There is a mantra: I am the light I am the love I am the truth I am What do you think about that?

Welcome back, Mr Wizard man! Yes. Assumptions are the real idolatry and the root of sin. Thus, to think you know is to negate knowledge itself. "I think, therefore I am," is backwards. It should be, "I am, therefore I think, and the thinking confers two choices : I assume, and I become death ; or, I ask, and I become life." The choice is always thanatos or zoe. I have never met anyone who understood, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me." Its a very Greek statement.

I've always thought "I think therefore I am" was backwards too, though I now think "I am therefore I am" or rather "This is therefore this is" seem more accurate than the direct inverse.

Much prefer the philosophical musing: “Man alive!”

Information is all that has already happened - 100 percent certainty Knowledge is the awareness of odds - the probability distribution of future outcomes .. Why knowledge is better than information .. because it is the most compressed way to distribute .. if I say there is a fifty fifty chance of heads and tails ( knowledge) ..I don't have to send individual record of million flips ..or billions .. As a result - knowledge gets replicated .. over and over .. which leads to decentralized system ..

Yeah, rereading it, I don't think the direct inverse really works. Do rocks think? Maybe, but if they do, its probably not to the point where they ask questions. Or maybe they do... Or maybe the lack of questions implies a lack of existence... Or maybe I'm taking it too far 😂

Or maybe I'm not taking too far 🤔... The Greeks categorized rocks as thanatos... Thanatos, bios, and zoe. And the kairos! Ignition, striking while the iron is hot, the spark that makes the bios tick. I f'n love the Greeks.

Tell me more, if thou wouldst

Well, "I think therefore I am" is much too wordy and pretentious of a way of stating your existence and also can't be spoken to easily convey emotion; "Man Alive!" can be said in anger, dejection, joy, matter of fact and in general it has the bonus effect of not making you sound like a prick in your day to day existance.
