Mathematical Infinity and Human Destiny There are two approaches to mathematical infinity. It can be seen as defining limiting cases that can never be realized or as existing in some philosophical sense. These mathematical approaches parallel approaches to meaning and value that I call absolutist and evolutionary. The absolutist sees ultimate meaning as something that exists most commonly in the form of an all powerful infinite God. The evolutionary sees life and all of a creation as an ever expanding journey with no ultimate or final goal. There is only the journey. There is no destination. This video argues for an evolutionary view in our sense of meaning and values and in our mathematical understanding. There is a deep connection between the two with profound implications for the evolution of consciousness and human destiny. (This video has a low frame rate to meet the 100MB limit of YouTube.

The Erotic Universe This video poem speculates about the erotic creative force of the universe that has given birth to us. It touches on one of the central themes of the book, _What is and what will be: Integrating spirituality and science_. It was created for the "What is Erotic?" cabaret at the 418 Project. Special thanks to the directors. Tags: evolution consciousness mathematics spirituality |
