Why do I believe in God? (Part 1 of X)
March 20, 2008
Frankly, this question is what made me to start this blog up in the first place. A simple question like this is doomed to no simple answer. On the other hand, it really depends on your understanding of the difference between simplicity and complexity you probably carry from your kindergarten days. I won’t try to shake your world on that one. But, in my humble(st) opinion, simplicity is a main building block of what this world is all about. What more, complexity is but a superset of simplicity and subject to interactions as such. To make it more clear, we constitute nuclei of what we know as a “society”. Therefore we are simple, but the system we form with other humans and interactions we make is what makes it complex. If we apply the same scale to ourselves we open up another level of both physical and mental complexity. Ultimately, we can break it down to protons, electrons and neutrons – the indivisible unique entities we are made of. It is safe to assume that quantity is, in part, responsible for the existence of complexity as a concept. But, isn’t this derivation just another interaction, now at the conceptual level, employing a concept on concepts? How is this even possible? An equivalent in engineering would be using a tool as a building block of a machine rather than using a tool to build a building block of a machine.
I’ll end this post here. It will all fit nicely when I get to Part X.
Stay tuned!
Hello world!

Hello everybody.
As just another human but with mild ADD, I have all the thoughts of this world wander in my head and waiting to be stored somewhere. Instead of hoping to enlighten a wider audience with my mental ramblings, I merely want to get rid of them as they are now using too much space in a functional portion of my brain (~5%). I promise I will stay away from writing about soap operas, politics and show business. My interests are rather philosophical, and by philosophy I mean all other things but those I named previously.
And as a final act of false modesty, I am more than sure you will like what you read. Feel free to post comments even if you can’t stand me.
I think I exist!
