For some weeks, a question has been bugging me: do the brain and the Universe (also) compare with respect to sleep? The (surprising) answer is - actually - a Yes because both the brain and the Universe do not sleep. Only our body sleeps while our mind - and soul - do not sleep (eg, dreaming). Nevertheless, the notion of a sleeping universal body is not weird at all...
Singularity
The evolution of consciousness
A recent Debrief article (below) on consciousness, did not come as a surprise to me. This topic is finally heading in the right direction: probably everything is conscious. Hence, life, nature, and the universe. Perhaps, even Energy & Matter are conscious. This 2024 quote may explain my reasoning: Brains Are Not Required When It Comes to Thinking and Solving...
The complexity bias (15)
In March 2018, I wrote about the simplicity bias, part-1 to part-5. It took me some months before I realised everything is getting more complex (eg, in life, nature, universe). In September 2018, I started writing on the complexity bias (1). Many episodes followed (eg, part-14 in 2024). Today, starts part-15. Early April 2025, Quanta published this article: Why...
The complexity bias (13): singularity as the ultimate goal?
In my view, the mind of multicellular organisms is the most complex part of any lifeform. The body is mostly a standardization tool (eg, arms, drinking, eating, head, legs) to protect and support the mind. In my view, the soul is the linking pin between individual and universal consciousness. Might the complexity bias of the mind be heading towards being part of...

Consciousness vs Body, Mind & Soul
In yesterday's blog, Dreams, I wrote the following: "In my view, the soul is the linking pin between individual and universal consciousness." That sentence bugged me for some reason, and has resulted in this new blog and new diagram. I suppose that the above classification is new to me. After some reflection, it (still) feels valid. This classification also allows...
Force versus Matter
When you look at the Universe then you will notice (at least) two things: (centrifugal) force (eg, orbits) and matter (eg, moons, planets, suns). Where does that (centrifugal) force come from?? In case of humans, the answer would - probably - be Life. I suppose author Duane Elgin (b.1943) has a similar view and answer and/or solution, given this quote from his...
