--Vass, Arpad A., "Dust to Dust: The Brief, Eventful Afterlife of a Human Corpse," Scientific American, August, 2010
Next to my son's anger plate tectonics are nothing to me. His unhappiness was caused by me. His purpose and mine is to catch photons and store them in our bones. Time measures change which continues without self-doubt. There is no self. Therefore, why care about my son's anger or my guilt? Why do we have imaginary numbers anyway? The imaginary i allows us to find solutions to many equations that do not have real number solutions. It is actually common for equations to be unsolvable in one number system but solvable in another: —with only the counting numbers, we can’t solve x+8=1; we need the integers for this! —with only the integers, we can’t solve 3x-1=0; we need the rational numbers for this! —with only the rational numbers, we can’t solve x2=2; enter the irrational numbers! —and with only the real numbers, we can’t solve x2= -1; we need the imaginary numbers for this! Is it possible as Deutsch suggests that the changes a self-aware organism can applying the scientific method instantiate are innumerable compared to those of the sun or any big bang? Therefore, one must care about the harm you've done or the good you'd do. "Death initiates a complex process by which the human body gradually reverts to dust but minerals may fill the cracks and voids, bonding the hydroxyapatite and allowing the bones to join . . ." in the happy tectonics of the earth's plates.
