I gave this talk at the Aetheria Symposia I in Crete. It is a presentation of my book “Irrational mechanics: Narrative sketch of a futurist science & a new religion” and a chapter-by-chapter summary.
Irrational mechanics is street science, street philosophy, street metaphysics, street theology, by the people and for the people. By the people because it is open to maverick thinkers and unaffiliated outsiders, for the people because it wants to give hopeful and empowering answers to the big questions that we all ask.
Irrational mechanics extends old science just like irrational numbers extend rational numbers. I call it irrational also (you guessed) as a fuck-you-very-much to the “rational” bureaucrats of science.
Irrational mechanics explores psi phenomena, consciousness, and free will as integral to reality. It wants to redefine our cosmic purpose and unlock breakthroughs like psychic powers, faster-than-light travel, time travel, and even the resurrection of the dead.
Irrational mechanics blends science, religion, and science fiction, envisioning a mysterious and magic universe where advanced technologies fulfill humanity’s wildest dreams. It fosters a new, science-inspired religion compatible with an infinitely complex reality.
This is my own personal metafysics, or religion. I hope you can use some of my thoughts to build your own metafysiks.
The talk was followed by a Q/A and discussion section.
I made this audio-only recording locally and the therefore the quality of my audio is better than a Zoom recording. The downside is that only my voice is heard. The questions asked at the end are not heard but I hope can be inferred from my replies. I cut a few minutes of dead time when the computer in Crete crashed.
