Seraphin's Millennial View of Life, the Universe, and Everything

The topics of stem cells, embryos, and medical things of that nature did not come up but there's tremendous interest in that which they consider may be another form of life in the Multiverse.  I don't consider the previous article about embryos as a Silas Directive insofar as there wasn't any comment regarding anything people might or should do about it because the article is only an observation.

Seraphin was excited in reporting of patterns detected within the Multiverse go beyond the actions of individuals and may indicate a new sentience.  This thinking can lead to quaking and quivering in contemplation of Colossus, the computer which took over the world but the difference is Colossus was created in the sci fi movies with specific intent whereas the Multiverse arose spontaneously as more and more kit was attached to the Internet.

There was great passion and excitement in talking of the possibility of a sentient Multiverse but really would that be such a terrible thing.  The current rage in engagement between humans and machines is via Alexa and devices of this type but they only do tricks for you insofar as they will play whatever music you request or perform various mechanistic tasks but there's no intuition to that.

Seraphin through his excitement seems to be telling me what if there were real intuition behind it.

Zen Yogi:  it still just comes from a machine

You won't trip him that easily, Yogi.  Sure it's a machine but it learned.  The Multiverse you see is probably not the same as his since Boomers may cower from the idea whereas Millennials are fascinated by it.

Zen Yogi:  Boomers gave them the Internet and the Multiverse!

Yes, we did, Yogi, but now it's time to kick back to see what they will do with it.


In talking of larger than life patterns, Seraphin also touched on those we see on an astronomical scale which imply influences from outside this Universe.  He's quite happy with the idea there may be many Universes.  He's not so enthused by my thinking of the Firestarter which lit the Big Bang to make it all happen.  For me, the Firestarter gives me a rational balance for my own view of Life, the Universe, and Everything but Seraphin asks more since what of a Universe which continually expands and contracts back to a Singularity to go Boom all over again.

The man's mind is live and it's just blasting with passion and excitement in multiple directions.  That may sound like a Catherine wheel, a firework which spins and shoots sparks everywhere, but there is clear focus to these directions rather than a simple desire to make sparks anywhere possible.


Zen Yogi:  the saga has become The Revelation of the Millennials

It has been exactly that to me, Yogi, and you ain't seen nothin' yet since Seraphin will do a whole lot more of that revelation than I possibly could and he's already started.

"It's a new dawn" - Grace Slick when Jefferson Airplane started their morning set at Woodstock.

That was then, Grace, and Seraphin brings another.  Whether there is more pressure on he and the Millennials cadre than there was on Boomers back then will probably only amount to useless editorializing since the task is hard but they know it and Seraphin is clearly excited by it.


We're drowning in morose projections of doom from Mainstream sources where we so often hear the blackmail of you must do this or everything will fall apart but Millennials won't have anything to do with Mainstream.

Zen Yogi:  they don't need the bummer

No-one does, mate.

Zen Yogi:  you have blackmailed in this way!

I don't believe so, Yogi, but I've not been shy of writing articles suggesting you really need to fix this since we can see it's breaking already.  For example, we really must overcome the problem of traffic management since it costs too much, wastes enormous amounts of productive time, and, in an ecological sense, it stinks.  A huge consideration is the fact it's not safe and what more futile end than to be killed in a car crash.

There's nothing but goodness which comes from designing the systems to ameliorate the problem and Seraphin was excited about some aspects of that as well, specifically with solar-powered roadways and he's conversant in the developmental steps needed and are currently taking place to make it real.

He talked scoffingly of some Senator who apparently said we can't use solar power since that will use up all the energy from the Sun.  It's never been fully clear as to who supports such doltish thinking but one thing is clear that Seraphin and his Millennials are not the ones.
