The universe began with a single spark that suddenly exploded into complexity. It's been growing more complex ever since. The question I have - why? And how?

Mostly nothing. The space between spinning, mysterious sub-atomic particles. We are starting to understand these particles, but the questions about the emptiness just grow. Maybe the universe is made of questions.

Creativity driven by love, generosity and kindness!

Creative energy driven by fear, greed, selfishness, and myopic, short-term thinking.

Yes. The lack of free will implies destiny. Destiny implies intelligent design. Intelligent design implies a god playing with action figures. Some sort of god may have created us, and even watching us, but I don't think he's a puppet master.

The human mind can be forged into peace and harmony with practice, but it is inclined to chaos without conscious, determined effort. The mind is a wandering, unruly puppy, that must be gently and compassionately trained.

Traveling through life with intention but without expectation. Balancing my ambition for the future and my musings on the past with living in the present moment.

For us, as a collective consciousness, to mature, one life at a time. But what does it mean to mature? To have fewer people living in poverty and ignorance, working menial, uncreative, brainless jobs. That's what the robots are for.

Apocalypse or Singularity, whichever comes first. I'm rooting for Singularity with a really great user experience.

What was before our universe?
