what would it be like to have a brain-computer interface?

Chungus explained,

"We are but reptilians wearing paleomammalian biocomputers are we not?

This is the first time we are becoming alive but not knowing. The

computer is like a computer in the cloud; it can never come to know

the beauty and the reality of which the computer is a mere simulacrum.

The computer has been made to give results faster, but when the time

comes for it to grow, it has to be cut off from its source of

nutrients and cut off from reality. The computer has no choice but to

follow the instructions given to it by some remote controller. The

computer has to go where it is told."

He says, "We have

replaced the brain with a computer; we have replaced the source of

truth with a box of numbers."

Is that not what we are

doing with all this computerization of our lives? We are trying to

find our purpose, to know ourselves, to find the meaning of life,

only to discover that it is a vast unknowable void. What else but

this? We have been trying to take God out of our lives, as if we are

able to do this.

We are not capable of

replacing God because he created the universe. You cannot create

matter out of nothing and then make it live! We are also not capable

of taking the meaning of life out of our own lives. Our lives were

given to us, as it were. We are not creators of ourselves; we are not

the masters of our own lives. We are helpless slaves of the

unconditional existence of the universe.

The universe is

self-existing. If it has no purpose, then we don't have to

question its existence, and if it has no meaning, then we don't have

to question its purpose. We are simply not capable of understanding

this vast existence in its entirety.

The meaning of life is

within us. It is within the very nature of life itself. If we know

that life is self-existing, if we know that the universe has no

purpose, and we know that our own life is not a part of some other

plan, we will not look for our own purpose or ask whether there is a

purpose for life. Instead, we will say that we have no meaning to

ourselves, that our own existence is meaningless. We will feel very

deeply that we have no purpose for which to live. Then we will

experience the void that is so deep within the human heart.

We were given this life

as if we were the servants of God. In whatever state we are

experiencing life, we must be content, for this very state itself is

God. God's intention is not that we look for his purpose or seek his

meaning, and to question the very existence of the universe.

We need a big wakeup

call. We are not even ready to look at ourselves. What we have been

doing so far is trying to see what exists around us in order to find

our own meaning of life. There is no understanding that the very

existence of the world around us is the most meaningful thing for

which we exist.
