The Final War over Peace

The universe is filled with inevitabilities and eventualities.

Inevitably all things end. Eventually galaxies will collide. Inevitably life develops, and eventually it will die.

There are other eventualities that cover a more narrow state of being, specifically in regards to life itself.
In this case, we are talking about the eventuality of technologies evolution. Even past the point of the technological singularity, when artificial intelligence becomes greater than human intelligence, to the point of the acceleration of change. In accordance to Moores laws and all concepts regarding humans development into a type I civilization defined by Kardeshev.

With the acceleration of technology, and the eventual catalysts that will lead to certain leaps, changing and altering forever, the landscape of human history, we must consider other possibilities.

One possibility I consider when pondering technology and the future, is the final war. The war that is preceded by a war maintaining the general use of all available technologies for the gain of broad human concepts such as land, power, and money.

The final war in itself will not be based off of narrow human concepts that all the previous wars had been over. It will be fought over the existence of war itself. Its complexity will range between the ideologies of traditional human precepts including the necessity of war itself, to the idea of war defining the human spirit, and even the necessity of progress itself being dependant on the act of war.

There will be two sides to the war.
One side that will fight over the end to war. It will base its perspective on the fact that technology allows us to move beyond our simple human conditions. Life can be extended, basic necessities of life provided for all people, nobody goes hungry, all people are given energy, and money becomes obsolete. In essence there would be no need for war, as almost all problems war is had over, is solved through technology.

The other side will fight to continue war. They will fight to use technology for warring purposes. To prepare themselves for the eventualities of war. Traditional perspectives on the progress of technology through war. The act of war is a necessity to define us as human, to prepare us for hope as we struggle through strife, and to punish the obscured definition of evil.

This war will either continue on for an extended, possibly indefinite period of time, or it will truly end the need for war. At least in human terms.

Reaching that point in our culture, where our technologies solves almost all of our basic requirements for life, and even goes beyond it, will begin creating catalysts, more often than not, for utopian societies. Sometimes forced to separate itself from a portion of its culture and race, in order to blossom in its potential.

9 Year Old Boy Gets Firefighters Funeral

Take note, this is what a hero is.
--------

Tyler Doohan, the 8-year-old upstate New York boy who rescued six relatives from a fire but died while trying to save his grandfather, will be laid to rest Wednesday with a ceremony and honor befitting a fallen firefighter, according to local fire officials. Penfield Fire Company has kept an honor guard standing by the remains of the boy during calling hours since Monday, and at the end of a church service on Wednesday, Penfield Fire Chief Chris Ebmeyer will declare Tyler an honorary firefighter and present his family with a special fire helmet inscribed with the boy's name.

News (CT: Beliefs) - Pope Francis Condemns Racism and Declares "All Religions Are True"

"For the last six months, Catholic cardinals, bishops and theologians have been deliberating in Vatican City, discussing the future of the church and redefining long-held Catholic doctrines and dogmas. The Third Vatican Council, is undoubtedly the largest and most important since the Second Vatican Council was concluded in 1962. Pope Francis convened the new council to “finally finish the work of the Second Vatican Council.” While some traditionalists and conservative reactionaries on the far right have decried these efforts, they have delighted progressives around the world.
The Third Vatican Council concluded today with Pope Francis announcing that Catholicism is now a “modern and reasonable religion, which has undergone evolutionary changes. The time has come to abandon all intolerance. We must recognize that religious truth evolves and changes. Truth is not absolute or set in stone. Even atheists acknowledge the divine. Through acts of love and charity the atheist acknowledges God as well, and redeems his own soul, becoming an active participant in the redemption of humanity.”
“Through humility, soul searching, and prayerful contemplation we have gained a new understanding of certain dogmas. The church no longer believes in a literal hell where people suffer. This doctrine is incompatible with the infinite love of God. God is not a judge but a friend and a lover of humanity. God seeks not to condemn but only to embrace. Like the fable of Adam and Eve, we see hell as a literary device. Hell is merely a metaphor for the isolated soul, which like all souls ultimately will be united in love with God” Pope Francis declared."

News (QP: Sciences) -Time Emerges From Quantum Entanglement

"Time is an emergent phenomenon that is a side effect of quantum entanglement, say physicists. And they have the first experimental results to prove it

When the new ideas of quantum mechanics spread through science like wildfire in the first half of the 20th century, one of the first things physicists did was to apply them to gravity and general relativity. The result were not pretty.
It immediately became clear that these two foundations of modern physics were entirely incompatible. When physicists attempted to meld the approaches, the resulting equations were bedeviled with infinities making it impossible to make sense of the results.
Then in the mid-1960s, there was a breakthrough. The physicists John Wheeler and Bryce DeWitt successfully combined the previously incompatible ideas in a key result that has since become known as the Wheeler-DeWitt equation. This is important because it avoids the troublesome infinites—a huge advance.
But it didn’t take physicists long to realise that while the Wheeler-DeWitt equation solved one significant problem, it introduced another. The new problem was that time played no role in this equation. In effect, it says that nothing ever happens in the universe, a prediction that is clearly at odds with the observational evidence.
This conundrum, which physicists call ‘the problem of time’, has proved to be thorn in flesh of modern physicists, who have tried to ignore it but with little success."

The Omnist Standard

Now that I have expressed the concept of Omnism and my personal perspective that is influenced and apart of it's meaning, I can move on to more direct pursuit of giving it my own measure of understanding.

What follows is The Omnist Standard. A set of principles by which can guide the Omnist on whatever path they choose to take. It is by no means a source of rules or commandments to live by, rather tenets set to help define what Omnism is. If the tenets are not apart of your perspective, then you might not be an Omnist. Of course even if you do follow this standard of your own accord, it doesn't mean you have to consider yourself an Omnist.


The Omnist Standard:

* To have an open mind, and seek the answers in every perspective and belief. 

* All concepts developed by humankind, are connected in some way. No idea or belief exists independently of all other beliefs. Every element of the pursuit of knowledge, from science, to religion, is connected.

* Every belief and religion contain truth in some form or another.

* Never stop questioning.

* The Golden Rule exists in one form or another, in every belief and religion, as the most basic of approaches to the development of the self.

* One can hold a single belief above all others linked by a personal connection, yet still acknowledge that all other beliefs are as important, born from the same sources, and entwined by the past, present, and future of human kinds potential.

The Omnists Core Conviction

* This is the belief you specifically might follow more so than any other. It is not necessary for any Omnist to have a Core Conviction, nor is it necessary to define "Core Conviction" as a full belief or religion in and of itself. The "Core Conviction" for some, might simply be a code they live by, such as the Golden Rule, or a mantra, or quote. It is simply the conviction that one has which takes precedence in how one views the universe.

(My Omnist Core Conviction is Quantum Buddhism)
