For the first time, an experiment was proposed to prove the existence of the soul and the afterlife. Or the amazing adventures of Elon Musk in the metaverses
This is a google translation of the original article in Russian - https://teletype.in/@2levelgods/introduction
The article consists of 2 parts:
2. Hardcore explanation (only those who have asked similar questions themselves will understand)
If you understand virtual worlds, quantum physics, the problem of mind and body, you can skip the pop part and go straight to the hardcore part (although the story about Elon Musk in the pop part is very entertaining)
1. Pop part.
Let's start from afar so that it becomes clear what we are talking about.
One sunny day you are walking in the park and suddenly you meet a robot.
- I am a robot and came from the Alpha Centauri system. You are the first earthling I have met. Let's be friends. I love to help and be useful to someone.
You play chess with a robot and it beats you. Then you play Go and he beats again. He translates better than you from foreign languages, with a word he does you in full.
And then you realize that this robot is many times better than those made by people. What if we study the device of this robot and start releasing copies of it?
You imagine how you come with a robot to your friends at Tesla. Then imagine how a billion dollars falls into your account. Then you mentally set off to choose a 100 meter yacht for yourself ...
However, suddenly you remember the story of how a primitive robot was made back in the 18th century, and it also beat everyone in chess, but later it turned out that a person was sitting inside this robot.
And you present a different picture. Your extremely smart friend Elon Musk made this robot and controls it via radio. And in fact, it’s not the robot that beats you at chess, but your friend (and he can).
And so you come with this robot to Tesla, and there everyone is already waiting for you and rolling with laughter. Moreover, they broadcast your arrival on Youtube, and half the planet makes fun of you.
Once a wild man was given a telephone receiver and he began to talk with the receiver, deciding that it was alive. Ms. tube, can you explain... The wild man did not understand that the tube was only a transmitter, and he was actually communicating with the person on the other end of the communication line.
If the robot is controlled by Elon, then you look like this wild man.
But what if the robot is still real? I want to get a billion dollars.
So, you have a task in a billion - to determine whether Elon Musk controls the robot. In another formulation, is the robot just a transmitter (complex phone). What will you do?
And then a brilliant idea comes to your mind.
You turn off the robot. Then turn on and say a series of phrases, show a series of gestures. The robot is answering you. You record the robot's responses and actions on video. Then turn off the robot again, turn it on and repeat the series of your actions exactly as the first time. Repeat the cycle a hundred times.
The idea is that a robot is a robot that will act the same way every time in the same situations.
You watch the recorded videos and understand that every hundred times the robot acted in exactly the same way. So he really is a robot. Elon Musk would be tired of repeating the same thing a hundred times.
Then it dawns on you. It's Elon Musk! He is very cunning, figured out your idea and really repeated the actions all 100 times.
You lose your temper, turn on the robot and start calling names and making obscene gestures. At first, the robot does not respond. You turn it off and repeat it over and over again.
Once again, Elon Musk can’t stand it anymore (it was really him, and he was sick and tired of looking at your antics), the robot grabs a stick and starts beating you.
What if Elon Musk is your soul?
Now imagine that figuratively the robot is your body, and Elon Musk is your soul.
If the robot (your body) is destroyed, Elon Musk (your soul) will remain unharmed and will be able to control the new robot (your soul will be resurrected in a new body).
Elon Musk is a robot, but this is inaccurate.
Let's complicate the thought experiment.
Elon Musk puts on virtual reality goggles. The video signal from the cameras in the eyes of the robot is transmitted to the glasses. Elon Musk sees what a robot sees. When Elon moves his hand, the robot also moves his hand. When the robot touches objects, Elon feels the touch through sensory gloves. In other words, Musk has placed himself in the robot's virtual reality.
Now imagine that Elon lost his memory. This sometimes happens to people (for example, after a stroke). He does not remember who he is, where he is, what year it is and who is the president. Only when he looks in the mirror does he remember that he is human. One day, when Elon is sleeping, they put on those same VR glasses. And when Musk woke up and looked in the mirror, he found that he was a robot.
Allegorically - the soul believed that it was the body.
Elon wasn't even surprised. Well, robot and robot, you think, a big deal. And so Musk went for a walk in the park... Yes, in the same park.
