RE: Blockchain Is Fiction And That's A Fact!...Or Is It The Other Way Around? 🤔
I tried to read this the other night, just before bed, but couldn't absorb a jot of it. I put it down to being too tired, but even my awake brain isn't absorbing as much as I hoped! 😅 Or maybe it doesn't really want to accept that everything we do and create is really just fiction.
LOL, thanks for your straightup honesty, I guess the presentation is a bit of a left-brain-scrambler :)
Perhaps I can try and come at it from another angle, still at a bit of a tangent though! But this is kinda how I was trying to present 'Fiction', or Baconesque Fiction ;-P
I guess that's the nature of the ineffable, the esoteric - that it lies beyond first-level perception, therefore is hidden. Fiction can draw this out, flesh it out a bit, where imagination and creativity can penetrate the barrier that left-brain (or ego-mind or whatever fictitious? entity represents the inner 'gate-keeper' to what is and is not real and permissible) presents with demands for proof, evidence, but doesn't allow direct experiential investigation of (right-brain, heart stuff). In other words, fiction can transcend the left-brain (where 'fact' = what is real and demonstrable only) restrictions and potentially describe a more vibrant (magically Real/Truthful even) version of reality. For me, I'm kinda unsure of a 'fact' other than what I am able to verify by direct experience. And even then, this changes. Out there, the appearance of the 'solid' table is utterly misleading, coz it is also full of particles jumping around in near empty space. Logic doesn't like contradiction, yet in a multi-dimensional setup, paradoxes may be resolvable in a dimension different to the one in which it is perceived as paradox. Fiction can reach for these dimensions of perception, knowledge and understanding in a richly dynamic and meaningful manner. And this is very much without relinquishing pre-existing mind-tools of logic and reason!
Dunno if this makes sense after all LOL, however, @frankbacon is the embodiment of the above (as and more than, a character of fiction authoring the book on the blockchain in which he appears), his works of fiction (a reference library of hidden realities, far from fictitious) and his personality very much the inspiration for the post and the rather nutty view of fiction presented above, and rehashed here :)
After reading through it twice and looking up the meanings of the words ineffable and esoteric, I got there! This is an area I've only recently had some contact with, so getting my head around it has been slow. It also leads to the question, how thin is the line between fiction and reality?
