Bonezblog is theory. Theory is fiction. Theory is fiction because what it assumes can’t be disproved.
If what theory assumes could be disproved it could become fact. What theory states may be true but “may be true” doesn’t mean “is true.”
Bonezblog is out to create a plausible theory of reality. Theory isn’t fixed fact because its inherent nature is assumed to be flawed, incomplete and changeable. Not knowing makes theory possible.
When the quest for the ubiquitous golden ring of perfection, permanence and wholeness is in play, the merry-go-round attempt to repeatedly grab hold of it can result in cold comfort. A stop gap measure might be to ask, “What if the truth is that everything was out the door before having arrived?”
If things can only become what they already are a cup that’s just fallen off the table is broken before it shatters on the floor. That’s a more radical notion than holding the true nature of reality is that nothing lasts because it attempts to explain why.
If God created lossless emptiness out-of-nothing followed by emptiness contracting down into energy that then gets squeezed down into matter, that alone might put the kibosh on the frantic search for something of lasting value in a world of continuous change built on what gets lost in the compression process.
“If not here then maybe there,” is the voice hot on the trail of golden ring to proudly wear. After all, there’s got to be a way out of this mess. There always is.
Never mind that falling hour glass grains of sand are counting off each step of the quest. Could the reason why nothing lasts be caused by the loss incurred when emptiness contracted to make room for a material universe?
This is the existential predicament. We’re stuck in a moving moment predicated on the continual loss of what just was. Where there’s no going back to what just happened or shot forward to what might be.
Time is running out. A way out might be found. But where?
If what is is becoming what is already is, and what is is as good as isn’t already, “elsewhere” might be just the out-of-predicament card if the predicament is what actually is. (This is a long-winded way of saying theory is suggesting a possible way to beat death at its own game.)
Because if elsewhere begins where here and there leave off, elsewhere could be just the safe house where death can’t win. To make this possible the end would need to start before the beginning because when its all over before the beginning begins, when the end arrives what’s there to loose?
The point being death wins if something can be taken away. When death arrives all that’s found is emptiness. Sorry, no score.
When there’s nothing to loose, death is at a loss. That’s why looking for a way out can’t be found here or there. If elsewhere is where the end comes before the beginning, the game is over before it started.
Who says death gets to call the shots when to be human includes the ability to think theoretically? What if it was possible could stick it to death before it arrives? Starting with taking a pass getting on a merry-go-round trying to grab hold of what’s doomed already?
If the pitched battle with an irrevocable end is realized to be flawed, theory has worked some good magic. By surfacing the reasons why uncovered in a certain set of assumptions called into question to imagine what might be if stood on their head, new possibilities arise.
If so, the way out isn’t to pick a fight with what is. Rather evoke a reversal of fortune.
