In a recent congress of dual cosmic singulartarians in the Cayman Islands, we had exciting conversations with many participants who had gathered from around the world, although we were not sure if all the attendees were legitimate congress members or were mostly there to tend to their off-shore accounts!
As the congress and the conversations progressed over the three-day event, it occurred to us that as practitioners and community leaders of fictional science and pataphysics based Dual Cosmic Singularity (DCS), we had to address the singulartarians’ philosophical foundations.
Upon returning to Cambridge, we conducted many discussions, investigations and consultations, to finally conclude that Baruch Spinoza’s philosophy and beliefs are the best representations of what DCS philosophical foundations would be. In other words, we consider henceforth Spinoza to be the patron-philosopher of dual cosmic singulartarians.
We will not delve into Spinoza’s full philosophy – that will be done over time and gradually – but his views on pantheism and on free will and freedom are the strongest argments for elevating him to this stature. In this note, however, we will concentrate on the pantheism phenomenon. It is the most straight forward way to see why Spinoza has become the patron-philosopher of dual cosmic singulartarians.
He was one of the major contributors to the foundations of pantheism, which he argues in his major work, Ethics, as being the true view of God. Spinoza's concept of God is that of a single, infinite substance that encompasses everything in existence, often equating God with nature itself. He believed that God is immutable (does not change), eternal, and the cause of all things. However, he rejects the classical religion’s view of a personal God who watches everything and everyone, intervenes in the world, and hands out punishment. “The physical universe is thus understood as an immanent (meaning inherent) deity, still expanding and creating, which has existed since the beginning of time.”1
In a post published on March 17, 2023 (Fabric and the inner cloak of the universe), we discussed the spacetime fabric of the universe and asked: “Could this spacetime fabric be the very God that humanity has stood by for over 3000 years?” As defined currently in science, spacetime fabric is not an actual fabric, but it's just the fundamental geometry of nature and the universe; just as Spinoza’s God is an infinite substance present everywhere and equated with the nature and not a specific existence outside of the universe. In addition, as we have discussed before, 68% of our universe’s energy-mass composition is made up of dark energy that is causing it to expand, thus making it consistent with the last sentence of the previous paragraph on universe’s expansion and creation.
In a somewhat related article, published on March 10, 2023 (Beyond the Dark Web, with Dark Energy) we concluded that: “The Life singularity, Dark Energy and acceleration of the expansion rate of the universe are intertwined. Consequently, the day we explain Dark Energy, we can explain Life singularity.”Thus, much of our investigations on this subject can be guided by pantheism and Spinoza’s enlightenment.
We provide a second side note to support our elevation of Spinoza to the rank of the patron-philosopher of singulartarians: In a letter to Max Born, Einstein, our prophet of the first singularity, big bang, declares, “I believe in Spinoza’s God who reveals himself in the harmony of all that exists, but not in a God who concerns himself with the fate and actions of human beings.”
To conclude this post, we note that DCS goes beyond Spinoza’s metaphysics into the realm of pataphysics and postulates that ‘the beginning of time’ has originated from the first singularity (big bang), which is distinct from life, the second singularity.
