Materialists see information as deriving (resulting) from a spatial - temporal - state distribution of matter or energy. Informational people see information as giving rise (causing) to matter and energy. I subscribe to the Mathematical Universe Hypothesis more or less and am sympathetic to Cyclic Conformal Cosmology. Thus cause and effect are reversed.

I always was more impressed on why information on the atoms (how interact between themselves) is not as researched as the matter itself, is truly fascinating.

We think we have it so hard with our 9-5 jobs and 2 weeks vacation.

Meanwhile, atoms have been working without as much as a fucking smoke break for literally billions of years! >_<
