For context, Memnon SPEEDwalked like an Olympian to obey school rules and arrive at
the front of the panorama. “‘Well how about it’, Rachel to Memnon, called Randall, with her
eyes neon and anime-esk. ‘How about it.’ ‘How the hell did you know!’, Randall shouted with
his mouth almost making literally diamonds in the ground: ‘How the fuck did I know what’,
Rachel slightly emphasized the term fuck. Fuck, fuck, fuck. Randall’s eyes looked toward the
ground as if he was going to water the plants with his tears. Randall motioned for Rachel to take
the spot in the panorama, in front of him. ‘Cluster fuck?’, echoed a few students entering. The
panorama rolled off the lip so well,curse words had to replace the term. Randall’s head almost
instinctively nodded upon hearing other students refer to the posing position as a ‘cluster
fuck’”(Ohnemus 2024).

How often has someone been too nice? Is altruism ever excessive and pathological.
Perhaps so, as generosity drove Memnon to madness in the horror story below. Memnon
probably was too generous.
Once one perfectly individualizes, perfection destroys both suffering and boredom.
Feuerbach was a humanist yet denied being atheist. According to Feuerbach, “man is to
himself his own object of thought and that religion is nothing more than a consciousness of the
infinite. The result of this view is the notion that God is merely the outward projection of man’s
inward nature”(Britannica 2024). If Feuerbach was not an atheist then, what were his beliefs of
the afterlife? Who knows the afterlife? Are some afterlife beliefs more humanitarian than others?
Are some afterlife beliefs more individualized than others?

“This paper delves into the theoretical investigation of the afterlife through the lens of
differential equations, bridging philosophy, science, and engineering. While theories are not
facts, and differential equations are traditionally rooted in applied mathematics, this study
extends their application to explore the afterlife—a subject often considered far-fetched. The
Modeling Differential Equations proposed here, such as (P)' = ~S and (S)' = ~E, symbolize the
derivation of science from philosophy and engineering from science, respectively. By analyzing
classical philosophical texts, theology, and religious studies, we aim to derive scientific insights
and subsequently examine these insights independently. The current lack of mechanisms to
observe the afterlife leaves the engineering variable unidentified. Through philosophical
exploration, including gnostic interpretations of religious texts, this paper hypothesizes that
theological and classical philosophies can offer valuable frameworks for understanding the
afterlife. The Bible's interpretations and the Gnostic Gospels serve as key texts in this analysis,
proposing that ancient wisdom might align with modern theoretical approaches in this highly
speculative field”(Ohnemus 2024).

“A solid explanation for why God or whatever creating force gave us so many issues is
that, without problems life would be meaningless. And the worst occurrence for a
person would be death. And everyone dies. If death is immediately followed by
very gratifying individuation then all existence seems to be worth wild”(Ohnemus 2024).

Introduction
Theories are not facts. Differential equations are a common concept of
applied mathematics. Science is roughly derived from philosophy. Engineering is
roughly derived from science. The afterlife is worth researching. All research at
first may seem far-fetched. The Modeling Differential Equations will be especially
approximant in this highly theoretical investigation of the afterlife. "The Modeling
Differential Equations: (P)' = ~S. A derivative of philosophy is approximately
science. (S)' = ~E. A derivative of science is approximately engineering"(Ohnemus
2023). The Modeling Differential Equations are always rough. The Modeling
Differential Equations always approximate. In the case of this essay, science will be
derived from philosophy as well. Classics can be synonymous with philosophy that
has stood the test of time. Even though theology, religious studies, and classics may
11
not be conventional philosophy, they are all philosophical so they begin this series
of Modeling Differential Equations. After philosophy is analyzed thoroughly, its
derivation into science will be analyzed. Finally the science by itself will be
analyzed. No mechanism to observe the afterlife has been discovered or created
yet. Thus, the engineering variable may be unidentified.
