Stories like the bible, other fantasy books, scifi, etc.
You give meaning to things and speculate were there is none .
And about your snail thing: 'However, it proved to be as unreliable then as it had originally been.'
But you know I think we are so far away from our core beliefs that further discussion will not change any of our minds.have a nice day.
My family do not share more than a few holiday pictures.
No one really shared normal likeable lifevents.
WhatsApp groups are totally fine and even showed me how little I care about constant updates from other life's.
And no people also don't care what I do.
People are busy. Family people think about school issues and handling their daily life and planing a family holiday.i care about science and politics. My mother cares about the next hiking tour.
Google+ circle feature was already the technology highpoint of handling social media and no one really had the motivation to setup their circles or even use Google+.
Even sharing specific things is hard. Over or under sharing: I would have loved to see much more of a friend's house building for example.
While it feels like digital is the future, the people around you are. That's something Facebook and co teached me. It's a bad substitute.
But your simple 'explanaition' of quantum tunneling effects sounds fancy but creates so many more issues that it is as insane as it sounds.
Oh our brain is able to quantum tunnel to people who need help and ignores all other billions of people.
It's not good enough that we can proof it over pure randomness which makes it 100% useless even if this would be a thing but there are probably a 1000 other reasons why we can't use it anymore right?
I'm not sure what you mean 'by the voice' but I do know that our brain is not perfect and there are illnesses out there like schizophrenia.
I also experienced basic Halluzinationen myself due to LSD and just last week when I was only hearing English for the last three weeks on holiday that sometimes my mind though it would understand German sentence from people further away.
Science means that you need to proof it. It's easy to invent something without any proof. Look: I saw God, I'm Jesus and you need to be my follower. Your duty to me is your destiny. Send me all your money.
You don't need proof and you can't even determine if I'm not son of god. Better worship me now.
In a pure logical world nihilism would be one potential answer.
'full potential ' would mean something different than in a pure life positive mindset.
I would go so far to say that reaching the stars is secondary as long as others still suffer in their existense.
Spirituality starts for me were your thoughts don't have a logical root.
What's 'full potential'? Why is it relevant. Why would it be better than not being born?
The list of things they list (no joke they also list poltergeist) are easily dismissed.
There has been no real reproducible evidence for any of it.
They even state empirical evidence. Like saying 'hey we can't really proof it but ...'
They mention telepathy which would be easy to verify.
They would even get 1 million dollar if they could proof it.
You should look up James Randi.
Generic concepts, which have been thought of by plenty of others are easier to grasp.
Like I thought about things until my sister gave me the word for it: nihilist.
Understanding nihilim is still different than coming to the conclusion of nihilism.
But plenty of other people draw their lines somewhere else. They don't follow philosophy because it's just not important for them.
Or they made their peace long ago.
Your example with creativity doesn't fit my world of nihilism at all (I wouldn't down vote it).
So we are not aligned at all. And you / we are probably not aligned with lots of others on spiritual concepts.
Im thinking about something similar to creativity: we are now so many people with fast interconnection in between us (internet, video) and the general though of something new that it's just a logical consequences that we need to explore all boundaries around us.
I also have plenty of counter examples which did not gave a reward for being creative from 'the universe's.
Being an artist is not easy.
Your thshirt example is also more realted to capitalism. The original motivation is getting money for food.
Those systems / constructs are not made by the universe they are made by us. Those are our constructs.
We reward creativity due to the desire for new stimula.
This goes more into machine learning or game theory: how to train a network to create an image? By creating a counter network checking if something is not an image.
