Looking for Spinoza and that man could be a mystery even to himself.

Let's start with substances. 

The cloud above this text looks like a man. You can find the picture of Baruch Spinoza lower in this text. The cloud is large, it's visible,  but we cannot touch it. So that is substance without physical contact. Or it's the large group of physical substances. If we think that steam is entirety where is a large group of atoms. We can affect those substances as a group. 

We can blow air to that could. But we cannot affect water molecules separately. In philosophy term substance means stable independent creature. But here I must say that even the Higgs boson is stable for a very short time. So what is the length of the timeline what substance should be existed for being stable? And if we are thinking about the stability of the things like quarks we must realize that the quarks are stable when they are forming entireties like protons and neutrons. 

Those things are forming quarks and gluons. So should we say that protons and neutrons are the minimum substances of stable material? In that case, we must determine are the objects or creatures are some other particles and also substances? Or should we call protons and neutrons "dirty substances" because there are two kinds of elementary particles? And if there are some particles there are only quarks, should we call them pure substances? We can affect large groups of atoms very easily. We must only blow air to that cloud. 

But we cannot affect the single hydrogen and oxygen atoms without special equipment. And in cloud minimum substances are the single atoms like in all materials. Or actually, quarks or gluons are the minimum substances in the material. But the smallest possible independent creature in nature is the electron. Or for determining that thing we must determine the time that particle spends outside the entirety. 

Sometimes I must ask why in every case there is mentioned that the philosopher has some kind of religion? Or why things like schizophrenia are always mentioned in biographies of the researchers? 

But let's continue with Spinoza.

Today I saw the book on the internet. The name of that book was Looking for Spinoza. And it was written by Antonio Damasio. Immediately I didn't remember who Spinoza was and I started to search for that person on the Internet. There was one person who fit to profile and the name of that person was Baruch Spinoza (1632-1677)the Dutch Jew philosopher who lived in 17th Century Netherlands. 

Sometimes I wonder why religion plays so big a role in that man's biography? Why at the beginning of the biography is always mentioned that person is a Jew or person has Schizophrenia? Then I started to search what kind of philosopher Baruch Spinoza was. And I must confess one thing. 

There might be nobody including Spinoza himself who knows Baruch Spinoza perfectly. So I must say that when I saw his biography that he was the man whose writings had influence. An interesting thing was that Spinoza was kicked off the Jew society because of his opinions. 

At this point, I must publish my thoughts about this man and his nature. He is fascinating, impressive, provocative, calls the question, and radical. So this man is a philosopher in the best way. He dares to call the question and challenge morals and ethics. And he path the road to an intelligent universe and virtual universe theories. 

Sometimes people are saying that the best argument against virtual universe theory is the motive. Why does somebody make that virtual world? But if we are living in an intelligent universe we can ask would that creature have the possibility to change the reality? Or would we be so small a substance that it cannot make so small things? 

Some philosophers are saying that affecting,  the reality of the Earth-size object requires that our hypothetically intelligent universe could control extremely small things. If the intelligent universe would be our size affecting Earth requires that this substance can control every single atom in its body. So could the intelligent universe even know about us? The thing is that we could be so small a substance that the universe will not recognize our existence.

Here are some thoughts that Spinoza introduced.

Baruch Spinoza thought that God was nature. Or God is the same as the natural world. 

God is at the same time as created nature and is the creator of nature. 

The Natural world remains forever. 

Good and bad, what bases are in human feelings cannot be determined.

The pursuit of understanding, as well as acceptance of reality and mystery, are true virtues.

Faith and hope are indiscriminate feelings that are always linked to fear and despair in the role of their flippers.

Everything necessarily happens the way it does. There is no free will in any noun sense. 

Man's freedom consists of it or, as far as he sees everything happening, the adequate (the right) reasons. 

Everything done by humans and other animals is always deterministically meaningful since everything affects eternal nature. 

(https://fi.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baruch_Spinoza)

The thing in Spinoza's thinking is that he determines that everything is material. So somebody believes that Spinoza is a materialist. The idea of the material god that is connected with the material is giving an idea for things like intelligent and virtual universe theory and quantum computing. In quantum computing, things like photon clouds are put to handle data. 

And theoretically, is possible to make a universe-size quantum computer where all photons in the visible universe are participating in the computing process. So if we will try to connect that theory with Spinoza and his thoughts we can think that we are creatures who live in the brains of giant creatures. 

And Spinoza determined that God and Nature are two names for the same reality. So the question is can God change reality where the other substances are living? If those substances are living in God's brains. But if everything is material Spinoza is also material himself. 

In philosophy term substance means stable independent creature. A creature can be a phenomenon, it can be something that happens or it can be real or virtual. Term minimum substance means smallest possible stable creature. 

Thoughts and feelings are material. And that is an interesting thing. The question is what is the minimum substance that affects neurons. Can a single electron be that minimum substance? The thing is that the minimum substance means the smallest creature or particle that can affect electric actions in the neurons. 

Those things are basing chemical interaction between neurons. But thoughts are virtual things. So is the human body or human brain the place where two substances are connecting? The virtual substance or creature and physical creature. 

Neuroelectricity is like the virtual substance in our brains. That is like the nerve's operating system. In computers the operating system is virtual. Or is it virtual? Computer code is a series of magnetic marks on a hard disk. That thing controls the computer similar way neuro electricity controls neurons in human brains. 

And the physical substance of a stable creature is the human body. The thing is that the substance can be virtual. It can be thought or it can be something that we can touch. 

Spinoza was the man whose work made it possible to create the intelligent universe and virtual universe theories. And by the way when we are using our brains and creating virtual images by using our imagination. We can create the virtual universe in our imagination and fly anywhere we want in seconds just by using our productive thinking and ability to handle virtual things just by using our couple of hundred trillion neurons.