And then one sunny day, walking in the park, you meet a robot...
And you have to determine again if it is a real robot, or if it has a soul.
Elon Musk is still a man and is at home, and not at all in the park, although he believes that he is a robot and is in the park. Your soul, being in another dimension, believed that it is your body and lives on earth.
Do you have a soul? Maybe after the death of the body you will be resurrected in another? How to define it?
These questions are answered by the theory of Prophecy "Gods of the 2nd Level". Moreover, the theory offers an experiment to prove the correctness of this theory (Petrakov's test). The essence of the theory cannot be explained on the fingers and in a nutshell - you need to understand thoughtfully and in detail.
In short, if the robot is controlled by Elon Musk, then the robot receives a control radio signal from the outside. It is enough to find a way to determine whether this signal exists and prove that it comes from outside.
If you prove that your brain receives a signal from another dimension, then this will confirm the existence of your soul.
Have you read pop explanations of the theory of relativity? They confuse rather than explain. There is no poppy simple explanation of the essence of quantum mechanics. When you have devoted enough time to studying these theories, only then do you read poppy explanations and understand what they are talking about and how they distort the picture. However, you yourself still cannot adequately explain these theories to a beginner.
This article was published to interest you (if of course you are interested) to understand the theory in more detail.
Therefore, I will still give one of the options for a pop explanation. "God Level 2" is a special other dimension. Your soul lives in this dimension. After the death of the body, you are resurrected in a new one. You will reincarnate forever. And having understood the essence of the universe, you will want to take control of your reincarnations. You don't want to be resurrected in the body of a frog.
The culturally rooted idea of the soul is fundamentally wrong. Your soul does not consist of your thoughts, beliefs, does not contain your character and even your memory - it is all programmed into your neurons. Once in the next world, you will not be the same person as on earth. Your soul is completely different from you. The robot is very different from Elon Musk.
If the robot's video camera fails, then Elon Musk realizes that he has vision problems. However, the eyes of Elon himself (a person) remain in perfect order. If the robot’s computer broke down and selective scolding and orders to urgently run away from the park poured out of the Mask’s headphones, then Elon hears these sounds, it seems to him that the gods are ordering him from heaven or he has gone mad. However, with Elon's human body, everything is still in perfect order, the robot, not Musk, has broken (the robot, not Musk, has gone crazy).
I am aware of the problems of interactive dualism, such as infinite regression (does the soul have its own soul?) - the theory solves them - the explanation in Prophecy number XX.8. in the full text of the theory.
How to prove this theory experimentally? Again, in a nutshell - to catch the control signal that comes to the brain from the outside from the soul and show that this is a meaningful control signal. This is the essence of the Petrakov Test. If only hissing and random sounds are heard from the handset, then there is no one on the other end of the line. If you hear a meaningful speech from the handset, then there is an intelligent being on the other end of the wire.
In the 19th century, the most important theory was Darwin's evolution. "Gods of the 2nd Level" claims to be the main theory of the 21st century. Ages of metaverses and genome editing. There was not a single formula in Darwin's theory - she explained the world (painted a picture of evolution) by adding a large puzzle of many facts about the world. And Darwin didn't do experiments at the Large Andron Collider, he just traveled, looked at strange animals and thought. "2 Level Gods" do the same with respect to the main philosophical problem - the riddle of consciousness. Prophecies collect facts about the world into a big puzzle, and when you put the last piece of the puzzle, you will see a new beautiful picture of our world. And from this puzzle you cannot pull out a piece, you cannot replace it with another.
You are a "Second Level God", you just don't know it yet and believe that your body is you.
Elon Musk is a Martian mutant.
Now imagine that Elon Musk has been walking in the park for 20 years and believes that he is a robot. Meanwhile, Elon's friends built a Starship and transported Elon's human body (with VR glasses on) to Mars. Musk's body on Mars began to mutate. He has grown tentacles around his mouth (although he does not use them), a beautiful fluffy tail has appeared. His skin became transparent - blood vessels and internal organs are visible. Through the chest, you can see how the heart beats. The heart has become fluorescent and emits a bright blue light. The eternal truths of wisdom, peace and goodness are encrypted in Morse code in pulses of light. Now, with every heartbeat, Elon brings the light of truth into this world.
