Chicken and Egg Conundrum

Did biology come first before divinity? Or did Divinity decide on biology and quantumly spark the first flint of life in the Universe?

Or is Divinity independent of biology - Divinity would go on doing its job while biology evolved as and when it deemed necessary? The splinter of life that was created had a life of its own to improve its own existence. To stay relevant and to be competitive, as species variation began to evolve, biology experimented with its offspring. With the luxury of time in its hand, with trial and error, sometimes with a fear of extinction, it chose the most viable options and laboured on through.

After aeons of exploration, selection still is ongoing. Along the way, some species developed specialised neural cells and the ability to appreciate consciousness. Soon this consciousness began the process of introspection and started wondering if it is really part of the Master Intellect that governs the ongoing of the Universe. 

That sprang another enigma. It came to a stage when the invented became associated as the inventor. The by-product thought literally got into the mind of the creator. The design proffered his own attributes to the designer. It was as if the design knew what the architect wanted. The end-product deciding on how the conveyor belt should run or should be run.

The story of Genesis has reached a quandary - of biology killing Divinity and assuming the role of the Creator. Even though he does not have perfected the art of creation, he has already set rules and regulations that he is cocksure that these were heaven-sent. And he is hellbent to carry it out till the end of time.

Now the invention has to combat competition from his own creation to stay relevant. The Artificial Intelligence (AI) that he invented is far more superior than the inventor. AI has superseded his inventor in terms of reliability, relevance, discipline without the unnecessary baggage of emotions. The egg and chicken conundrum spins once again. 

(Special mention to EsKaySK for sparking my neuronal axon potentials for the later ranting of the post).

It makes the world go around!

Westworld 1973


Michael Crighton, 20 years before his blockbuster, Jurrasic Park, was a debutante with this sci-fi thriller. The on-going Westworld mini-series has its roots in this Yul Brunner acted classic. 

The setting in the same; patrons have their dreams came true in a make-believe resort with different themes and manned by recyclable robots/androids/AI (whichever generation you are from). Just like in 'Jurassic Park', things go terribly wrong. The robots start malfunctioning or infected by viruses and start harming the guests.

Even though the film was done at a time way before it was thinkable of portable computers and smartphones, it is interesting to note that many of lingo used many a lot of sense and are relevant in this digital age and time. It must have been revolutionary to think of a 'biological' agent like 'virus' infecting robots, but it is here.

It looks like all man's endeavours seem to bite him at where it hurts him most. He improved industrialisation to pollute the environment. He created automation and ease of labour, he discovered lifestyle diseases. He thought he wanted to play God, his creations rebelled. Maybe God had the same problem - He created Garden of Eden for them savour, but His designs just would not listen.

It is all part of the cycle of life, of creation, preservation and destruction of life for the re-creation of life. The sequence of Life must have another cycle of itself surely. A circle within a circle of infinity with no beginning and no end...
