THE UNIVERSE DOESN'T SPIN. IT DANCES.

Think again.
The image we've been taught is a simplification. The truth is infinitely more beautiful and dynamic. We're not spinning in circles; we're traveling. We are a vortex, a cosmic spiral dancing through the galaxy at 828,000 km/h. And what is the shape the universe uses to grow and move? The Golden Spiral. The same code that guides the planets on their journey is what designs the galaxies, the shells, and grows in your very DNA. This isn't just astronomy. It's proof that life is movement, progression, and evolution. You're not going around in circles with your problems; you're spiraling toward a new level of consciousness.

Book Review: “The Feeling of Life Itself” | by Dan Saunders | Medium https://share.google/MCvdJCcCXGuYwQN3y

He argues that consciousness is proportional to the degree of integrated information of a system, and thus, humans are more conscious than simpler mammals, which are more conscious than bugs, which are more conscious than single-celled organisms, because each have larger and more integrated brains / nervous systems than the next. Computers are therefore minimally conscious (no matter the programming), argues Koch, since they can be reduced to their individual components, which can easily be decoupled from their neighbors without losing their individual functionality

For something to exist from the point of view of the world, extrinsically, it must be able to influence things and things must be able to influence it. That is what it means to have causal power. When something can’t make a difference to anything in the world or be influenced by anything in the world, it is causally impotent. Whether or not it exists makes no difference to anything.

What's the hardest question to answer?
Who are you?
When did human beings stop questioning world, life, and themselves?
What are the answers?
I'm a woman, lawyer/doctor/dentist/lover of flowers/history/good food. Is this really my essence, or an extremely simplistic answer connected only to the materiality represented by the cube?
And the expansive and eternal part?
What's the difference between consciousness and intelligence?

Who are you?
Excellent day 🌻
