I respect this guy a lot especially since he knows how much politics, religion and culture distort our vision and take us away from the truth.
We would be much better of as a species and so much further progressed without the 3 controlling and limiting us all the time on this earth as we are told from birth we need to belong and identify ourselves through them.
I also respect the fact that he sees how much we don’t know and our limitations. But he is missing the spiritual aspect of it all and as a scientist he will probably always fight the existence of the spiritual aspects of our being.
I think he would be much further ahead if he explored the spiritual aspects in addition to the scientific and somehow kept them siloed in his mind however his scientific mind ATM cannot function in both and he quite openly denounces the existence GOD. But why does god need to be as what majority believe as defined through the many religions.
Now imagine this...we are all just energy, this body is vessel for our energy aka spirit and after we die the energy goes back into the higher dimensions where in our 4th time dimension it lives forever because energy cannot be destroyed it can however transform. What if in the infinite universe we are everything we could or could not possibly be based on varying our own choices and the choices of others. Now what if our energy exists simultaneously in all those infinite universe due to the higher dimensions and can be accessible. How? What would alter our choices in any particularly life time. What affects our emotions, or feelings, how does this affect actions taken by the spirit/energy through the vessel it’s currently in like in the human form . I don’t have the answers however I think tapping into the metaphysics and spiritual aspects based on our experiences factoring out the influence of religion, culture and politics will lead us to the truth once we are ready to connect it all including science.
I think we live in a beautiful time ATM and are so close to have these answers especially with the emergence of Artificial Intelligence that will hopefully give us some answers and hopefully someone brings sense to all this. It is quite fascinating and we need people like him who are quite disciplined and stay focused in an effort to further our understanding of the universe and our existence, but we also can’t ignore our being our energy and what it all means and how we tie into the big picture. People like Jim Carrey believe hope is beggar and says why not take a chance on faith. Not religion, not hope, but faith. He says you will only ever have 2 choices in life, love or fear. Choose love and don’t ever let fear turn you against your playful heart. I personally believe that the absolute truth lies somewhere within science and the spiritual. Carl Sagan chose love, and drove Neil when he was 17 on that snowy day to the bus stop and now look where he is at and how many people he influences. It’s all connected, we are all connected, you reading this ATM are connected.
