The Joe Rogan Experience
#2193 - Jack Symes

You're 100% confident that you are conscious right now. So it's not a non-existent thing. So following that reasoning, which has been embraced by public figures such as him more recently, you'd have to say that everything is conscious in this way in order to have the ingredients needed for conscious experience. But leaving aside the how the big mind can break itself up.

There is still a question, this might be a bit of a boring terminological one, so you can tell me to shut up if you don't want to go to dictionary corner, but it's the idea that I spoke about earlier that all theists think that God is the perfect being. If God exists, God has to be perfect. You can't have a unicorn with no horn on its head, like uni-cornu, one horn. A unicorn has to have one horn.

In the same way, a triangle needs three corners, God needs to be perfect. But on this definition, it seems like God isn't perfect. At the beginning of time, if God is the universe, God wasn't perfect then. There was a greater being that God could have been. And even in the fullness of time, perhaps God won't be as perfect as the being which is described by... Christians, Jews, and Muslims.

So what we're seeing is people embracing, I think this is Goff's term as well. I think he's coming out as this, or maybe I'm coming out for him. He's describing himself as a heretical Christian. So to be a Christian, he thinks you don't need to believe in the virgin birth. You don't need to believe in the resurrection.

You don't need to believe that God's perfect, but you can still believe that there's this big cosmic story that you're a part of and that there is something God-like at the essence of it all. I think that's the kind of view that we need to start carving out. Theism's on the decline. Are we just speaking about the numbers?

Yeah. I mean, I think that seems to be that's the general view. I think that it's the zeitgeist of the time. It's the feeling of the age that we think in such a way. But there is still that movement. And this is my view.

I just want to shed light on like an alternative idea, which is go back to Parmenides, the pre-Socratic philosopher who thought that all change and all individuation is an illusion, that we live in this block universe, this big one thing. Have you heard of Zeno's Paradox? You've done this one before? No, no, what's that? Zeno's Paradox is great. So you've got two, like, see these two cups here.
