Once again about the structure of the Universe through the lens of our fear.

Alex Karmazin - responding to your question - here is a set of interconnected concepts:

1. Simulation Hypothesis - [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simulation_hypothesis )

2. Digital Physics + [Bit.ly ](https://bit.ly/4bg6liB )

At this level, physics and mathematics reach an unsolvable impasse, falling victim to their fear and narrow determinism.

Contradictions are resolved with meta concepts such as:

3. Dramaturgy, which describes life through the framework of the Hero’s Journey and Melodrama as a super mission in the quest for wholeness or the pursuit of truth (in a broader sense).

Of course, melodrama is crudely understood as the striving for the reunification of the masculine and feminine principles through overcoming obstacles.

4. However, once we understand that overcoming any obstacles requires multiple attempts with unpredictable outcomes, Skinner’s fundamental mechanics with variable rewards emerge, leading to a more realistic framework - Game Design.

Game Design clarifies all levels of what we call the meaning of life and provides a new level of understanding, considering the role of neurotransmitters and hormones. This isn’t a return to determinism, but neurotransmitters act as crutches until reaching another level of awareness, where the influence of affects is compensated by will (and seeing what is - like Neo who begins to see the "informational level of reality," which digital physics, by the way, also talks about).

Overall, most scientists fear introducing "meaning" into the perception of the Universe because it inevitably leads them to creationism, which they cannot accept.

From the assumption of creationism follows the projection of poor ethics and morality, then notions of shame/sin stemming from this.

Scientists can't cope with this because, despite all their degrees, they are ordinary slaves to narratives and to some extent corporate slaves thinking about Hirsch, fame, and grants, meaning they are not immune to human concerns.

Therefore, scientists lack the strength to bring "human dirt" into the "pure beauty of mathematics," which is an expression of the prevailing insignificance and cowardice in the pursuit of Knowledge. They cannot even overcome the 1st Enemy. But who am I to judge them for this? I myself cannot. But I can troll, including myself.

5. To some extent, correlations can be found with the plots of the concept of Leela: [Bit.ly ](https://bit.ly/3RJOxpc )

6. Obviously, this approach gives rise to the vision of the world as a multiverse, hierarchy (as a particular case of the topology of the multiverse), and recursion (the topology of the multiverse closed on itself).

Hence the various ideas of "liberation," which constitute the central element of any "spiritual tradition." Hence any empirical attempts to move to other levels of hierarchy or beyond recursion. Like "What’s beyond the horizon?" - by the way, one of the most addictive mechanics in game design.

Ancient people did this through attaining altered states of consciousness (believing it would help??), using 3 available tools:

- Organic psychedelics

- Psychotechniques (when psychedelics were not at hand)

- Stress

Naturally, even a slight altered state of consciousness generates the desire to share all this, hence the wandering plots, archetypes, common myths, because revelation is an objective phenomenon.

Another matter is that attempting to convey meaning from a higher language (with a broad range of concepts) to a lower level accessible to the masses leads to a so-called resection of meaning. This is observed in the abundance of metaphors, allegories, which "simple" people are naturally inclined to understand literally. Hence all these equally "simple" and comprehensible conspiracy theories coupled with the poor imagination of their authors.

But obviously, 99% of practices, including the profanation of Vipassana, etc., are marketing tools and mythologies.

In general, in any so-called spiritual tradition, there are branches of mysticism that practically attempt to solve the problem of the existential prison we all find ourselves in, hence "liberation," etc.

And then literature, religious institutions, and so on.

Since science has been in a severe impasse of "explanation" for the last 50-70 years + a holy place is never empty, modern religions like healthy lifestyles, flat earth, etc., have flourished against the backdrop of the stagnation of world religions. The exception is Islam, but it has transformed from a religion of liberation into a sect of protest and has long been more of a geopolitical tool than a religion.
