The Human Factor, Einstein and the Games at Play in the Universe

If you were asked “Does God play dice with the Universe?”, what would be your answer?

It is well reknown the answer Einstein gave to this question, basing mostly his belief on his theory of relativity: a sound NO, a firm convition that everyhing in the universe is following an already written story.

In fact what is the consequence of saying that time isn’t something equal for everyone, but it depends on the obsever and its relative velocity?

It means that someone who is fast enough is already in the future respect to someone who is stationary.

Maybe while I’m writing this blog post, a super fast flying saucer in a point of the space is looking back at the Earth a hundred of years from now, when everything I’ll do or every stupid I’ll say in my own future, is something that has already happened.

According to Einstein time is a dimension where past, present and future are illusions of the mind: time and space are the same thing, every point in the room where I am right now coexist in a continous space, exactly like yesterday, today and tomorrow coexist in time.

The consequence is that my free will seems something not really relevant: if I’m already in the past for someone else, am I deciding anything in reality?

Again, Einstein would say that yes, free will is another illusion, better than that, he said the following:

“If the moon, in the act of completing its eternal way around the earth, were gifted with self-consciousness, it would feel thoroughly convinced that it was traveling its way of its own accord on the strength of a resolution taken once and for all. So would a Being, endowed with higher insight and more perfect intelligence, watching man and his doings, smile about man's illusion that he was acting according to his own free will. “

But what can I say to console myself about the fact that passing an hour choosing the right font for an article is better than choosing the first one at random, because the universe has already decided that font for me?

Well it can be a small consolation, but when philosopy crosses science everyone can have their saying. So like a detective searching for clues, I’ll search what I can say to save my right to make mistake that are only my fault and not decided by some equation running in the background of the stars, so I’ll point to the fact that in his honoured career Einstein wasn’t always right.

For example for a long time Einstein thaught that the Universe was static, the stars fixed in their place, now and forever: because his equations weren’t predicting a static universe, he added a “cosmological constant” to them so to make the Universe static as he liked. Later many experiments, in particular from Edwin Hubble, demonstrated that the univere was instead expanding, because the light from the stars showed the phenomenon of red-shifting, indicating that the stars were accelerating. In the end Einstein reconsidered his opionions and he admitted his error, defining the cosmological constant his greater blunder. Einsteins remains an icredible genius nonetheless, but what makes his error so precious to me is that when it comes to translating the results of calculations or of experiments to “laws” that govern life, sometimes it is “the human factor”, the totality of dreams, hopes and sometimes prejudice to guide the mind, rather than an incontestable applications of the said laws. Einstein wanted to believe in an ordered universe and he tried to find a way to the universe he liked through calculations: I understand that, I wish I could think everything really make sense as well, but I’d accept a bit of chaos in exchange of my free will. Another clue: Einsten theories cannot explain quantum physics mechanics, so we can say that maybe he didn’t have the full picture at hand, leaving to my free will a space where everything can happen: it’s big like a quantum particle, but is full of expectations. What would I answer about the dice and the universe? Well, I have my own bag of dreams, hopes and maybe prejudice as well, but I would say that judging by what happens, this universe isn’t just a game of dice, it is the full casino.

btw. your search for the most morally upright and ethical piece of media that has the most correct “representation” will destroy your ability to find the most profound and beautiful and human of stories. and may even destroy the stories themselves before they are created. if you even care.

#the search for the Ideal Representation is both unattainable and soul-crushing. childrens cartoons moral codes are not #the best way to judge a piece of media #and the stories created by the very people in the communities that are most silenced are always the first ones to be #targeted for their Problematic Factors #as if any story can properly encapsulate the breadth of every complex human experience in one go #something isn't inherently deserving of being reduced to Irredeemable Media status just because you cannot personally relate to it #on the other hand approaching every single story as if its only value is its Shipping Status and how you can #incorporate it into your identity (and stake your Moral Uprightness based on how Ethically you consume said media) #is not necessarily any better. but different post is needed. #aughhhh bite bite chomp kill

Basically, my philosophy around disability fakers is: I would rather a thousand people fake a disability than have one disabled person suffer without care, aids, compassion, or any help.

#disability #disability advocacy #and there's a difference not many people seem to recognize between faking and realizing you don't have [x] problem... #...such as realizing you don't have [x] disorder because it is instead [y] disorder... #...or you haven't completely understood your care needs/your symptoms/what helps you... #...and some people see ANY change in your understanding of your disability as proof of maliciously faking... #...when i suppose in my personal experience people don't *maliciously* fake disability... #...i'm not saying it could never happen but that i don't think it's the *only* thing motivating people called fakers #i just think (like most everything) this is complex and nuanced because it's a *human* experience #like for me personally i /know/ i still have a lot to learn about my disabilities... #...like... i realized recently that my hands shouldn't be in AGONY when warm water is ran over them when it's SLIGHTLY cold inside or out... #...and i realized that i likely have a Noticable limb difference that needs checking out. does this sound like i'm faking... #...or that maybe i just didn't really explore my own needs and body because of a variety of factors? #i can assure you it is because i haven't really thought before about how i deserved to understand how to best help myself

ten is aroace for this one sorry society

#human ten is actually so. different. from normal ten. i really appreciate how he's portrayed as like #this empty shell of a person. past the surface level there's just kind of nothing underneath #he isn't selfless. and nowhere near as caring. like he's fine with kids growing up to be soldiers under his watch #he is like a blank wobbly sheet of paper. factoring in reading (normal) ten as aroace and this makes the point crunch in such a funny way #dr who #asexual #aromantic #tenth doctor #aroace #aspec doc tag #10 era

My dungeons and dragons bard's backstory involves her having had a meltdown on stage in front of an audience of aristocrats. See, she thought she heard people laughing and whispering in the crowd—turns out it was one of those ghosts she's been ignoring for years. The sheer embarrassment was enough for her to skip town for a while.

