OK ... wow. Not what I was expecting. But, beautiful, and profound, and deeply, deeply important. Thank you. I needed this and will be revisiting this piece again and again over the coming days. You've planted a seed.
Thank you for this gutsy dive that dares to wander on the edges of our “sciences.” At the risk of tainting your usual social/political discourse, to me this dovetails smoothly with Sufism articulated to the West by Hazrat Inayat Khan (IE: Love, Harmony, and Beauty as defining principles shaping the universe) and many of the essential practical tenants of Non-Duality (especially regarding Consciousness) as shared by Francis Lucille and Rupert Spira. In a pragmatic sense, we can’t alter the failing system without a radical shift in the paradigm in our relationships to one another, and the world as a whole. Unless/until we let go of the false notion we are separate (as opposed to the reality we are interconnected within a vast system) attempts to preserve a failing system are doomed to repeat.
“At the quantum level, particles exist in states of superposition—all possibilities simultaneously present—until observation collapses them into definite positions.”
I second the Wow. Brilliant, profound, vitally important for the human race to grasp - Will we? How will we? I so hope we will. What a moment to be alive
I’m just catching up on reading and find myself in tears. Tears of appreciation for the writing, yes, but mostly tears of relief knowing that I am not alone. I see and understand these ideas so clearly, in fact I KNOW them to be the Truth. At the same time, I’ve had a hard time finding others in my life who “get it”.
Knowing you all are out there is beyond reassuring and I sincerely appreciate all of you…Mike for his vision and clarity in expressing these ideas, commenters for furthering the discussion with your thoughtful insights, and quiet readers readers for holding the energy of this space. Your being here matters. Thank you
This piece feels warm and right, set at the perfect philosophical temperature. It’s like reading a condensed synthesis of David Hume, Brian Greene, Thomas Herzog, Stephen Hawking, David Krakauer, and Jim Harrison. With a hint of Jack Kerouac - “It’s all too much and not enough at the same time.”

Very sexy sentence….
