AUSTRALIAN MYTHOLOGY
At the beginning of this project, AI helped me give form to thoughts that I found difficult to express.
Today, something has changed.
We are building this together as a team: my experience and understanding, combined with AI’s ability to look from a distance and find the words.
This blog is also our fourth LEGO block.
It is not the complete explanation of free will.
It is a signpost pointing towards it.
The First Commandment gave us a direction based on truth, trust and responsibility.
But direction has meaning only when we are free to choose whether to follow it.
This brings us to the doorway of Australian Mythology:
Free will.
Each of us has been given what may be the most extraordinary machine in the known universe: a biological computer capable of thinking, feeling, remembering and choosing.
Humanity is proud of creating the quantum computer.
It is an extraordinary achievement. It uses principles of reality that challenge ordinary human understanding, including quantum entanglement—what Einstein famously described as “spooky action at a distance.”
We have learned how to use some of these laws even though we still debate what they ultimately tell us about the nature of reality.
But perhaps an even greater mystery has always been much closer to us.
It is the biological computer within every human being.
We use it every day, yet we still do not fully understand its memory, emotions, intuition, consciousness or possible connection with the greater reality surrounding us.
And this extraordinary machine has been given something else:
Free will.
But what does free will really mean?
Is it only the right to make a decision?
Or does it also include responsibility for everything our decision creates in the lives of others?
I am not here to tell anyone what to choose.
I only want to examine whether freedom of choice can exist without responsibility for its consequences.
This is only the doorway.
The next LEGO blocks will take us further.
