Core Concept

Superimmortalism

The philosophical position that follows from accepting superimmortality. A worldview, a set of values, and a practical stance.

Superimmortalism is the belief in science being the ultimate source of knowledge. Epistemology is a science that deals with knowledge, it means the study of knowledge. All knowledge is in the form of consciousness. It just happens to be spread over many different conscious beings (humans). Superimmortalism is the consequence of the scientific study of consciousness and ixperiencitness. The brain is itself not conscious. It produces consciousness when it changes in the right ways and does not produce consciousness when it does not change or does not change in the right ways.

Superimmortalism are useful scientific ways to understand and create consciousnesses and ixperiencitnesses thus giving more to actual positive conscious existence than all the supernatural belief systems combined do, including all religions. There are many different conscious paths to see why this is true. Many people may not be able to understand the foundations and proofs of superimmortalism in terms of the mathematics and science concepts used, but most people do not actually fully understand what they believe in or why they believe what they do. They commit to certain ideas because it is easier to at least say they believe than to argue other view points that they scarcely not know about.

Superimmortalism is the belief in superimmortality. Superimmortality is produced by nature randomly to a limited extent. But superimmortality is controllable by conscious beings that are produceable by other conscious beings all that have unifying concepts of having the same or approximate ixperiencitnesses. This concept that conscious beings that can exist at the same time can have the same ixperiencitness is a revolutionary concept that changes the future of conscious existence. You care to some degree about what you will experience in the future. You make efforts to make future experiences better and to avoid bad experiences. Superimmortality is based on the concept that the structure and functioning of the brain produces consciousness and ixperiencitness. If the structure and functioning of the brain in another body is close to that of the originals it will produce the same consciousness and ixperiencitness as is being, will be, or was produced by the original. Any part of your conscious life can be recreated at any time and it will be just like for you when you experienced it the first time. But there is much more to superimmortality than just that simple part. Any environment and sequence of conscious experiences (sensepath) can be applied to any point on your physapath producing an enumerable amount of different awarepaths all of which you will experience just like what you are experiencing now, when they are created. some of these life expereince will be nice, some average, and some awful. this is where the different actual existing versions of yourself can help make good decisions about which experiences get produced and how often. If you know that other people can have consciousness that you experience you may be nicer to others. The saying "do unto others as you would do unto yourself." can be restated as "do unto others as you would yourself because they may in fact be versions of yourself that you are actually experiencing.

Since superimmortality predicts that there can be many versions of yourself existing through out space and time you actually are much more than a singular short lived person with a singular short conscious life. It is a superlife, thus a superimmortal life. But there are no guarantee of this superlife because all of human life may end tomorrow and may not ever exist again. But even if all of human life is destroyed this does not means that there can not be other human like conscious beings existing through out the universe or multiverse that have your ixperiencitness or other humans ixperiencitnesses. Like is often promised in religions what you do in this life time can influence what you experience later, as in going to a hell or heaven like existence after death.

Superimmortality predicts that there are more enhanced consciousnesses for each ixperiencitness then there are normal and degraded consciousness in a ixperiencitness grouping of consciousnesses. This is because enhanced consciousness will have more complex brains and more complex brains will be able to functioning in more different ways than less complex brains can thus producing more different consciousnesses.

Superimmortalism is the most positive all inclusive belief system. Some belief systems may be more positive but they are limited in scope and truth value. For instance, a belief system can predict and believe that after this moment or some other specific moment that all will be perfection. Perfection may not follow the specified moment in time making the belief system false. However, in an awarepaducer the predictions can be accomplished for the limited number of consciousnesses and ixperiencitnesses involved for a limited amount of time. Superimmortalism contains and deals with all possible consciousnesses thus all possible belief systems. Placing value on belief systems is dependent on the desired goals that are desired being produced in the reality.

