The anthropic principle has nothing to do with a time period called anthropocene, apart from the fact that anthro means human. Hence, anthropology refers to a scientific study of humanity (ie, us). The anthropic principle is about the limits of our senses (eg, feeling, hearing, seeing, smelling, tasting). Everything else might be an unknown unknown. This explains...
My blogs often use analogies in order to make abstract and/or difficult topics understandable. Examples: ants vs humans (eg, societies), balance & symmetry (eg, beauty), boredom vs curiosity (eg, inspiration), brain vs Universe (eg, similarities). Recently, I had a weird thought: can black holes in the Universe be compared to the human definition of Life (eg,...
Recently, I asked a friend about his tips for my thought provoking topics. He said: "How about AI and Faith". That put me on my wrong foot because Faith is - in my view - a human belief in a divine love a.k.a. agape. In his view, Faith is about (unlimited) trust.

De oerknal theorie was een sarcastische grap van astronoom Fred Hoyle (1915-2001) in 1950 (o.a. SA-2020,...
In 2017, writer Martha Wells (b.1964) introduced the The Murderbot diaries. Its 1st story is now available on Apple TV+ as the series Murderbot. Its ingredients make it a great mix to binge-watch: (i) the robot hacks its security module, and thus (ii) creates its free will. An excellent idea: robotic free will ! Obviously, the series also includes Isaac Asimov's...