Meanwhile, on Earth, a couple of Luddites living on the outskirts of the park have lost their patience. They attacked the robot with huge wrenches and broke it. When Elon saw the wrench hit his face, he involuntarily staggered back with his entire real human body and VR goggles flew off him. Musk stood in front of a mirror and saw his neon heart beating. Where am I? Who am I? Elon thought. He tried to ask something from strange creatures running around him with tentacles, crab mites, metal limbs (Mask's friends on Mars also mutated). However, no one understood Elon - for 20 years, the language of the colonists mutated into a whistle. Voila, he ended up on the “2 Level Gods” (actually no, it's still 1LG) on 2LG is still more wild and incomprehensible (the laws of physics are different). In addition, Elon looked out the window and saw that the planet Mars is now called the planet Musk. I knew it, Elon thought.
Do you think that history has completely mutated into the realm of fantasy?
Your reality is much more fantastic. If you remove your VR goggles, you can see Schrödinger's cats in two places at the same time.
Do not forget that this is still a pop description and reality is much more complicated.
You are not reading science fiction, but a poppy description of the real world with the proposed experimental evidence.
Elon Musk is a magician.
Elon slaps someone's tentacle on the head, and he loses consciousness. When he woke up, he realized that he was standing on the ceiling of a huge throne room. Fine crystal chandeliers hung and swayed beside him. He dropped a crystal ball from his right hand and it fell up (in the sense not under Elon's feet, but above his head), where it crashed on the floor of the hall. Elon for some reason ran along the ceiling, made a pass with his hands and shouted Akhrymutahry79 (a magic spell for teleportation). Suddenly, a round portal opened in front of him, Musk dived into it and found himself flying in the blue sky. Elon lowered his palms down parallel to the ground, and rocket fire erupted from his palms. Perhaps I turned into a Starship? Elon thought.
Well, that's it, the story from science fiction has slipped into magical fantasy, you probably thought.
On the contrary, story has become real as never before. Elon found himself just in the most ordinary metaverse, which a couple of dozen corporations are already building now. Metaverses will be fantasy worlds with different laws of physics and working magic. In ten years, you will consider the last scene with Elon your daily banality.
Elon Musk is a god (admit you knew that).
Suddenly, Elon opened his eyes and realized that he was floating in weightlessness, around the black space with unusually brightly shining stars and galaxies (well, he definitely turned into a Starship, Elon thought). However, suddenly angels appeared around him and began to sing in such angelic voices that Musk felt completely new sensations for him, which he had never experienced before. In addition, there was no word in the language to describe this feeling. He felt divine power, divine all-pervading love. He felt that he had grasped the very essence of the universe. He flew faster than the speed of light, trying to reach the edge of the universe, but began to move back in time and he quickly got tired of it. Let there be light, said Elon, and by the power of his thought and will created the Earth. Musk decided to postpone the creation of the Garden of Eden and people to Saturday. In the meantime, he began to communicate with very strange aliens. He again lacked words to describe them. They squeaked something and blinked their heads, Elon did not understand their language, but telepathically understood that they were calling him to visit them in the 4th dimension. But Elon did not understand how to get there. It seemed to Elon that an eternity had passed, he really felt eternity (so that's what you are, eternity, Elon thought).
Well, that's it, hardcore science fiction has gone far away, transhumanism and the singularity, again you think. However, this is just an ultra realistic description of meditation in a sensory deprivation chamber (when you swim in the water in a dark barrel, and do it for a long time). Many people have described similar sensations.
And it's still "1 Level Gods". On "2 Level Gods" you will see Schrödinger's cats in two places at the same time, and you will also see the 4th dimension, and maybe even the 5th. It is impossible to simulate (reproduce) such things in the metaverses - therefore the metaverses are 1LG.
When you remove your VR glasses (metaphorical), you will see 2LG. When you are next to Elon on 2LG, you will see his thoughts (for sure he will think about how to build an electric supersonic aircraft). If you memorize the drawings of such an aircraft from Elon's thoughts, you can sell them and become a millionaire. No, it's copyright infringement...
Okay, Elon, enough of your adventures for today.
Let's move on to the hardcore part of the article.
