ice Age.

Humans.  The first humans…. and I’m using the very unreliable tool of History here to explain our journey.  The first humans were hunter gatherers. This means they used what ever was available around them at the time, rocks. big sticks, strength over smaller creatures. They used these tools to catch the required food.

We were quite hairy at this point so clothing was not a major need, just food really.

So for a long time we were hunter gatherers, perfecting our techniques and understanding how to make weapons more effective. Hitting a soft stone with a hard stone could make a dagger. So we learned that sharp instruments are more effective than blunt ones when hunting. For a long long long long time this is how humans lived, then we made a huge step forward. What came next was to be known as the Stone Age.

With very little evidence of experiment, or trial and error. Humans went from hunter gatherers, to stone mason farmers!

Let me explain how impossibly ridiculous it is to suggest that humans made this jump. We went from running around a field chasing a deer, with a primitive spear, to farming and building stone monuments twenty foot high!! Suddenly we understood how to Grow our own food and use methods to keep growing and filter liquids, even beer! Oh yes, what I just said there was BEER!!!, Because there is evidence that  an early version of wheat based beer was created. This massive jump is impossible to explain. And before some know it all archaeologist or historian tries to correct me with the crap they were brainwashed with at university or school, consider this. When you look into the first human civilisations, you get told that civilisations started around 9 thousand years ago. That’s what the history books will tell you, that we started living as civilisations around 9 thousand years ago probably in China.

What I’m talking about are civilisations that built communities with stone structures separating individual rooms.

Well in Turkey there is a place called Gobekli Tepe, and it is over 10 thousand years old, maybe 12 thousand!!!

What is Gobekli Tepe I hear you ask. Well, it is what can only be described as a village  where a civilisation lived. 10 to 12 thousand years ago, way before the official history record of civilisations. It’s construction includes many monoliths. Huge blocks of stone carved into precise rectangles sticking up out of the ground with images carved onto them. Not carved into them, carved onto them?

The animal images on the stone, are 3D!! The images stick out of the rock!!! How does a hunter gatherer, move rock into position, carve it into shape and make 3D images on it?? The stone used by the way, isn’t even from that region. Yet these primitive humans moved it into position with no trial runs. There is absolutely no evidence of these hunter gatherers practicing on anything.

Most of the images, or 3D carvings, are from creatures these people would never have seen! If dragging hundreds of tons of stone and carving 3D images isn’t enough to make you question this, how did they know that certain animals even existed if they’ve never seen them before?

Now humans had dug up copper and used that as a tool. Whether this mining was before the stone age or not is not really known, but copper is softer than the stone used so it’s quite insignificant for the research. In other words, they didn’t use copper to make the images. To a degree I am probably skipping past the Copper Age, or Bronze Age to give it another title as what was being achieved at the time didn’t really need Copper to advance any of the work or understanding.

Remember what had already been achieved with carvings, farming, hunting and building. Also the time line where the Stone Age and all that had been created was completed without the knowledge of metals, this is why I was going to skip over the Bronze Age!  As it turns out i have managed to explain the age of Copper unintentionally giving it way more column space in my blog than I had intended!!

DAMN!!  Stupid bronze. Whatever, doesn’t matter, where was I? Yes, right…….the ages.                   

I suppose copper plays a part in the next age as a useful metal. That next age being the IRON AGE.

I should mention at this point before we get on to the iron age that the stone masons had created some incredible monuments in their time. The pyramids in Egypt, South America, China etc. Stonehenge, the line of stone monoliths that stretch from northern France to the south of Portugal and the huge figures on Easter Island.

There are some stone monuments that can’t even be dated, let alone explained!! Puma Punku stone monuments for example have such precise cuts that the only explanation from our current point of understanding, is that these stones were cut with lasers?? Thousands of years ago!!

Anyway, the Iron Age. The iron age was essentially the stepping stone to the Industrial Age. The iron age opened doors to building and manufacturing that would propel us to creating a new world. Buildings, bridges, rail networks, cars. We were building shit quicker than you can on those simulation games. You know the ones where you start a civilisation from scratch and before you know it you’re playing at being the owner of an amusement park with the biggest Rollercoaster ever!

I have skipped over some very important figures here including Leonardo Da Vinci, Sir Isaac Newton, Nikola Tesla and maybe even Thomas Eddison. Albert Einstein appears a bit later on in where I’m going.

Now the next age was the Digital Age, which obviously paved the way for computers and a whole new way of not only the way we live, but the way in which we worked out the way we live.

Take a simple device like a calculator. Or think think of how radio and television works. These devices seem to be way more advanced than the average human. Calculators are instant in their response, computers seem to know what we are going to ask before we finish asking. We are now, as an age, dependent on these devices.

