Can’t resist a short post! A good one! Yes, that is coherent with the theology of the universal machine. To oversimplify science is G and religion is G*; a,d the mystical machine understand intuitively this, which makes that the scientist is usually right, never certain, and never knowing what he really talk about, where the religious (the genuine mystic) is always certain, know very well the truth and … stay completely mute about it. The problem comes from the half illuminated who talk too much, and from the parrots who repeat without understanding but get susceptible when we propose other definitions, other theories, other conceptions. With mechanism, the religious who talk is *always* wrong. A religious who talks is either mad or a con artist. Lao-Ze arguably got this or similar when saying that the wise stays mute and the fool talks. But now, how to talk about what we cannot talk about? Mechanism illustrate the solution, as rich machine can study the theology of less rich machine, and lift the finding, with caution, to themselves. It works because it is a negative theology (like the neoplatonic one), and it helps mainly to see how complex the internal phenomenological reality can be and become.
