State of mind: My website was a gem, and suddenly I discover it's a mess. The past 7 hours or so I tried to figur out what's the matter. I didn't succeed. Meanwhile I'm a bit drunk - shit. To give the night - it's very dark outside - anyhow some kind of constructive turn, I propose the text below I have been preparing for quite a while. I hope I click all the buttons right. This is how it go's:
TaTaTaTaa, a different TOE !!!
Is the TOE as it is generally understood, the real TOE ?
Within the naturalistic (or materialistic) worldview the Theory of Everything is considered to give a mathematical description of the universe, integrating it's fundamental forces - gravity, electromagnetical force and the strong and weak nucleair forces - to subsequently explain everything within this universe, including for instance the human brain and consciousness and it's expression in various cultures and worldviews.
Also within this worldview it is assumed that initially the fundamental laws and constants, energy and elementary particles/waves, have come to be all by themselves, while their essentially aimless and meaningless interaction in a process of roughly 14 billions of years has lead to the complex universe we humans now inhabit.
So within the naturalistic worldview the TOE will be an essential mathematical equation, that was there with the Big Bang, all by it self, and that was able to, all by itself, make itself work within the huge outburst of energy of the Big Bang, that also is thought of as occurring by itself, so that this present universe could rise out of it. In other words: from the very beginning the universe was able to organise itself according to this TOE in such a way that the present universe could be it's result. So this universe came to be all by itself, as a cooperation of energy and information, and that developed itself into it's present state.
This is the modern worldview, dominant in circles of scientists and philosophers, intellectuals and others: reality reduced to ordered motion, and totally alien to the human experience.
To me this naturalistic worldview is as irrational as for instance the myth in which the universe is born out of an egg and rests on the back of a turtle. Why? Because as a participant of culture my mind is constantly bombarded with the notion that things - buildings, bridges, machines, works of art, etcetera - are not by themselves, but are the result of invention, effort and expression. They are the result of creativity, our human creativity.
Furthermore, being a participant of nature I see that we humans represent not the only species that is creative. On the contrary. Though in a more rudimentary form, creativity seems to be embedded in a wide range of animals: dolphins, chimpansees, termites, whales, bees, bevers, elephants, spiders, birds, etcetera.
So creativity is a wide spread phenomenon in organic nature. And because organic nature is deeply rooted in anorganic nature, it very well can be assumed that creativity is something very essential in this universe in general. Whereby we can tell a more plausible story about it's origin. That there's creativity involved, fundamental creativity, that has invented mathematics, laws and constants, quarks, atoms, etcetera. And that has made all this to evolve in ever more splendid manifestations of creation, with the present universe as it's provisional result.
Thus seen creativity seems to be at the bottom of all things. With of course next to it an idea out of which it can derive all the information it needs to express this universe. An idea that is the central theme out of which in variation this universe is expressed - like for instance the TaTaTaTaa that starts of Beethovens Fifth. And of course an idea that is understood by the Greeks as the logos in all things, the Word, Reason or Law, in modern terms: the central order, the pattern that connects, the meme of memes. It is this idea that makes me speak of a different TOE, an idea that overcomes contemporary irrationality, and that represents the real Theory of Everything.