In philosophical terms (classics, theology, philosophy, etc.) Jesus may have
been a gnostic. "When Jesus was accused of blasphemy on the grounds that 'thou,
being a man, makest thyself God,' He responded, echoing Psalms, 'Is it not written
in your law, I said, Ye are gods?'"(Church of Jesus Christ). Perhaps Mormonism is
highly influenced by gnosticism. Mormonism believes that humans can become
divine. Gnosticism believed and still believes that humans can become divine.
Gnosticism is older than Mormonism. The quotation of this essay came from the
Church of Jesus Christ. ‘Biblical texts that called mortals 'gods' attracted attention
from commentators and became the focus of ingenious interpretations and
exegetical principles’(NEYREY). The Bible has been interpreted many times. The
Bible perhaps is best interpreted as survival heuristics. A guide to life. Hence, one
is not sure of a literal interpretation. ‘The Gnostic Gospels: The 52 texts discovered
in Nag Hammadi, Egypt include ‘secret’ gospels poems and myths attributing to
Jesus sayings and beliefs which are very different from the New Testament. Scholar
Elaine Pagels explores these documents and their implications.’
Perhaps these books are truly by Jesus. No one will know. Perhaps a pattern
exists across Jesus' teachings that resemble gnosticism. Perhaps early Christians
12
had gnostic sects for good reasons. Perhaps the Mormons are so influential
because they are gnostics having been influenced by the interpretations of the
Bible that are the most parsimonious.
More philosophy will be added to the differential equations and in this case
existentialism by a Christian. ‘People can lose their authentic selves when they
don't honestly confront life's potential, according to the philosopher Soren
Kierkegaard’(Thomson 2021). Kierkegaard may have supported individuality for a
strong reason. Being existentialist and Christian is an uncommon but not impossible
combination. Some scholars argue that Kierkegaard was a proto-
existentialist. Either way, Kierkegaard can be considered an existentialist and was
the creator of that movement.
If humans are infinite then the afterlife is more likely. ‘According to Soren
Kierkegaard, we are each pulled in two directions: toward the 'finite' or the
'infinite.' When we lean too far in either direction, we risk living stagnant and
inauthentic lives. To be a human is to accept that we are both finite and infinite. We
must walk the middle bridge that lies between the two chasms that risk consuming
who we are’(Thomson 2021). Kierkegaard was Christian and existentialist.
Kierkegaard, by being an existentialist, paid special attention to existential
questions of humans. Maybe Kierkegaard was implying that human existence is
somehow infinite. Maybe the capacity for humans to be individuals makes them
more infinite than other animals. Many of those who deny the afterlife are also
determinists. In determinism humans lack free will. In compatibilism, free will and
13
determinism are a false dichotomy. Of course that is conventional wisdom. Some
choices in life are up to the individual. Other circumstances in life are not choices
at all.
Longer quotations must be used to provide the more complex, like identity
problems. ‘Leonard Peikoff and David Harriman have denounced modern physics
as incompatible with Objectivist metaphysics and epistemology. Physics, they say,
must return to a Newtonian viewpoint; much of relativity theory must go, along
with essentially all of quantum mechanics, string theory, and modern cosmology.
In their insistence on justifications in terms of 'physical nature,' they cling to a
macroscopic worldview that doesn't work in the high-velocity arena of relativity or
the subatomic level of quantum mechanics. It is suggested that the concept of
identity be widened to accommodate the probabilistic nature of quantum
phenomena’(Gibson 2013). Philosophy is love of wisdom in at least Ancient Greek.
If a philosophy no longer provides a guide to life then maybe it should change.
Ending the advances of physics would cause several issues. Perhaps technology
would decline. People must advance in standard living. Is to advance or at least sustain.
Macroscopic means visible to the naked
eye. Macro is an antonym to micro. Micro is too small for the naked eye. What is
high enough velocity is not macroscopic. What is subatomic is not macroscopic.
The concept of an identity must be widened. Relativity leads to advances. Quantum
mechanics leads to advancements. String theory is important for maintaining
civilization. Cosmology is important to life. New advances in science lead to new
14
advances in engineering. Engineering's advancements are much more palpable to
society than only science's. Because engineering is technology. Science is more
theoretical. Maybe widening the concept of identity will also raise the probability
of an afterlife. The law of identity is ‘: a statement of an identity is the expression
of an abstract relation of identity symbolized by a term (as A in ‘A is A’) that
apparently refers in its separate instances to the subject and predicate
respectively’(Merriam-Webster). The concept of an identity must be expanded.
