Creating order beyond meta level zero
Manage episode 447419413 series 2815874
In this episode of the podcast, Dr. Ray presents another ramble where he discusses creating order at deeper meta levels. In the Bottom Turtle language, meta level zero is the space of the obvious. This is the space where we draw our axiomatic truths to build a model of reality that everyone can verify. The resulting model is the language of the podcast. At meta level zero, obvious truths like throwing a wine bottle glass on the ground as hard as you can will cause it to shatter cannot be denied. To deny such a truth is to completely reject the concept of truth all together. In contrast meta level one is distinguished from meta level zero by an increase in entropy/uncertainty. That is, consider meta level one as the space of social interactions. This is the first level in the conceptual space beyond the obvious mental constructions provided by our sensory faculties. At meta level one/the social level, it's far more difficult to construct consensus. It's impossible to know your own motivation for an action with certainty let alone the motivations of others. Because of this increase in entropy/uncertainty/ignorance, it is much easier to hide untruths and deceit behind fake intentions. It's also easier to deceive oneself about their own intentions and biases. At meta level one, if you don't want to see the truth, you don't have to. Instead, you can just lie to yourself and cling to your bias.
So join Dr. Ray as he explains how to create order in meta level one and beyond. He argues that this is the job of a theoretical physicist. It is to take obvious truths/observation from meta level zero and construct conceptual objects that are symmetric to the physical system thus creating a literal conceptualization of reality. He also applies this lens of to meta level one to critique wokeness and its use of spiritual violence to control people's free will through repetitional destruction and claims of harm.
