The statement.
Universe conquering is the philosophy, planning and execution of eliminating constraints on human existence by understanding and controlling reality.
The principles.
- Human existence is inherently limited. These limitations come on multiple levels:
- Day-to-day needs and wants.
- Complex systemic problems, e.g. pre-defined human lifespan and cognitive capacities.
- Entropy and the laws of physics, and other constraints posed by the universe itself.
2. Zero-sum games take up most of human attention and endeavor. Their solving tackles the superficial, immediate constraints
on human life and thus can only be so rewarding. Fundamental constraints are what puts an end to human life.
3. A ground truth-level understanding of reality is
necessary for solving fundamental constraints.
4. Understanding aging, consciousness, and the deeper problems fills gaps in
human knowledge that are the realm of philosophy, e.g. the meaning of life.
