"Where is the Life we have lost in living? Where is the wisdom we have lost in knowledge? Where is the knowledge we have lost in information?"-T. S. Eliot
A Meaning Hypothesis for Consciousness
Meaning is NOT hard-coded and fixed. Meaning gets De-Constructed and its' Informational Components in Memory Re-Combined, Re-Interpreted and Re-Confabulated to Fit the Current Sensory Contextual Environment and Produce a New Instantaneous and Temporarily Meaning Sustained in the Brains Bio-Electric Brainwave Pattern (Consciousness). Only the "Scent" of its Meaning remains in the New Informational Memories Formed and Stored in the Brain Cells and Engrams.
The "agency" lies in the Newly Combined Bio-electric field that gets re-distributed around the brain and body and impels action /re-action to the temporary meaning held in consciousness. The PERT Network-like brain engram patterns are the Process/Work-Flow elements that connect informational elements and spark individual Brain Cells to Fire in specific combinatorial sequences and create the Bio-Electric "meaning" field of consciousness. (Models for above)
Informational Difference and Combinatorial Repetition
Integrated Information Theory proposes that consciousness arises from the capacity of a system to integrate information, where integration refers to the ability to combine diverse pieces of information into a unified whole. This theory suggests that the quality of consciousness is directly related to the complexity and interconnectedness of these informational relationships within a system.

“We can express our feelings regarding the world around us either by poetic or by descriptive means... I prefer to express myself metaphorically. Let me stress: metaphorically, not symbolically. A symbol contains within itself a definite meaning, certain intellectual formula, while metaphor is an image. An image possessing the same distinguishing features as the world it represents. An image — as opposed to a symbol — is indefinite in meaning. One cannot speak of the infinite world by applying tools that are definite and finite. We can analyse the formula that constitutes a symbol, while metaphor is a being-within-itself, it’s a monomial. It falls apart at any attempt of touching it."Andrei Tarkovsky

How Religion is Destroying our Civilization
Meaning is NOT hard-coded, Information gets Re-Interpretted
and Re-Confabulated...
Christianity gets re-encoded onto Athenian Democracy and Wallah!
Religion isn't destroying anything... it's being broken down by capitalist commodification under late-capitalism.
....such is the power of capitalism's creative-destruction.
...and their CIA hammers.
The formulation of myth in defense of myth. Makes perfect sense.
The myth of a Constitutional Democracy is our "civic" religion.
...and when it comes to "meaning" SCotUS is G_d!
Not any more. Just another myth. Gods have always been a myth. They will continue to be myth. Monotheism, the religions that are the opiates of the dependent and easily controlled mind.
Easily Controlled? Or Simply Not as Easily Assimilated into New Systems of Control?
Like Star Trek's federation... resistant to Borg assimilation.
...which is the entire point of the Peter/Cock Crow story in the New Testament. It's a katechon (that which witholds).
It re-localizes Power to a transcendent place Superior to Secular Control Centers.
...for Thine is the Kingdom, and the Power, and the Glory forever, Amen.
Traditional cultures... just going outdated. Yawn.
:-)))))))
What do you know about Infinity?
Mythological memories awaiting recombination...
Which one, the +1 one? Or the +.000000000000001 one?
They seem to be scalable, but never absolute.
There are few, if any absolutes.
Just one. Plato, "Parmenides"...
"If one is not, then nothing is."
In our tech-centric scientific progress mythology/ eschatology, the one is the "Universe"... although it's been getting bigger recently (multiverse).
It's the old One vs. Many problem... applied to the "words" of language.
So what should we call (create a word for) a collection of Universes? Isn't the word "Multiverse" a paradoxical absolute? So what do we call a Universe (uni-verse/ one-word) for our universe now? It's like the Infinity +1 problem.
Draw a circle around it and call it a... ?
;p
Whatever.
That is not bout infinity.
Yawn.
//It's like the Infinity +1 problem
And to who that is a problem?
//-FJ the Dangerous and Extreme MAGA Jew
I don't know
Because... you don't want to know. Do not want to look into Reality open face.

It's like... I dunno, is there such an anecdote, in USA -- about cowboy cought by indians asking "is it yet? that they try to cut my scalp???"
So how effective is Russia's Golden Dome?
How many simultaneous ICBMs does it take to saturate it?
ps - Love the Chinese DDG-51 target. I was part of the team that delivered the first MK-41VLS system modules to DDG-51, CG-47, and DD-963/991 after development trials on the USS Norton Sound.
//So how effective is Russia's Golden Dome?
Yeah.
Mistyping by Freid
A "Freudian slip," also known as a parapraxis, is a verbal or memory mistake that is thought to reveal unconscious thoughts or desires. It's a common phenomenon where someone says or does something different from what they intended, often revealing a hidden feeling or intention. These slips are often described as "slips of the tongue
You obviously wanted to write Chinese Iron Dome ;-p
I suppose that that depends upon the present resources available to your infinity set... the present state of assembly at scale of those resources.
...+1, +1, +1, -1, +1, -1...
Kronos and Kairos
Nope. Neither Russia NOR China are America's "enemies". besides, I really like Chinese food. Russian? Not so much.
Ha-ha-ha.)))))
Like that is about YOUR attitude toward em, that magically can make em your friends.
I'll say to you a simple and obvious Truth -- THEY see you as an enemy. And that is all what counts.
Think about it that way -- are some street thug your enemy? Seems like not. Until... he'd point a gun at you and ask for your wallet.
Yawn.
Well. Ukrainians have thought that Russians even better than friends -- brothers. Yawn.
And up till nowadays, liliPut pounding at that... that his genocidal war... out of familiar love.
Which should be enough to understand -- if that is result of "brotherly love", what they'll do with STRANGERS.
Well, people of Europe -- know. That's why theycame in whole bunch to Washington today.
Like here.
Brotherly love means respecting the "others" differences and acknowledging that they are not "Same", but also NOT trying to convert them into "Same" or impose you "Sameness" forcefully upon them.
What did Ukraine do in the Donbass/Luhansk? They tried to ban Russian language and culture and impose West-Ukrainian culture. That wasn't very "brotherly lovely" of them, was it? Maidan was the same... impose Western (Susan Rice) choice and kick out the compromise/ elected candidate.
Not too many "Good Samaritans" left anymore. :(
The stranger IS the "Other" who should be treated with brotherly love. The family in the "Same" is to whom you bring the sword... ;)
Mathew 10:34
"Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth; I have not come to bring peace, but a sword."
The sword is then used upon others who seek to change you from the outside (also from within), so that you can maintain your distinctiveness/ "difference" from the other.
Of course, you must "wrestle with G_d" in deciding when to apply the sword.... hence the name "Israel".
Google AI:
The name "Israel" literally translates to "struggles with God" or "God strives". This meaning originates from the biblical story of Jacob wrestling with an angel (or God) all night. The encounter, which results in Jacob receiving the name Israel, symbolizes a deep spiritual journey and the struggle for blessing and identity. It signifies that spiritual growth often comes through persistent struggle and surrender to God.
wrestle with angels... opposing virtues...
Courage:Temperance::Wisdom:Justice
The "cardinal" virtues.
ps - Ef "Faith, Hope, and Charity"!
That's just tit-4-tat gaming strategy justification.