#dungeons and dragons #dnd #dnd character #dnd oc #dnd art #bard #human #clarette chaleur #college of spirits #ever hear someone laughing in the audience at your operatic performance and have a public meltdown on stage as the spotlight follows you #then realize the person laughing was one of those pesky ghosts you keep trying to ignore? #some other factors went into this meltdown but the giggling and whispers she thought she heard set it off #sketch #oc #clarette

No one should be obligated to feel sympathy for a bunch of rich people who are probably dead after spending a grotesque amount of money doing something stupidly risky for no practical reason but that they’re rich and bored,

BUT

I do think it’s fucked up that some of you guys seem to think it’s a moral failing to feel anything but glee and delight at a bunch of people, one of which is 19, suffering one of the most horrific deaths imaginable that I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy.

#titanic #oceangate #it’s possible to be critical of all the factors that lead to the situation in the first place #(ft a whole lot of greed and hubris) #while also having a modicum of sympathy for a fellow human being suffering a truly nightmarish death #but pitying horrendous human suffering when the people involve are rich makes you a bootlicker apparently??

*Sometime after 1475 in hell*

Satan: Yo, Luci, has Vlad Tepes showed up yet? He died like three months ago, and he's not heaven

Lucifer: What? No. He hasn't showed up at all, the fuck do you mean he isn't in heaven?

Satan: Yea, some angel was asking if we had him, because we didn't. There's also like an ungodly amount of souls missing aside from that one. I think there's like over four thousand souls that are also missing as well...

Lucifer: ....There's four thousand souls missing?

Satan: Yes.

Lucifer: Well, I guess we should see what's going down on the Mortal planes than....

*Dracula doing as Dracula does and devouring his own people*

Lucifer: Ok, who the fuck allowed that to happen? Who the fuck green lit that? Who let Vlad Tepes turn into a goddamn Eldritch abomination??

Satan: I think the humans are calling it a vampire

Lucifer: A vampire? That's what that is? I'm sorry, that still doesn't answer my question of who in the seven layers of hell green lit that thing!!

Satan: We didn't. The blood choose for it happen.

Lucifer: The fuck do you mean the blood chose for it

Satan: Too many people died in one place, and Vlad was too angry to die.

Lucifer: .....God allowed this to happen didn't he? He fucking let this happen, didn't He, the fucking bastard

#enjoy my rambles #alucard hellsing #hellsing #vladcard #hellsing ultimate #dracula #shitpost #Vladcard was too angry to die and so was four thousand other souls #God may or may not have let this happen for shits and giggles #hell had nothing to do with Alucard's state of being #An Eldritch being of neither heaven or hell #Just the abyss #Based off my theory that Alucard's method of becoming a vampire is based on two factors and neither of them are related to heaven or hell #but like based more in the nature of humans and more primordial aspects

[humandisorderincarnatedean]

what I would love is just. acknowledgement that what dean did in hell and the fact he adapted to enjoy it wasn’t something he chose to do in any way. that choosing to do sth is not the same as being tortured into it. i know the show’d never have done that it was too busy doing other stuff. idk i’d just have liked SOMEONE to mention it instead of holding dean responsible for it like it was just... any other bad decision someone made. a mistake, like taking on the mark or trusting gadreel. it’s not a mistake dean made, it was a survival tactic

#was it wrong? that doesn't matter. that's not a factor in it happening. #and it's not like being turned into a torturer revealed something deep and hidden that was unique to dean #the fact that it was dean who broke and who was taught all that shows that the same thing would happen to anyone in his place #it's not a dean specific thing it's a humanity thing. because dean = humanity etc etc #dean winchester #+ hell #.txt

something something people have always been storytellers, storytelling is a load bearing pillar of the human experience, collaborative creation and dispersal of stories is one of the most ancient of all practices. positioning those stories as being in the film medium from the moment of conception is obviously a new one but i do feel our distant ancestors in this chili's tonight

#i reiterate i'm absolutely obsessed with all the factors at play in the goncharovian texts #the marriage of tumblr's most time-honoured tradition of telling blatant lies with full conviction humanity's most time-honoured #tradition of creating characters and journeys for those characters to go on and the best leavening agent of all... mass hysteria #goncharov

I think the reason Amphibia's seriousness is so shocking for the kind of media it is is bc unlike a lot of other similar cartoons it just. doesn't lean into the supervillain/supernatural element as much for the seriousness. like it does but when you look at it on a level of "okay when were the most serious bits" it's not ALL "super high stakes fight that leads to tragic moments", it's also "a 13 year old bully just tried killing himself on screen" it's "another 13 year old just revealed they kidnapped their closest friends for two seasons because they were lonely" it's "10 year old reveals that his parents died when he was younger and he didn't think he was allowed to miss them" it's "main protagonist openly says she didn't love herself" it's "main protagonist becomes next in line to be god of all creation because she chose to be kind" it's "main antagonist lets himself become nearly obliterated because he chose to believe in change and loss at the request of his long-dead love" it's "but of the things you let go you'd be surprised what makes its way back to you" essentially I'm saying that Amphibia is about humanity as it always has been

#it's bc of the difference of character-driven vs plot-driven basically. it's what makes it so strong in this element #just at every turn there is humanity in amphibia if you know how to look #ik I've stated this a million different times in a million different ways. but this is the factor of the show that won't stop haunting me #amphibia
