I don’t know why the sky is blue

Explaining the Existence of the Universe
The question of why the universe exists has been answered in a way that is complete, logical, and in agreement with modern physics. No assumptions were necessary, because the premises of the theory are logical tautologies that are objectively true by their nature. The main ingredients are the tautological definition of existence, the tautological totalitarian… Continue reading

Mapping Personalities by Spatiotemporal Awareness
The purpose of this post is to try and understand the origin of personalities, starting from some of the most fundamental characteristics of intelligence. We will then use that understanding to map out a range of personalities in a convenient and memorable way, and make connections with other popular models of personality. Continue reading

A Universe From Logic
Existence seems to be the most obvious observation in the world, but it is also the most difficult fact to explain. Everything around you, everything you see, hear, feel, smell, and taste, even every thought in your mind, is proof that something exists. But how did this physical universe come into existence? The more you Continue reading

Existence Solved
Science progresses by asking questions and attempting to answer them. The deepest questions require the most profound answers and have the greatest potential to improve our understanding of the universe. Perhaps the deepest question of all science is the question of existence: why is there something rather than nothing? A correct understanding of existence at Continue reading

What is Love?
The purpose of this post is to understand love. I’ll discuss several common ideas about love and try to organize them. Most of all, I want to understand what constitutes “true love,” the kind of love that everyone hopes to achieve, and I hope to prove it, rather than simply speculate. Continue reading

Intelligence and Spirits
The goal of this essay is to come to an understanding of intelligence and spirit. In this age of neuroscience, artificial intelligence, and a deep knowledge of physics that far exceeds what was ever known in the past, I wonder if our knowledge is advanced enough at this point to possibly comprehend what these words… Continue reading

The Best Economic System
Economics has to do with the allocation of resources in a society. Plenty of economic theories already exist, and the world has already experimented with many different economic systems. The best economic system however, is the one that best incentivizes morality or progression towards morality. Continue reading

The Equation of Everything
In this and following articles we will describe this mathematically and work out how this foundation of existence leads to the laws of physics that we are more familiar with. This article is necessarily mathematical, but there are a few points that anyone should be able to understand. Continue reading

A Prepared Constitution
During the formation of any society, a government is created to unify them. Two different wills arise: the Will of the People and the Will of the Government. These wills are variable and can disagree with each other and with morality. In this post, we will determine how to best organize the government so that… Continue reading

The Purpose of Government
In this article, we will discuss the true meaning and purpose of government. We will try to avoid making assumptions about what type of government is better than another. Instead, we will start with a firm foundation, grounded in truth, and then the optimal form of government should reveal itself. Continue reading

Causality implies Special Relativity
For many people, this updated view of reality was so strange that it seemed unbelievable and paradoxical. And yet, as I will demonstrate in this post, it comes as a direct result of the fundamental and highly intuitive law of causality. Continue reading

Faith is not Blind Belief
Faith is a very old concept, one that has been misunderstood by both atheists and religious people for centuries. There are countless writings, discourses, and books about faith. But still, to this day, no one seems to understand it. In fact, most people think it means the opposite of what it actually means. Continue reading

Understanding the Word of Wisdom
This post is only relevant to members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It deals with what I have often considered the most confusing commandment that God has given us. I’m referring to the “Word of Wisdom,” which teaches us what substances we should and should not consume. This is the origin… Continue reading

Rather, we will focus on the functional aspect of happiness in human behavior and from there deduce… Continue reading

Strategies of the Fall
In the doctrine of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the Fall of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden is one of the most important pillars of God’s Plan of Salvation. It was the starting point of mortality for the children of God, the moment when sin, pain, and death became Continue reading

The Logic of Morality
In its current state, the morality I have presented is nebulous and difficult to put into practice. It needs a more rigorous foundation, and I will attempt to do that here. Starting with self-evident axioms and clear definitions, we will proceed with logic to demonstrate that objective morality as defined in this theory exists and… Continue reading

A Pattern of Moral Refinement
All of existence seems to be following a pattern of refinement through natural selection that leads to higher and more complex states of existence. These higher states arise when lower entities cooperate in large numbers, in accordance with laws that emerge from their interactions. The rules that the lower entities follow can be thought of… Continue reading

My goal is to put objective morality on a firm foundation. I don’t want to leave any room to doubt its existence. After years of thinking about it, I believe I have finally discovered the foundation I was looking for. In this post, I will take you through the concepts that lead to the existence… Continue reading