Move on to the age of today, and I’m not sure everyone is aware of the age we are currently in. Today’s “Age” is known as the “AGE of INFORMATION”!!

The Age of Information. What does that mean exactly? Well, what it suggests is that information is available at any time, at any point, by any one. Any One!! Globally. So we have the ability to extract information on any subject at any time at the speed known to humans as instant.

If I turned up at your house ten years ago, stepped out of my self driving Tesla and presented next months sales projections on my iphone 10 whilst showing you adverts for things you were merely thinking about 5 minutes before!! You would have been convinced I had travelled back at least 50 years to show you this jump in technology.

It’s not so much that the technology is advancing at an alarming rate, it’s the fact that this technology is available to us, “the people”, and not just the military for example.

What’s My Point??

Ok, what I am saying is this. Every age we have progressed through so far involves physical interaction. It has involved some physical connection between the human and the tool he or she needs to use to perform whatever task. But not any more. This next step of progress, I refuse to use the word “Evolution” as I don’t believe in the terrible theory of evolving. This next step only requires thought. Thought!! that is it, literally just thinking.

Is this a bit hard to grasp?? Well let me put it to you another way. Have you ever mentioned something, or Googled something only to find that what you were mentioning or Googling came up as a suggestion on your phone?

This shit happens all the time. Ok, the stuff you search for can come up as a suggestion on another device! Of course, nothing weird there. But what about the stuff you talk about with someone? You still get suggestions or find it appear on one of your other devices. This then suggests that whilst your phone is in your pocket, it’s listening to everything!! EVERYTHING!!!

The level of the “Age of Information” that we have reached today is mind blowing. If like me, you were born into an analogue world and experienced the intervention of  “The Computer” in the 80’s, then you see just how ridiculous the advancement of this technology has been in the past 5 or 10 years.  We are headbutting the horizon of “Artificial Intelligence”  faster than we can keep up.

I’ve had conversations with people and pretty much everything I’ve talked about has come up as a suggestion on one device or another.

“Oh yeah but like you said earlier, your phone picks up the information”   I can hear people saying. Ok, that’s fine, but what if I didn’t have my phone with me at the time? Who’s listening when I am in my back garden with no phone or connection to my devices which are in the house? Super microphones on my devices? Maybe, I can’t rule anything out. But consider this, what if it is my suggestions inside me that creates the suggestion on my devices???

What??????

What if I only have to think about things for them to appear as suggestions on my devices??

Too crazy to believe? Well think about this. Every single instruction from the brain is an electrical single, an interpretation made from the electrical signals it receives from other parts of the body. No light gets through to the brain so it receives electrical signals from the eyes and builds a picture of what it understands you can see. It’s not that the image is being received by the eyes and sending that picture to the brain. It’s that the the brain is building a picture of the information it receives as electrical signals and projects the image out!  Your brain is projecting the image you see in front of you. Your eyes work the opposite way round to what you thought.

Let me explain this a bit simpler. Every action you make, from touching something to smelling something, tasting something or seeing something. Every hot cold hard or soft thing you touch, gets sent to the brain as information. If you pick up a peanut and put it into your mouth, every action involved from the hand grabbing the peanut, to your eyes seeing the peanut. The smell of that peanut and the taste of that peanut. Every action is an electrical signal sent from every part of the body to the brain as information.

I presume if you’re allergic to peanuts your brain is having a right hissy fit and saying, “NO!! No way, Put that peanut in your body and I’m going to send the signal that makes you bloat up like a frog Dumbass!”

The brain determines those actions and builds up a picture based on the information, (electrical signals) and tells you what is happening.  Consider the human to be a squidgy computer. We are no different to the technological devices we use apart from the fact our structure is not a hard, or rigid plastic.

Once you understand this it is difficult to separate us from technology itself. If our thoughts are electrical signals, then is it so hard to believe that we as “Humans” are connected to this Wifi system that exists today. Wifi sends electrical signals through the air, if we interact with those signals then are connected to everything. Your thoughts, as electrical signals, can be shown on any device you have connected using electrical signals.

So why the end of the world? Well if we are based on electrical signals, and we are on the verge of computer technology that is so advanced, (Artificial Intelligence) that it can replicate life as we know it, then surely with future super computers we will realise exactly what we are. At that point, we have nothing more to learn. Is this the point of understanding that resets the system as the “Game” will be completed?

The Matrix.  A Simulation.  Virtual Reality.  The fact that Quantum Physics has revealed that “Matter” does not exist.

Am I sold completely. Am I convinced. The Simulation argument………. ???????  Yes, and I will explain in another life when we are all cats. (Vanilla Sky).
