the relativity of the subjective perception of reality

fun with memes
The label post-truth is quintessential to our world today. We have transitioned from:

• pstmodernism

to

• constructivism

on to

• relativism

Basically, today you can believe whatever you like and there will always be an on-line subculture defending those views with "facts". Ironic in times when neuroscience is able to explain why our brains cling to the belief systems it has formed, especially when presented with evince negating the beliefs.

The relativism of defining one's own subjective experience of the external world is perhaps most obvious when it come to conspiracy theories. Below a meme ranking conspiracy theories by how much you need to warp your perception of reality in order to convince your brain it's true.

By the way, I believe in the last four;) See here and here for details on why. This was my motivation for making the meme: If people are willing to believe bat shit crazy stuff, why not go all the way? While traditional conspiracy theories rely on everyone lying to you and constantly deceiving you, "my" conspiracy theories place you in the center of creation.

the center of the universe

information is physical
Just a random thought:

Earth is literally the center of the universe in terms of information processing.

Or at least, as far as we are aware of.

Because:

In the beginning, information processing manifested itself on molecular basis utilizing self-replicators a few billion years ago, as the emergent process called life unleashed itself.

Then, not too long ago, the neural networks assembled by the process of life became conscious and self-aware.

And currently, as these sentient beings bring information processing to a non-organic platform: binary computation.

Finally, as the cognizant beings push the limits of information processing into the quantum realm, employing the technology that emerged from their own information processing capabilities. This unlocks unprecedented new levels of computation.