Elon Musk has many more adventures ahead - subscribe to read the sequel. Telegram channel - https://t.me/TwoLevelGods
PS: At the moment, Elon Musk is on Mars (more precisely, the planet Musk), looking at his neon heart in the mirror and counting the pulses of light. Using Morse code, Elon reads the "Gods of the 2 Level" Prophecies. Musk then plans to conduct Petrakov's experiment himself. Don't be left behind either.
2. And now for the hardcore description.
Prophecies "2 Level of Gods" briefly (thesis):
Obvious things:
Your brain, by analogy with a computer, creates a virtual reality (Virt) and you live in this Virt
Your Virt is in another dimension - an ideal world
The brain, by analogy with a radio, is a transmitter. The brain receives as much information from your Virt as it does from the material world through the eyes, ears… Information from the Virt is transmitted through controlled collapse of many wave functions inside the brain
The Universe is 100% a simulation, but not an ordinary one (by ordinary we mean a simulation running on classical computers), but a quantum one.
When you are in the virtual world (normal), then your brain is in the outside world. The control signal of your avatar comes to the virtual world "from above"
Now you are not in the virtual world (ordinary), because otherwise you would remember the evolution of neural interfaces. Selectively erasing information of this kind is too difficult, even with a strong increase in scientific and technological progress (combinatorial explosion when trying to calculate a change in the configuration of synapses)
"1 Level Gods" - our near future, when humanity will build metaverses and learn how to change the brain genome, improve brain design
"2 Level of Gods" - beings are able to control the collapse of the wave function, they see molecules in two places at the same time. You can directly see the consciousness (qualia, virt) of other beings and people
You have a "soul" - a kind of analogue of the brain, located on 2LG. Analogy. When you see a picture on the screen, the pixels in the picture correspond to bits of information inside the computer. However, the physical computer itself is needed to connect the bits and pixels. Your feelings, thoughts, seeing color (qualia) are connected to neural activity in your brain. However, there needs to be a "computer" that connects your qualia to your neural activity.
You are inside a quantum simulation. The outside world is not like ours. There are different laws of physics and you are "real" - an unknowable alien from another dimension
Your brain receives a control signal from 2LG. When you first experienced an orgasm, felt the taste of olives, fell in love for the first time, then these sensations just appeared to you, flashed inside your Virt. You did not control this process, you could not predict it. You didn't know what it was like to "fall in love" until you fell in love
It is possible to experimentally confirm the existence of 2LG. It is necessary to catch the control signal from 2LG. The experiment is described in Petrakov's test for the presence of qualia in robots. It is too difficult to catch the signal in the brain. It is necessary to create a robot that receives a control signal using the collapse of the wave function and understand that this signal is not random. So the signal is sent by someone with the intention
Sleepwalkers are philosophical zombies without qualia. However, they are only capable of primitive activities.
When you learn to drive a car, you are tense and in control of your every movement (your Virt has the qualia of your movements). When you have learned, your actions become automatic - you do not think about how to control your legs by pressing the pedals. When the body reaches automatism (recording the action program in the brain), qualia disappear as unnecessary. So they perform a control function, your Virt is an active agent
The fact that qualia disappear when the body reaches automatism is the cornerstone of the Prophecies "Gods of the 2nd Level"
Less obvious things:
Perhaps, despite the fact that the world is full of pain and evil, there is a god, and he is good. Maybe this god is you.
Perhaps you "real" sent yourself into a simulation for a mission.
