So, this might be considered somewhat pretentious. I pride myself with having a twisted mind. This presentation aims to share some of the twistedness with the help of my cats. Please feel free to comment. Hope that this presentation might inspire a thought or two or at the very least give you an insight of how cool and philosophical devon rex cats really are =)

1. My PHILOSOPHY

Starring Kurt & Elvis,

2. ight...
This is not going to be your average
R deadpan powerpoint presentation.
This presentation will attempt to
challenge your ideas about reality,
perception, faith and logic.
Time does not have to be linear,
neither do you. Please feel free
to use the back button at any time.

3. Befo re we
begin...
I consider myself as lucky to
live in a world where quantum
mechanics, hippies, science,
information technology and
oddball philosophers are
readily available.
I also appreciate that subversive
thoughts are not considered -Sorry, Alice. There will be no
mentioning of Schrödinger's dog.
illegal (yet).

4. Put your
swimsuit on...
...we're going to
dive into the sea
of strange
assumptions...

5. 1. there is no
spoon
The spoon might be there,
but there is no way to be sure.
If you like spoons, knock -Ok with me. As long as there is tuna.
yourself out. If not, well there Have you been smoking catnip again?
is none, right?!

6. “My goal is to try to get people into a state of
generalized agnosticism, not agnosticism
about God alone, but agnosticism about
everything.” -Robert Anton Wilson
-Oh hai! I'm Schroedinger's invizibul, white ninjakitteh!
I'm so invizibul that I don't even exist...maybe

7. “I think, therefore I am?”
..I think not!
-I think, therefore I'm hungry, dude!

8. The being that 'I' seem to
refer to as 'I' seems
to be convinced
of its own
existence,
therefore 'I'
have
prejudices
regarding my
own existence.
-Can you have some prejudice about
bringing me some food too, plz?

9. Who is the master
who makes the
grass green?
Observation is not a passive process.
Every sensory input is interpreted
and manipulated by your brain and
sensory organs.
Do you think that it is possible to -I'm not sure. But I'll bet
separate the external world your garden hose helps.
from your interpretation of it?

10. ...so, th ere is
no s p oon!
-Ah. I get it.
There is no spoon, since there is no
'is',right?! Ok. Bring tuna naow,plz!

11. 2. inform ation
is life
What is the
difference between
genes and
memes...really?
-Whoa dude!
That's deep

12. What is life
if not simply
a matter of
prejudice?
All we know are
prejudices.
Perhaps we should
choose them wisely. -Edible?!

13. Consider this:
The fundamental building
blocks of our reality are
not particles or energy,
but information.

14. -Oh Hai! Check out my string theory; It's sneaky!
Perhaps god is to be found in white noise, in the decimals of
pi, or in quantization errors? Entropy could be god aging?

15. co mmun ication
fa cilitates
ev olution
Better!
Faster!
Stronger! -Life wants to live! Information wants to be free!
And all your cheese are belong to Kurt!

16. 3. rea lity is
no t binary
Null-A logic
is true!
Why not
give it a try
today! -It's just a matter of perspective, silly. Send my regards to
Schrödinger's cat, he is/was a cool dude.

17. Realities
are like
espresso
machines -
Everybody's
got one!
-I'll burst your reality bubblez!

18. Summary:
re is no s p oon
1. The n is life
2. Informatio
3. Th e world is not
binary
-And there is no 'is', dude. *doublefacepalm*

19. Everybody has their own
Three prejudice regarding reality –
simple
Seek to understand, not to
control!
rules Just because you have chosen
a path does not mean that it is
for everyone –
Show respect!
You cannot fly with both feet

Dare to let go every now and
then!