The law of identity must be expanded. Civilizational sustainability now depends on
better interpreting physical phenomena. Before one can create a technology
(engineering) one must be able to model reality. Before one can model reality
(science) one must be able to guess well enough (philosophy).
What is the afterlife expected to be if anything at all.? ‘Reactions to claims of
near-death experiences (NDE) range from the popular view that this must be
evidence for life after death, to outright rejection of the experiences as, at best,
drug induced hallucinations or, at worse, pure invention.
Finding
Twenty years, and much research, later, it is clear that neither extreme is
correct’(Blackmore 1996). Dr. Blackmore ends her research stating that the
afterlife is an unknown phenomenon. Maybe there is an afterlife. Maybe there is no
afterlife. Engineering may be the final answer to the afterlife. The afterlife must be
realized as either a fallacy or a reality.
15
Entering autobiography, my views on the afterlife have evolved. When I was still very
Platonist my views on the afterlife were the following. ‘The Afterlife Idea
Realm Thesis: The afterlife is a realm only of ideas that manifests into the current life by
the simulation. And when people die they return to the realm of ideas. This thesis could be true
for the following reasons. Morality is objective. Humans lack free will. The simulation theory is
true. God is morality and therefore love itself.
God's language is science so humans struggle to act morally. Abstract ideas can
exist by themselves without an observer. The afterlife is proven or close to proven.
Dreaming is similar to death because the illusion of the self vanishes while one
dreams. So much of the world depends on the observer's brain to the extent that
neuroscientists believe reality is not real. Some claim with convincing evidence
that nature is so complex that a negative occurrence can become positive and vice
versa so, noting an occurrence as positive or negative is impossible according to
some. Arguably sometimes immoral behavior is justified because the ends might
validate the means, thus further supporting the case that the afterlife is a realm of
many conflicting ideas yet love is the guiding force. Also human run law is never
objective so, humans struggle with morality so, science may be the real source and
the guide is love. Multiple people will argue that each human individual must have
a dark side to succeed in an endeavor and lead to the greater good of society such
as societal progress. This thesis could prove that deism, atheism, and theism are a
three-way false dichotomy’(Ohnemus 2022). After careful consideration, this
thesis has come to be debunked and viewed as null of significance for the same
16
reason that Platonist philosophy is deemed impractical. Ideas being absolute are
often faulty. Many times rationalism leads people to have a certain view of a much
more complicated reality. If the support of a thesis is debunked then the argument
may need adjustment. A thesis is based on evidence. Morality is objective but
relative. Morality is derived from tradition, then risk analysis and then finally skin
in the game (in that sequence). Notions of moral absolutism often are a product of
authoritarianism. Plato's Theory of Forms was based on every object being a
representation of a greater abstract idea. The Theory of Forms not only leads to
authoritarianism, consequently oppression of the marginalized, but also
unrigorous ideas.
Humans are neither completely free nor completely determined. As
discussed previously in this essay, free will and determinism are a false dichotomy.
Of course some elements in life are not choices. Yet, without any free will, the
entire cognitive faculty of reason would be futile.
Humans have enough free will to reason. Anyone who argues against free
will and for determinism is using reason. Thus all arguments for determinism
without freewill are self defeating. The simulation theory is unlikely. The
Simulation Theory is not parsimonious. Several epistemological and ontological
explanations have more evidence than the simulation theory.
The Simulation Theory also is a very complicated explanation. Thus,by the
Principle of Parsimony, the Simulation Theory is unlikely. God may very well be
morality. Love probably does not exist by itself as an abstract idea. Maybe morality
17
does not either exist by itself but symmetry does. Therefore morality is relative but
NOT subjective. Morality depends on the current risks which change. Noting God's
language as science can lead to totalitarianism.
