If you consider nature is a computer, it seems our real problem is that human culture runs on some seriously outdated software and programming.

For instance, as mobile organisms, our biological sentience coalesces as a sequence of perceptions, in order to navigate, so our experience of time is as the present moving past to future. Physics codifies it as measures of duration.

The reality is that change turns future to past. Tomorrow becomes yesterday, because the earth turns. Duration is the present, as the events rise and fall. There is no literal dimension of time, because the past is consumed by the present, to inform and drive it. Causality and conservation of energy. Cause becomes effect. Making time an effect of activity, like temperature, pressure, color and sound. Time is frequency, events are amplitude. Energy is conserved, because it is present, going past to future, while the patterns generated go future to past. Energy drives the wave, the fluctuations rise and fall. Consciousness also goes past to future, while thoughts go future to past.

Money functions as a social contract and accounting device, to enable mass societies, but we treat it as a commodity to mine from society. A medium is not a store. Blood is a medium, fat is a store. The feedback loop of treating the medium as message is reaching a high pitched shriek.

Logically a spiritual absolute would be the essence of sentience, from which we rise, not an ideal of wisdom and judgement, from which we fell. Ideals are not absolutes and treating them as such tends to empower the close minded and confuse the open minded.

A related issue is that culture treats good and bad as some cosmic conflict between the forces of righteousness and evil, but in nature, they are the basic biological binary of beneficial and detrimental. The 1/0 of sentience. Treating good as an ideal is like looking for the perfect yes. The result is all the higher order complexity, nuance and subjectivity tends to be lost in our various conflicts.

To the extent waves are the most basic form, they tend to either synchronize, which is inherently centripetal, or harmonize, which is effectively centrifugal. So there are nodes and networks, organisms and ecosystems, particles and fields.

As this sentient interface between body and world, our consciousness fluctuates in the middle.

I could go on, as well as tie these points together, but it seems that our current technological virtuosity only compounds the rate of consumption and magnify the conflicts, rather than really enlighten society. Is there a way to solve that?
