So, this might be considered somewhat pretentious. I pride myself with having a twisted mind. This presentation aims to share some of the twistedness with the help of my cats. Please feel free to comment. Hope that this presentation might inspire a thought or two or at the very least give you an insight of how cool and philosophical devon rex cats really are =)

My PHILOSOPHY ...explained by cats Starring Kurt & Elvis, the philosophical Devon Rexen @kallekavat
ight... This is not going to be your average R deadpan powerpoint presentation. This presentation will attempt to challenge your ideas about reality, perception, faith and logic. Time does not have to be linear, neither do you. Please feel free to use the back button at any time.
Befo re we begin... I consider myself as lucky to live in a world where quantum mechanics, hippies, science, information technology and oddball philosophers are readily available. I also appreciate that subversive thoughts are not considered -Sorry, Alice. There will be no mentioning of Schr旦dinger's dog. illegal (yet).
Put your swimsuit on... ...we're going to dive into the sea of strange assumptions...
1. there is no spoon The spoon might be there, but there is no way to be sure. If you like spoons, knock -Ok with me. As long as there is tuna. yourself out. If not, well there Have you been smoking catnip again? is none, right?!
My goal is to try to get people into a state of generalized agnosticism, not agnosticism about God alone, but agnosticism about everything. -Robert Anton Wilson -Oh hai! I'm Schroedinger's invizibul, white ninjakitteh! I'm so invizibul that I don't even exist...maybe
I think, therefore I am? ..I think not! -I think, therefore I'm hungry, dude!
The being that 'I' seem to refer to as 'I' seems to be convinced of its own existence, therefore 'I' have prejudices regarding my own existence. -Can you have some prejudice about bringing me some food too, plz?
Who is the master who makes the grass green? Observation is not a passive process. Every sensory input is interpreted and manipulated by your brain and sensory organs. Do you think that it is possible to -I'm not sure. But I'll bet separate the external world your garden hose helps. from your interpretation of it?
...so, th ere is no s p oon! -Ah. I get it. There is no spoon, since there is no 'is',right?! Ok. Bring tuna naow,plz!
2. inform ation is life What is the difference between genes and memes...really? -Whoa dude! That's deep
What is life if not simply a matter of prejudice? All we know are prejudices. Perhaps we should choose them wisely. -Edible?!
Consider this: The fundamental building blocks of our reality are not particles or energy, but information.
-Oh Hai! Check out my string theory; It's sneaky! Perhaps god is to be found in white noise, in the decimals of pi, or in quantization errors? Entropy could be god aging?
co mmun ication fa cilitates ev olution Better! Faster! Stronger! -Life wants to live! Information wants to be free! And all your cheese are belong to Kurt!
3. rea lity is no t binary Null-A logic is true! Why not give it a try today! -It's just a matter of perspective, silly. Send my regards to Schr旦dinger's cat, he is/was a cool dude.
Realities are like espresso machines - Everybody's got one! -I'll burst your reality bubblez!
Summary: re is no s p oon 1. The n is life 2. Informatio 3. Th e world is not binary -And there is no 'is', dude. *doublefacepalm*
Everybody has their own Three prejudice regarding reality simple Seek to understand, not to control! rules Just because you have chosen a path does not mean that it is for everyone Show respect! You cannot 鍖y with both feet 鍖rmly on the ground - Dare to let go every now and then!