And you yourself did it so as not to remember about 2LG - this is how it is necessary to complete the mission
Imagine that you are planning a hostage rescue operation. You create a simulation (normal) and put yourself in it to practice a lot of options. And you have to think that you are in the real world so that your decisions are not too risky. And you should feel pain in the process if something goes wrong
Obviously, in the simulation (our world) there are other gods from 2LG and they have their own missions
The world is like a multiplayer computer game, where the real gamers are "aliens" on 2LG. Imagine that you are playing a game in VR glasses, controlling a cartoon duck and running along the ceiling. In excitement, you are so immersed in the gameplay that you lose all thoughts except for the game. You really consider yourself a duck for a while and you can run on the ceiling. And imagine hypothetically that you were born in such a game (immediately after birth you were placed in the game). It's conceivable. In the cartoon game, there are no tools for understanding the world, no microscopes, and you will have no idea what a computer is. You will consider yourself a cartoon duck, in fact, being a creature that you cannot even imagine if you have lived all your life in a cartoon world. Our world is much more cognizable, but there is a limit to cognition - the quantum limit. However, we have the ability to catch the control signal coming from beyond the quantum limit
As you fulfill your mission, you sparkle with emotions of a wide range and intensity - from delight to possibly negative emotions. Or you come up with deep new ideas and insights
If you are fulfilling someone else's mission imposed on you by other gods, then your feelings, emotions, qualia fade
A common mission for a group of people is possible
Imagine dropping a spetsnaz detachment to capture the "tongue". The group has a common mission, each commando has his own mission. And although there is a beautiful plan (an analogue of the divine plan (god's plan)), the operation often goes chaotically, because other people interfere with their plans, there are laws of physics and chance
Your "air drop" (re-ircarnation) to your place of birth on your birthday is not accidental (you were not born in a random body). Your “device” on 2LG is suitable for your mission, under these conditions. Each paratrooper is given a mission that he can handle better than others.
You cannot die "to yourself", feel dead. You will forever be resurrected in some kind of virt, otherwise your life is now some kind of mega special (it is necessary to answer the question why you are living right now). This is similar to the theory of relativity - why does some reference point in space have a privileged position? All reference points are equal
Completing a mission leads to your reincarnation in a better virt than failing or ignoring your mission
Taking control of your resurrections is the most important project in human history.
Probably no one wants to be a frog in the next life
Being in the virtual nightmare can be so awful that people wake up screaming.
If you experienced pain so strong that you wanted to die, if only not to experience it, then you understand the horror of being locked in such a virt forever. Such a possibility is not excluded. Just one example - radical religious fanatics will build a virtual hell and try to close people in it who disagree with their interpretation of religion
Scientific and technological progress is moving towards immortality in physical bodies. There are no fundamental barriers. After all, only the brain matters. Given the plasticity of the brain, it will be possible to grow new young neurons to replace broken ones. I think it will happen in the next couple of decades.
Trillion dollar question:
What to choose, immortality in the physical body, or natural reincarnation? Do those who choose immortality lose something important?
This question will soon be asked every day by billions of people.
The "2 Level Gods" project aims to give people the ability to control their own reincarnations. Themselves to choose the Virt, in which you find yourself in the future. To do this, you yourself need to turn into gods of level 2
This is the most important project in the history of mankind and affects everyone (think of your favorite people)
Mikhail Petrakov plans to create a fund "2 Level Gods". The fund will invest in start-ups engaged in research in the field of gene editing, creating a brain-computer interface, optogenetics, creating wetware robots, experiments to improve the design of the human brain
Grants will be given to researchers in these areas
Along the way, the intelligence of people who agreed to improve their brain and connect it to AI will be dramatically increased.
The radical growth of intelligence and the merger with AI will solve all the current world problems from hunger and inequality, to climate change and the eradication of all diseases. In fact, this is a project to create a paradise
The author of this article is personally interested in achieving the ability to manage his reincarnations as soon as possible, I don’t want to resurrect in the body of a frog
If you understand the importance of the goals set by the project, support the project, spread the word about it. After all, the success of the project will allow you to control your reincarnations.
"Gods of 2 Level" - a revolution in the entertainment and sports industry
The second part of the project, independent of the first part
Each prophecy will have its own special NFT associated with it. Now the first legendary batch of 11 NFTs has been released
The owner of each NFT becomes available his own special unique "Magic artifact" with 2LG. Gentlemens, materialists (if there are any after reading the article), do not faint - these artifacts will be used in fantasy metaverses. The owner of the NFT owns all commercial copyrights to their artifact. It can be shown in games and films, collect license fees
The cost of the first batch of NFTs is several billion dollars. Most of the proceeds from the sale of NFT will go to fund the fund, issue grants and achieve the goals of the project.
The theory of the device of the world "Gods of the 2nd Level" is correct. Because it answers too many open questions (too much intertwined with facts about our world). After passing the Petrakov test as the first robot, you will have to rewrite half of Wikipedia, at least in part of philosophy
