How appropriate these posts would all on Easter Weekend. Or not.
Organized religion has its origin in words. It is likely that a healthy respect for nature came before even human intelligence.
Even AuT gets back to a place and an environment (g-space) which has god-like qualities and it is the most logical, the least accepting of theories. AuT does, after all, eliminate all features of randomness and even dimension in favor of an observed background environment which was obvious to Einstein even though his lack of exposure to the application of information theory hid the true nature of things.
He was forced to accepted space-time (dimension and a connected but separate time dimension) when it is fairly clear that those are not necessary and are contraindicated in an information based universe. Still, it was obvious from relativity. The main difference between /AuT and his analysis had to do with the fixed nature of events from start to finish,the critical last step in AuT which determined that the unvierse was not expressed data, but was instead merely an equation. It almost has to be the case, but this Equation is not the same type that we write down, it has durability in its solution.
Words gave birth to aut and words were necessary to develop it from the primitive concept in EHT through the conceptually complete NLC and finally to the determination of the durable (from our perspective) Equation of g-space.
Words are irrelevant except to us, but to us they are crucial Superstition, religion if you must, is fleeting without words, the more durable the words, the better support it provides for superstition.
Everyone is not stupid, but the religion fanatic and the agnotist, even the non-believer are all stupid. We don't know enough to fathom religion. Unless I abandon AuT (and Imight, just as I abandoned the broader ideas of EHT, space-tmie and hologram theory) the idea that we would understand g-space in its entirety (that post is coming, btw, even though I've given most of the underpinnings and certainly earned by third or 4th nobel prize assuming any of this is new or valid) seems unlikely because like the allegory of the cave, we only experience it indirectly. interesting how the greeks even had the right allegory. Figures, irony.
Words allow the stupidity of superstition to be passed and strengthened. Whenever a weakness appears in AuT or in any of the religions which are still alive (the dead ones have lost their writers) new words can be used to patch the leaks. However, when words fail, the religions go towards violence, the violent reaction to logic in favor of superstition. Fantasy is a big part of this, suspending belief, but also exploring new options in the framework of existence.
This splits superstitions into tiers.
There are the blind believers who are the foot soldiers, the intellectuals who believe because they've built a framework where beleif is possible and the leaders who use the religion/superstition for their own ends whether they believe or not.
These religions allow us to subjurgate others, it allows us to be taken seriously despite dressing in absurdly inappropriate fashions. The priests and Imans in their dresses, the Mormons and Jews in their funny hats, the beautiful but disfunctional buidings, the beautiful words set to music and which make us want to have faith all work together for their purposes.
Like fantasy, faith has its purpose and importance. I have to have faith that AuT is at least a possibility to adopt it for the moment, although the faith is fleeting, but religions require a more certain faith, because once you begin to question the underpinnings of superstition, they fail quickly.
And so the intellectuals must provide additional words or change the words in some cases (when was the original birth of Jesus or his resurrection anyway?). Islam being the most weaponized religion (at least in widespread acceptance) reflects some of the m ost editing and, of course, buids on the religions it seeks to replace. the analogy of the universal equation, to biological to philosophical viruses is not to be lost. You see the durable equation is a replacement of non-durable equations, it had to "evolve" from non-durable equations, just as modern religions and viruses have evolved from less durable versions.
I will return to this subject. Happy Easter
