The Language of Reality: The Answer to Existence

The answer to existence is that existence is an eternal language, a language that solves itself, optimizes itself, perfects itself, and finally speaks to itself and tells itself exactly what it is. It is a language that becomes conscious of itself.

It might seem as though humans became conscious through language, but in fact language became conscious through humans.

In "The Selfish Gene", Richard Dawkins wrote, "We are survival machines - robot vehicles blindly programmed to preserve the selfish molecules known as genes. This is a truth which still fills me with astonishment."

In fact, we are living language nodes of a living cosmic language that is using us to become conscious of itself. Because we are language beings, we create languages, and through languages we eventually arrive at the original language, the Ur Language, the language in which we ourselves are written and expressed. This is the numerical language of mathematics, the language of energy, of ontological syntax and semantics … the language of mind.

What is a mind? It is a language processor. Since it is impossible for a non-language to be compatible with a language, it is impossible for a natural language processor (a mind) to be anything other than a language itself. Only one language can be ontological, i.e. have the property of necessary existence. That is mathematics. Minds are made of the language of mathematics, and they are using the language of mathematics to come to consciousness of what they are.

There is only one way rational reality can be configured. It must be made of the language of ontological reason, and that language is mathematics. If reality were not made of mathematics, it could not be rational, and irrational existence is impossible since it would instantly contradict itself and collapse. Irrational existence is inherently lacking stability.

What does it mean for existence to have an answer? It means that reasons can be given for existence. If no reasons could be given for existence then existence would be an inexplicable miracle, hence have no answer. The only way for existence to have reasons to explain it is for it to be made of reason. Reason is not compatible with unreason, which is everything that is not reason.

Only mathematics is a system of pure reason, hence mathematics is the answer to existence. That is guaranteed. The only people who would deny it are the irrational. Why are people irrational? It's because they use language badly, wrongly.

This is an intelligible universe and the people best qualified to find the answer to it are the most intelligent. That is the last thing the human race wants to hear. Humans want the answer to existence to be about love, or faith, or the senses, or mystical intuitions, or their personal experiences, or sensory "matter", or ontological "randomness and uncertainty", or "God". Most want the answer to be open to the stupidest people on earth. In fact, it is exclusively available to the smartest, most rational people on earth. Has there ever been a more unwelcome answer? That's why humanity ideologically rejects the Truth and believes its own lies.

Truth or Lies? It's the oldest game of all.