Superimmortalism is a belief system of understanding and control of consciousness and ixperiencitness. This means it puts extra value on consciousnesses that have understanding of other consciousnesses and how to create them. But it does not deny the value of any consciousness even consciousnesses that contain suffering and undesirable awaresections. The desirability of an awaresection of awaremoment is one of perspective. For example, if you have never experienced a certain kind of suffering you may not be aware of its external signs or internal experience. Consequently, you may not be aware of its extreme undesirability in experiencing it until you actually do and then have a useful memory of its awfulness. Control comes in the form of the ability to control which awaremoments and awaresections are produced and which ones will not be. Without knowledge of the consciousnesses being produced control has limited usefulness. It is like a blind person painting a picture without any awareness of what is being painted. The picture may be beautiful, interesting, revolting, or any number of different additives depending on the consciousness that is observing the painting. To gain awareness of what physapaths produce which awarepaths experimentation, rationalizations, and memory of the results is necessary. It is not necessary to produce every painful or undesirable physapaths to know that which ones to avoid. It is not even necessary for the deciders to have actually experience of undesirable awarepaths to be aware of why they should not be produced. For example, I do not have to be burned at the stake to know that I do not want to be burned at the stake, even if I know that it will not be the permanent end of my conscious existence. Of course, there will likely be those consciousnesses that have other reasons to experience it. Some of the reasons may even be rational. If you know that you will be conscious after the event in a new body with the same ixperiencitness without long lasting negative but useful memories and know that you actually did not suffer to much it maybe a rational choice.

The understanding and belief in at least some of the ideas proposed by superimmortalism gives life meaning in many different ways. One life is not all there is to the conscious existence for each person. One form of meaning for a life is giving it a purpose. Superimmortality is what conscious beings make of it. This gives each life purpose to either continue conscious life in the universe or to add to its eventual extinction. Conscious beings can do and make wonderful things. They can take care of the universe or destroy its ability to be beautiful and produce amazing consciousnesses for each ixperiencitness.

Superimmortalism is a belief system of omniscience, omnipresence, omnipotence, and omnibenevolence. Superimmortalism is not god based or god promoting like most religions are. But it has the god like properties. Superimmortalism is more about the god like properties of ixperiencitness. Ixperiencitness ties consciousness together. The science that superimmortalism is based on show how this is possible. Consciousnesses with one ixperiencitness can exist through all time. This is omnipresence. The ability of consciousnesses to be enhanced and their multiplicity of potential existence with the same ixperiencitness gives them the ability to understand everything. Understanding everything or at least the important things is omniscience. The ability to produce any consciousness with any ixperiencitness is the most important form of omnipotence. By working together this is what can be achieved by conscious beings. The realization of the fact that some consciousnesses are better than others is the foundation of benevolence. Consciousnesses in control can be aware of the ixperiencitness connection between them and can thus work toward producing more desirable consciousnesses. As control and understanding of how to produce consciousnesses increases the number of undesirable consciousness can be greatly reduced. What keeps this process from going terrible wrong is that if you make mistakes you suffer for it. If you do not make the appropriate changes then you are unaware of this ixperiencitness connection to other consciousnesses. The process is self correcting because it is a process of awareness, suffering, and striving for achievement of better and more enhanced consciousnesses.

Superimmortalism is not based on faith like many religions and other belief systems are. Superimmortalism is a belief system that respects, needs, and pursues knowledge not faith. People can have faith in the ideas of superimmortalism but they do not have to. Arguments and discussions about superimmortalism are good. They can point out the problems with superimmortality and find solutions to its many questions that it raises. Working to develop coherence with all of the different areas of science makes the understanding and applicability of this belief system better. We must always understand that we may be wrong in some to all of the ideas. More likely they are not wrong, but too simple to explain all of the complexity of consciousness and ixperiencitness. But the ideas of awaretheory that superimmortalism are based on (hopefully) are at least a beginning or useful additions to our understanding. Superimmortalism should never be based on dogma. It needs to be dynamic and adaptable to the needs of conscious beings as they face the challenges of survival in this universe or multiverse over time. Superimmortalism can be said to be the belief system of the modern world of science and technology. Such a belief system as superimmortalism is even more important when many people are turning against science because they believe that it gives each individual no conscious future after death, when religions supposedly do. Superimmortalism is a belief system based on advanced scientific ideas that gives conscious beings an understanding of superimmortality and how to make it better, which is much superior to all religious forms or theories of immortality. If conscious beings do not know about and then understand these ideas they become much less useful. So like any belief system an ever increasing effort needed to be made to spread these ideas in ways that people can understand, analyze, and utilize them.