Scientists are not priests. Science is not a religion. Science is a list of claims
that exist and are made by imperfect individuals named scientists as they analyze
reality that no one understands completely. God's language may be well beyond
human reason. God's language, or at least what is practical, is more likely a
combination of common sense and empathy. Some claim the reason is the only
absolute. Abstract ideas may not exist outside of the human mind. But
consciousness may be eternal. The afterlife is proven so long as human
consciousness is correctly identified as eternal. If a human's consciousness
continues to exist past the destruction of that individual's corpse body then human
consciousness is more likely to be eternal. The expanding of identity in physics
may be the key to pointing out the continuation of human consciousness past an
individual's death and perhaps eternally. The self may continue well into the
afterlife. According to the Bible, individuation persists for eternity. Neuroscience is
not a rigorous enough science to claim that reality is an illusion. Most
parsimoniously, reality exists beyond only human perception. Reality is independent of
human perception. What someone wants to be true does not
necessarily become reality. Humans have survival instincts to at least note what is
in or against their interests. An individual human has survival instincts to that
person’s self of self interest.
18
However, life can be unpredictable. Thus, a tragedy an individual faces can
end up having a positive effect in that individual’s interests. Some moral questions
probably do not have a definitive answer. However, one can reasonably expect
ramifications when violating or supporting the interests of others. Tragedies occur.
Difficult moral trade offs occur. Therefore, if an afterlife is real then, under a just
system, that future life beyond the grave should be better than this current life.
Humans of course struggle with morality. Some moral dilemmas have no definitive
answer. Legal systems are never completely fair but should strive to be. Science is
not a good moral guidepost because such thinking has been the source of many
authoritarian regimes that ultimately harmed the common good. Life is messy.
Therefore, many humans understandably expect the next life to be perfect. People
who impose their own risks on others are not being fair. Nonconformists with less
empathy, than the typical members of a society, may be the most productive
contributors, but unsympathetic and anti-humanist acts tend to be the greatest
causes of harm and suffering. Minimizing suffering at least seems like the best
moral imperative. From my recent investigations into faith, gnosticism is the most
parsimonious. I consider myself a gnostic because I do not think individuation will
be lost upon death. Also, the universalist statement of us all going to heaven seems
the most reasonable at least to me.
Deep empathetic and philosophical inquiry will be utilized to explore this
quotation that represents a great shift in my attitude about morality and people
getting what they deserve. ‘Is morality only relative? The law is NOT objective.
19
Morality is based on popular opinion, force, power, and preservation. However, all
beings will enter heaven. Therefore, morality should be a posthumous Utopia. Or
radical a utopia could be created if the simulation is hacked into to eliminate all
suffering and to make every being part of the Utopia. The extreme utilitarian argument
includes all beings in the utopia.’(Ohnemus 2023). I have come to the
conclusion that morality is relative because risks change. However, morality is not
subjective. And human law of course is not objective. Natural law probably exists.
Morality ultimately is guided by precedents. The golden rule is guided by
precedents. If one commits a certain amoral act, then the consequences that were
supposed to discourage that immoral action, at least from an evolutionary
biological perspective, were fear that the exact same immoral act would negatively
affect said bad actor. Of course people are influenced by the emotions of their
surroundings.
Why one thinks something is moral often is a product of witnessing
neighbors. The most rigorous definition of rational is good for survival. What is
rational is what leads to survival. Other than that, rationality is hard to define.
Morality is rationality. So, if one acts in both a consequentialist and deontological
way, then that one is hopefully reaching morality. More palpable are the forces of
common sense and empathy during moral self examination. Both force and
preservation inform on what is to be avoided and what is to be maintained. So,
morality is not black and white. Morality is shades of gray. Assuming there is
justice in this universe then beings with limited free will, for example humans, will
20
go to heaven as the universalist statement goes. According to the universalist
statement. As much as one individual could harm another and raise animosity, all
humans only have limited free will. Therefore, all humans only have limited
reasoning and agency.
