Conscious Permanence Project

Purpose of this blog

This blog is where I will develop the ideas of the four parts of the Conscious Permanence Project.

The main website consciouspermanence.com presents the framework that is the intersection of neuroscience and complex systems theory if spacetime operates as physicists claim. This foundation points toward deeper implications that require development, and that development will be done here. For example, as I go through the works of philosopher Alicia Juarrero, I will blog about the ideas and its connections to the framework.

The Four Parts of Conscious Permanence

Part 1: The Foundation. The scientific synthesis showing how conscious experience achieves permanence. Specifying the connection between neuroscience, spacetime physics, and complex systems theory to show the implications that follow.

Part 2: Personal Implications. How the possibility of permanent experience changes the decisions we make about our own lives. With experiences existing eternally in spacetime, it may be that quality matters more than quantity. This connects to ancient wisdom about living well, and I'll explore Aristotle's eudaimonia, Stoic philosophy, and other approaches to human flourishing.

Part 3: Social Implications. If everyone's experience is permanent in spacetime, then everyone exists equally in the universe. This equality makes individualism a fact of nature rather than political preference. Each person creates irreplaceable permanent experience that deserves protection and respect.

Part 4: For a Better Future. Recognizing individualism as a natural fact matters for humanity's future and preventing atrocities from recurring. How we structure societies and treat one another with the understanding that permanent conscious experience is the essence of human existence.

What to Expect Here

This blog is my workshop. You'll see:

Here is the place for helping shape the future of Conscious Permanence. The work before me will take years. That's fine. These questions are difficult and the implications are too important to rush. Let's see where this goes.
