AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the inability to comprehend unconsciousness and eternity, particularly in relation to death. It highlights how consciousness and time shape human experience, leading to reflections on the past, present, and future. The conversation suggests that the brain compensates for the unknowns of death and unconsciousness through religion, akin to substituting an undefined mathematical expression with a value. There is speculation on whether scientific advancements that challenge religious beliefs would lead to a cessation of religious thought or if new theories would emerge to address the existential gap left by the concept of death. The complexity of understanding death is emphasized, as the brain cannot process time or consciousness in a state of non-existence.

Two things you can't compute: Unconciousness, and eternity - both which death is about.
We live in a daily life where conciousness and time is both a part of our daily life, and the conciousness combined with the time can make us think about past, present and future.
The brain has replaced the nothingness with religion, to fill out the error of unconciousness and eternity. Death could be the same as 0/0. We can't compute it, but if we replace it with saying that "= 0" we have substituted for the gap. Funny how the brain works isn't it? But do you think it's possible if Science prove god wrong, that the religion stops? Or will people keep trying to fill the gab of death, or will they build up another theory around something new, to fill out that we will no more exist? My brain has a hard time obviously computing how death would be like, because the brain doesn't compute time, or conciousness when it's dead.

Similar to the 2024 thread, here I start the 2025 thread. As always it is getting increasingly difficult to predict, so I will make a list based on other article predictions. You can also leave your prediction here. Here are the predictions of 2024 that did not make it: Peter Shor, David Deutsch and all the rest of the quantum computing community (various sources) Pablo Jarrillo Herrero, Allan McDonald and Rafi Bistritzer for magic angle in twisted graphene (various sources) Christoph...
Thread 'My experience as a hostage'
I believe it was the summer of 2001 that I made a trip to Peru for my work. I was a private contractor doing automation engineering and programming for various companies, including Frito Lay. Frito had purchased a snack food plant near Lima, Peru, and sent me down to oversee the upgrades to the systems and the startup. Peru was still suffering the ills of a recent civil war and I knew it was dicey, but the money was too good to pass up. It was a long trip to Lima; about 14 hours of airtime...