A solid explanation for why God or whatever creating force gave us so many
issues is that, without problems life would be meaningless. And the worst
occurrence for a person would be death. And everyone dies. If death is
immediately followed by very gratifying individuation then all existence seems to
be worth wild. Morality is a fuzzy guide that was created by God to guide the
human species. A fuzzy guide to get us to live a good life. All of the ten
commandments were created to give us good lives. All of the religions originate
from the golden rule or at least should. Moral dilemmas will occur in which
humans reveal their incomplete agency and maybe cause harm. Life has zero
specific purposes yet potentially some general ones. I no longer believe in the
Simulation Theory. The simulation theory is very unlikely. Moral plans to end
suffering by hacking the simulation are not practical because ontology and epistemology
are not explained by simulating. I was inspired to note morality as
relative but not subjective by this quote, ‘Morality is relative but not
subjective’(Bigthink 2012). God bless Big Think. May we all one day rest in peace.
This essay is not completely written in third person because it is a personal
reflection of sorts. Moving on to the last points of this essay.
How could one preview the afterlife? ‘WARNING: drugs are dangerous. To
21
preview the afterlife one must hack the simulation, therefore, the best option may
be to take psychedelics’(Ohnemus 2023). The simulation is implausible.
Previewing the afterlife should only be noted as exactly that, previewing the
afterlife, to avoid confusion. Psychedelics may be too dangerous. Psychedelics may
also be the most parsimonious way to preview the afterlife. A way that mitigates
risk would be the most effective way to preview the afterlife without dying.
More scientific theories of consciousness also exist. ‘A Super-Simple, Non-
Quantum Theory of Eternal Consciousness’ (Horgan 2018). According to the
Principle of Parsimony, out of two competing theories equally supported by
evidence, the more simple one is more likely correct. Thus, simple theories that
consciousness is eternal raise the odds that it is. The fact that I can reason by
writing this essay increases the odds that I am conscious. Scientific materialism,
thus, is a self defeating position because scientific materialists use their limited
free will to argue.
Out of body experiences even more weaken the self destructing position of
scientific materialism. ‘Out-of-body experiences (OBEs) are defined as experiences
in which a person seems to be awake and sees his body and the world from a
location outside his physical body. More precisely, they can be defined by the
presence of the following three phenomenological characteristics: (i)
disembodiment (location of the self outside one's body); (ii) the impression of seeing the
world from an elevated and distanced visuo-spatial perspective
(extracorporeal, but egocentric visuo-spatial perspective); and (iii) the impression
22
of seeing one's own body (autoscopy) from this perspective. OBEs have fascinated
mankind from time immemorial and are abundant in folklore, mythology, and
spiritual experiences of most ancient and modern societies. Here, we review some
of the classical precipitating factors of OBEs such as sleep, drug abuse, and general
anesthesia as well as their neurobiology and compare them with recent findings on
neurological and neurocognitive mechanisms of OBEs. The reviewed data suggest
that OBEs are due to functional disintegration of lower-level multisensory
processing and abnormal higher-level self-processing at the temporo-parietal
junction. We argue that the experimental investigation of the interactions between
these multisensory and cognitive mechanisms in OBEs and related illusions in
combination with neuroimaging and behavioral techniques might further our
understanding of the central mechanisms of corporal awareness and self-
consciousness much as previous research about the neural bases of complex body
part illusions such as phantom limbs has done"(Bünning et al. 2005). In some
contexts, gender specific language may be imperative for research goals. However,
the quotation will be interpreted as research applying to either gender. Gender
ethics are highly important. Out of Body Experiences are abbreviated as OBEs.
OBEs are important for understanding human knowledge and whether or not we
are in a material world. The afterlife seems more and more parsimonious of an
explanation considering that humans have partial free will from some source. And
if humans lack free will then the reasoning behind anything would not exist. This
essay could not be reasoned through. Nothing would make any sense. Nihilism
23
would become justified from an evolutionary biological perspective. Humans
would not be able to abstract.
Parsimoniously then, yes, humans existing outside their bodies is
reasonable. Assuming that humans conserve their individuation, observing the
world from an ethical egocentric perspective is parsimonious. OBE's support that
consciousness exists outside of bodies. If people can identify their individual
bodies while in OBEs then they are still individuals. OBEs form survival heuristics.
