The current scientific consensus in the official discourse is that we do not yet have the technology and measurement devices to study the metaphysical world. So let's leave this question unsettled, and let's explore the areas that we can explore now to try and improve our lives. It is not a question of faith, because you can believe in, for example, Saint Nicholas or the Virgin Mary. It's a matter of knowing, and we just don't know yet.
That's what science says. Of course, by the way, I will add that this does not prevent various groups of so-called rationalists or skeptics, referring to science, to claim that this metaphysical sphere certainly does not exist. And that it is generally settled, so only atheism, science, capitalism, and consumption.
➡️ I agree with what I wrote above - that this is a great unknown that will be explained (or not) only after the death of each of us. So the so-called "direct evidence" for the existence of spirituality or God does not exist. But one can know the world as a Gnostic and notice various strange phenomena and laws. Principles operating in this world are generally hidden from people. Because this truth would be too terrible and impossible for them to bear. This in a way protects too weak people from nihilism, depression or something even worse.
So there are the so-called "indirect evidence", which is learned along with the laws and principles of the system's operation. So I know that the operating system that manages the planet, nature, etc., exists. The main conclusion I draw from this science is the fact that it is a brilliantly, even virtuoso, botched system, arranged in such a way that the creatures of various species living here are not too well. There is not enough of everything, you have to fight for everything and push yourself with your elbows, there are plenty of predators (also among people), parasites, pathogens, diseases, genetic errors, accidents, violence, mental disorders, and so on.
It is a structure too ingeniously botched to have just come into existence as a result of an accidental big bang.
➡️ The operating system is the structure governed by its own laws and the punishment of those who break out. But it's possible that the source code was compiled incorrectly. Or it was working fine at first, but after a while, it got stuck, got "paranoid" or something like a Mobius loop. It is certainly an undeniable fact that this world is not well arranged, and it was not created for our happiness and prosperity.
There are two main "source codes" inside this system. The first is Darwinism, known from the animal world. That is, predation, constant violence, grabbing scraps, hierarchy, and the associated oppression of individuals at its bottom. And the second source code is a "system overlay", i.e. human cooperation, empathy, the peaceful pursuit of goals, and so on.
➡️ These two source codes contradict each other and "bite" each other. The former, Darwinian, still has a stronger influence on us humans. For millennia, humanity has tried to introduce some mechanisms related to this second, peaceful code to improve their lives. There is a lot of talk about it now, but often it ends with talking.
We have developed nuclear, computer, and space technology, but our emotional sphere is just in its infancy and is somewhere in the Stone Age. In addition, the mechanisms associated with the first, Darwinian source code seem to want to destroy those people who have the advantage of the second, peaceful code in their mentality. And they support those who are ruthless, with predominantly Darwinian characteristics.
It will be hard to change our situation. As long as it's even possible. What do you think? I invite you to the discussion.
