Records of universal synchronicities
#1
話說本老師啱啱去咗日本
同個喺日本工作嘅朋友食咗餐飯
自不然講起匯率嘅問題
然後十分之父權地請咗佢
仲叫佢留返啲港幣抗貶值算啦
第二日,就喺臉書見到呢個畫面
話說,雖然坊間盛傳咩偷聽電話、咩大數據演算法⋯ 以我理解佢哋(Big Tech)係唔會做到咁精準嘅,亦冇必要做到。唯一合理(?)解釋只有宇宙同步現像 ("synchronicity")。

Think Big
Before humans developed modern concepts of infinities, our concepts of reality were really constrained to small, finite things. When esoteric traditions told us about Greatness and Vastness, we had no idea how to imagine them. In the 20th century, however, with the advent of computer science, we invented a bunch of tools to reason about various kinds of unbounded infinities -- if only we had infinite time. To me, there is a vast untapped potential for the savvy computer theorist to further our understanding of our metaphysical reality with such modern tools. (This also ties in nicely with the simulation theory thingy mapping to the idea that this world we think we live in is not the real thing...)

Interpretation
Interpretation is inherently dualistic in nature.
There is the subject. And there is the interpretation. Linguistically "interpretation" implies it isn't equivalent to the original subject.
And thus it is a creation within the interpreter's mind.
There is a tension between the subject and the interpretation, i.e. which one is real.
In the "objective" (or at least inter-subjective) perspective, interpretations are unavoidable as every subjective mind understands the objective reality differently.
In the subjective worldview, interpretations are not necessary because each subjective "interpretation" (as seen by the objective view) are the truth.
The antithesis of abundance is rationality

If something is good only in measured amounts, it's not actually good.

Diagonalization, Halting, and Free Will
The diagonalization argument employed in Turing's proof of undecidability of programs seems to be too similar to the straightforward argument of "free will" that it probably warrants a closer re-examination...