Survival HEURISTICs are exemplified by religion. Religion is meant to be
interpreted metaphorically. Science is supposed to be taken literally. Still, religion
offers philosophical components that can be derived into science. In order to
derive science from philosophy, the scientific method must be utilized. Examining
case by case situations is part of the scientific method. Sleep has similarities to
death (namely unconsciousness and psychedelic nature). Certain drug use and
death both contain psychedelic elements. Disintegration is an accurate descriptor
because bodies disintegrate upon death. Another phrase is decompose. The most
parsimonious explanation is that an afterlife is real. Other simpler theories,
perhaps with less evidence, also support the idea of an afterlife. This essay must
continue.
The universalist Christian explanation of the afterlife is morally supported
as well because all humans deserve to go to heaven in spite of their moral failings.
‘Humans are Condemned to be the Least Ethical Creatures. Humans are the only
animals to have free will yet, paradoxically, the empirically correct view of agency
24
is compatibilism because a percentage of categories in life are choices while others
are not. So, humans have partial free will. Plus, even more paradoxically, humans
did not choose their species, therefore, they have free will at no fault of their
own’(Ohnemus 2023). Humans have PARTIAL free will. Humans lack COMPLETE
free will. Humans did not choose to have free will in any quantity or percentage.
Humans only have partial moral agency depending on competency. An
incompetent person should not be prosecuted the same as a competent one.
Humans do not make their own brains. Humans are, therefore, condemned to be
the least ethical species. Humans are condemned to be the least ethical beings.
Thus, a fair God would offer his creations perfect and individual afterlifes.
Adding individuation, this theorem of applied Mathematics summarizes my
current belief of the afterlife. ‘Despite some Incorrectness and Low Practicality,
Plato's Theory of Forms Maybe the Most Plausible Afterlife (after some Dionysian
Modifications) Theorem’(Ohnemus 2023). Plausibility is the theorem. The theorem does
not claim surely that the afterlife is exactly as such. The theorem
only states what is the most plausible.
I definitely no longer believe in this hypothesis. ‘My hypothesis is that since
human bodies decompose and spread across the universe after death then dead
humans(if the soul and the body are the same) will find general relativity to be the
only accurate way to observe anything. Assuming that consciousness is the energy
within a human body then, that also leaves the body after death and then it may
spread across literally everywhere(the known universe, the possible multiverse,
25
and anywhere else that is possible) thus also making general relativity the most
useful theory for those who have died’(Ohnemus 2023). I know disavow this
theory. I completely disavow this theory. This theory is unfalsifiable. This theory is
incalculable. The human consciousness continues past the death of the human. The
consciousness is of the human individual. OBE experiences demonstrate that
human bodies are most parsimoniously carriers in eternal consciousness.
Conclusion
Instead of the Ohnemus Posthumous Hypothesis the Afterlife Individuation Theory
is more parsimonious. ‘The afterlife is the ultimate stage of individuation. One gets
whatever afterlife one wants yet it will only include that individual. The pronoun
we indicates all living beings. We are all in this world as lost souls with the
compatibility of free will and determinism. Some things in life are choices while
others are not. We have the fundamental decision to reason unless that goes
beyond one's level of competency’(Ohnemus 2023). We are all individuals.
Hopefully God is fair. Hopefully the afterlife is real. Hopefully the afterlife is not
fake. Hopefully all living things get a final destination of perfection and paradise.
Engineering may be the only way to know for sure if the afterlife is real and if so,
what it is exactly. ‘The Differential Equations of Advanced Conception: (S + P)' =
~(S + E) S: science P: philosophy E: engineering The derivative of science plus
philosophy equals approximately science plus engineering’(Ohnemus 2023). If we
add the science of the afterlife and the philosophy of the afterlife then the
26
approximate derivative may be the science of the afterlife plus the engineering of the
afterlife. In conclusion, probably no machine has been created to preview the afterlife. And if
one has, the probability of its accuracy may be null”(Ohnemus 2024).

