Steering the Future of Consciousness? by Wilhelmus de Wilde

Dear Wilhelmus,

I am very close in spirit to your ideas. We go in one direction, but a little different our views. But closer to the position necessary to make a good "brainstorming." Consciousness need growth and turnaround. Here the main task - to change the education system. All of us Earthlings, we need Great Dream and Great Common Cause to save Peace, Nature and Humanity. Great Dream always go alond with Freedom without fear, Hope, Love, Justice. It's time. New Era and "Generation SkyPe" says: We start the path.

Best regards,

Vladimir

Hello Wilhelmus,

I enjoyed your essay very much but am myself on the fence when it comes to the role of consciousness in the universe. I am suspicious of us projecting our own unique subjectivity onto the whole of existence. Though, I do think it can be said that a universe without some form of life within it to provide "feedback" can in someway be said to not exist at all.

The question of why there is something rather than nothing I find a fascinating one as I do the question of whether we exist in the best of all possible worlds.

I'd be interested in your thoughts on a post I recently wrote on that subject:
