Despite our best efforts the most we can ever be is a statistical blip in the eons of time. The most power we can ever have is the ability to influence to some extent the places and people around whom the blip occurs. The most significant blips we ever know about are the beats of our hearts and the only hope we can ever really have is that someone is listening.
Hello my name is Gavin and welcome to my blog. The purpose of this website and blog is to voice some of the rather considerable volume of ideas on the nature of the universe and the role of consciousness that have ‘grown’ in me throughout my life thus far. I can trace these ideas back to childhood, but especially my young adult period from September 1995 until 2000 when I had my initial insights into the evolutionary importance of the world-wide telecommunications network and the internet. Throughout the time since then these ideas have grown, regardless of my reservations about their validity, into something I can warily consider a possible scientific hypothesis. The reason that I have begun to consider this possibility is because in the intervening time I have kept coming up with various new ideas that lead to the same conclusions relating to the role of consciousness in the universe.
My hypothesis, in a nutshell is, is consciousness a ‘side-effect’ of the operation of the universe or could it be in fact central to it? Could there be a system that regulates the universe? This website and blog is intended to form a platform for me to explore and refine, with the input of others, what has developed in me over many years.
To my possible detriment I have been extremely reluctant to publish what has grown in me principally because of the anticipated ‘blow back’ I will and have received when discussing it with people and because of my own self-scepticism and doubt as to its scientific validity. Additionally I have sought out rather little outside thought by others in the field primarily because I wanted to explore what has grown in me without trying to conform to the thinking of the outside world.
The reality is that I am probably late on the scene, but I can at least claim original thought from my perspective. Thinking differently to the conventions and general consensus of the everyday person is, like many situations in life, a double-edged sword: either you are correct and as such some would claim a genius or you are wrong and considered guilty of folly at best and madness at worst.
The ideas discussed in this blog are as such highly speculative and rather odd to people in general. I admit it takes ‘suspending disbelief’ in order to entertain them, but that is what is required to objectively consider a ‘model’ that can seem counter-intuitive. The reality is that I have, without specifically intending to, developed my own speculative worldview or paradigm that reflects my temperament and as such can lay claim to making my own contribution to thought. It’s better in my opinion to have come up with something by yourself and have it proven wrong than to be someone who just goes around trying to destroy and discredit the work of others without coming up with a single individual thought of their own.
In any case I offer this website and blog up for your consideration and perhaps together we can make progress and growth in our own world views. I trust you will enjoy it, but I won’t be worried if you don’t!
