R2O is an attempt to solve the world's problems with insights from a new scientific paradigm that suggests life has cosmic significance and a transcendent purpose. Your support funds that initiative.
It seems like Bobby is the only person in media with ideas or a message about how humanity can safely move through this scary phase. Most never offer solutions, only commentary on how bad things will get. Please keep the posts coming Bobby and thank you for your work.
Bobby, I wish you all the best for this endeavor. More and more scientists are persuaded that creative evolution plays a key role in physics.
Fundamental reality may well be a timeless eternity. But even if so, timeless eternity can only be the unattainable top of a tower of reality with infinitely many floors. The view from any floor is tensed, changing, and evolving toward good outcomes selected by creative evolution.
I can't wait to read Hertog's book. We likely won't know if the book really reflects the last thoughts of Hawking, but Hawking had been shifting in this direction for a while (e.g. when he argued that there must be a physical equivalent of Gödel's theorem, and therefore physics will always be open).
"A new scientific paradigm that suggests life has cosmic significance and a transcendent purpose" would do real good to the world.
The pandemic felt like an abrupt end to a daydream where we realized how vulnerable each of us are to the system. We benefit greatly from it but lose our independence and self-sufficiency along the way. I’m glad to see there is a lot to hope for in the future with more focus on self-resiliency.
Interesting ideas here that I'm excited to read and think about more as you write/release them. I am skeptical, however, that knowing the universe/life operates through a Darwinian process of correcting errors and adapting will make "the future... much more predictable than we previously thought. The trajectory of our civilization would also be much more predictable than we thought..." Things like chaos theory, frozen accidents, the butterfly effect, first mover's advantage and the network effect all make prediction essentially impossible. Would you care to elaborate on how/why you think future/trajectory predictions should be more within reach?

Heard recently that today is much harder to be optimistic rather than pessimistic without sounding naive.
You challenge that through science which is remarkable.

I want to be able to somehow contribute to this movement through Omega. How can I get involved?
