I'd like to discuss this image. I personally don't buy into it, but something about it bothers me.
A good couple years ago, I had a bit of an existential crisis revolving around the existence of God. Beforehand I was torn about whether or not God even existed; some periods of time (a good few months at a time) I'd go through a phase where I felt like it was unshakeable fact that he didn't, while during other times it seemed to be unshakeable fact that he did.

Then something happened.
Things just sorta started to make a lot more sense to me regarding the nature of a God. It bothered the hell out of me, and it got to the point where I was drawing up notebook after notebook of notes that I can't even read now and illustrations of models of understanding God and how the universe worked.
Of these illustrations was something I nicknamed among myself the "Ribbon Thetan." A model that bothered me that I kept drawing out and scrapping and remodelling and perfecting until I finally came across what I thought was the perfect model of essentially what' God literally is.
And that brings us to why this image bothers me so goddamned much. This looks almost identical to that stupid model I was raging about and so autistically obsessed with.

This is why it is a bad idea to listen to science grad students about matters of philosophy. There has been a sort of breakdown in the ability to develop critical thinking and understanding skills for some reason.

t. original starter of this argument and former doer of science.
