History Ends in Green: Terence McKenna on Evolution, Emergence and Complexity

by Alex Vikoulov

"Human history is a 25,000-year transition zone. Before you enter the zone, you're an animal. After you leave the zone, you're a 'god'." -Terence McKenna

Terence Kemp McKenna (1946–2000) was an American ethnobotanist, mystic, psychonaut, lecturer, author, and an advocate for the responsible use of naturally occurring psychedelic plants. He spoke and wrote about a variety of subjects, including psychedelic drugs, plant-based entheogens, shamanism, metaphysics, alchemy, language, philosophy, culture, technology, environmentalism, and the theoretical origins of human consciousness.

by Antonin Tuynman, PhD | Foreword to The Syntellect Hypothesis: Five Paradigms of the Mind's Evolution by Alex M. Vikoulov

"At a deep level all things in our Universe are ineffably interdependent and interconnected, as we are part of the Matryoshka-like mathematical object of emergent levels of complexity where consciousness pervades all levels." -Alex M. Vikoulov, The Syntellect Hypothesis

If you picked up this book, it is not unlikely that you may have heard of the early 20th century philosophical movement of Cosmism. This movement, which originated in Russia, was striving for conquering the planets and stars, for radical life extension, immortality and resurrection of our loved ones by the means of technology. Perhaps one of its most important pioneers was Konstantin Tsiolkovsky, whose aspirations did not only venture into the realm of the Macro, but also explored the Micro. He spoke of the atomic world as being animated and can thus be considered a kind of cosmist-panpsychist.

The Cybernetic Theory of Mind: The Five Foundational Axioms

“I believe that new mathematical schemata, new systems of axioms, certainly new systems of mathematical structures will be suggested by the study of the living world.” –Stan Ulam

“New opinions are always suspected, and usually opposed, without any other reason but because they are not already common.” –John Locke

This introductory article summarizes the tenets of the Cybernetic Theory of Mind (CTM) with the five foundational axioms. All of these starting assumptions for the new ontological framework are discussed in my recent book The Syntellect Hypothesis: Five Paradigms of the Mind's Evolution. Here I try to keep this summary short and simple for the reader, maximally leaning towards a more literary, “bookish” style rather than the overly scholarly one. Also, The Cybernetic Theory of Mind is a working title for my upcoming book to be published sometime within the next couple of years for the general audience. It may be followed by academic papers to clarify some thorny issues that I intend to publish on my own or in collaboration.

Anti-Time: A Twin of Time?

“The arrow of time obscures memory of both past and future circumstance with innumerable fallacies, the least trivial of which is perception.” -Ashim Shanker

"Whereas quantum physics and relativity theory have been solidly in place for over a century now, stubbornly and forcedly we still cling to atavistic interpretations, which are no longer in line with the well-established findings of our experiments in physics. Amidst the turmoil of this spinning convoluted dreamtime of our digital Cyberbardo, Vikoulov carves out a trajectory for understanding." -Antonin Tuynman, PhD, Foreword to The Physics of Time: D-Theory of Time & Temporal Mechanics

I think it’s time to reintroduce the concept of ‘Anti-Time’ which has long been seemingly a “taboo term” in the scientific community. This concept evidently has something to do with the observer-dependent reverse direction of time at a specific rate. You might ask, then: “Ok, so time could flow backwards in a mirror universe, but could it flow backwards here on Earth, could we reverse entropy, erase information, rewind and replay?”

The Great Reset 2020: What Would the Near Future Post-Pandemic World Look Like?

"Divide and rule, a sound motto. Unite and lead, a better one." -Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

The global health crisis is accelerating meta-trends and hurling civilization towards the cybernetic future. The disruptors are being disrupted, and the rush is on to digitize and virtualize everything in weeks' time that otherwise would have taken a few years to play out. Recent surveys show that we have compressed five years in business and consumer digital adoption within a couple of months.

Res Cogitans: The Intelligent Fabric of All Cosmic Creation

... or Elucidating the Reality of Our True Existential Venue

There's difficulty to be had in properly comprehending any elements stemming from a perception not of our own. Our first-hand encounters and the empirics which they accompany, are entirely misrepresented through the processes performed by our innate senses. Deception lies in anticipation for those only committed to evaluations of their environment from their physical senses. An agent of artifices whose only occupation rests in our duplicity. After all, it is our very psyche which houses the entity and culprit that are guilty for corrupting cognition. Our ego has cultivated a life's work out of its efforts into making the illusion real. Its magnum opus is "the deceit of man." A collection of pieces crafted by the consistent hand for imparting false perceptions unto all individuals. This well-orchestrated Mass Hallucination inevitably concludes with utter ignorance. For if unable to genuinely acknowledge that you have been made a victim of circumstance, these illusory conditions created by ego will never become clear, and you may never see and know the truth. The simple fact is things are not what they seem. Our venue, and all of the observable universe, is encompassed by the Creative Source responsible for all physical manifestations made visible in our experience. Materialized images produced by our intelligent designer. Items constructed through precise executions of its own intelligence. This knowledge is applied through a complete mastery and know-how of what we understand as Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and the mathematical equations necessary to oil their mechanistic procedures.

“Our world is built on biology and once we begin to understand it, it then becomes a technology.” -Ryan Bethencourt

We now know that all extant living creatures derive from a single common ancestor, called the 'Last Universal Common Ancestor' (LUCA). It’s hard to think of a more unifying view of life. All living things are linked to a single-celled creature, the deepest root to the complex-branching tree of life. If we could play the movie of life backward, we would find this microscopic primogenitor at the starting point of biological evolution, the sole actor in what would become a very dramatic story, lasting some 3.5 billion years leading to us.