Critical Rationalist Physics
““Criterion of falsifiability is synonymous with critical rationalism. ‘criterion of
falsifiability, in the philosophy of science, a standard of evaluation of putatively scientific
theories, according to which a theory is genuinely scientific only if it is possible in principle to
establish that it is false’(Britannica 2024).
Critical rationalism(falsifiability) matches the scientific while skeptical empiricism does
NOT. Thus, critical rationalism epistemologically maps physics more than skeptical empiricism
does. ‘He (Popper) rejects Hume’s psychological account of induction, specifically his theory of
belief formation by repetition’(Parusniková 2018). Hume excessively dismisses rationalism.
Specifically, Hume forgets the importance of identity, while excessively referencing repetition.
Popper, a self described critical rationalist, correctly moderates between the known and unknown
with his deductive reasoning. Fortunately, both Hume and Popper rejected inductive reasoning.
Objectivist epistemology correctly emphasizes the law of identity but continues inductive
reasoning. ‘Leonard Peikoff and David Harriman have denounced modern physics as
incompatible with Objectivist metaphysics and epistemology. Physics, they say, must return to a
Newtonian viewpoint; much of relativity theory must go, along with essentially all of quantum
mechanics, string theory, and modern cosmology. In their insistence on justifications in terms of
‘physical nature,’ they cling to a macroscopic worldview that doesn't work in the high-velocity
arena of relativity or the subatomic level of quantum mechanics. It is suggested that the concept
of identity be widened to accommodate the probabilistic nature of quantum phenomena’(Gibson
2013). Objectivism correctly notes reality exists. Rejecting scientific advancements lead to both
epistemological ignorance and stagnation. Science ONLY approximately derives from
29
philosophy. Science observes literally. Science can overlap with epistemology. But ethics are
philosophical. Scientism is the excessive reliance on science, which this essay will later cover
more explicitly. The Newtonian viewpoint was abandoned, on some level, out of practicality.
Relativity matters. Quantum mechanics also. String theory is a valuable attempt to merge
relativity with quantum mechanics. Modern cosmology is probably necessary for space
exploration. Not everything is macroscopic. Some of the most vital information is invisible to the
naked eye. The law of identity applies at any speed. The law of identity goes for any size. Only
viewing the macroscopic view would greatly hinder science. Adjusting the concept of identity
does NOT mean keeping the premises after contradictions. Rather, the law of identity applies to
non macroscopic views as well. The law of identity applies to quantum phenomena.
The law of identity deserves a formal definition. ‘a statement of an identity is the
expression of an abstract relation of identity symbolized by a term (as A in ‘A is A’) that
apparently refers in its separate instances to the subject and predicate
respectively’(Meeriam-Webster). A is A in relativity. A is A in quantum mechanics. A is A in
string theory. A is A in modern cosmology. A is A across all of modern physics and all
contradictions, at any speed and or size, warrants adjusting both premises and concepts.
Critical rationalism is self critically rationalist. Nominalism could be critical rationalism
without the self criticism because the former engages with less rationalism. ‘nominalism, in
philosophy, position taken in the dispute over universals—words that can be applied to
individual things having something in common—that flourished especially in late medieval
times’(Britannica 2018). Both critical rationalism and nominalism boil down to the most
fundamentals then the former slightly utilizes universals. Empiricism without any rationalism is
30
haphazard and mindless. While rationalism without any empiricism, abandons reality. Either
every entity is unique or too different to perfectly predict the future. One detail from the past
could have changed an outcome due to dimensionality. Thus, for rigorous physics, the law of
identity must apply at all levels to prevent contradictions and foster practicality.
Even if time is relative, each being across is unique.
If everything is unique then all scales apply.
All vibrations are also unique.
Every being across the cosmos is unique.
Even in Newtonian physics, contradictions ignore reality, thus preventing rigor. The law
of identity always applies. Misidentification is most obvious macroscopically.
Science cannot answer everything. ‘Scientism is Faith Theorem (group theory) Given that
the roots are humanism(faith that humans are ethical despite being the most unethical species),
induction(faith that because x is the case in particular situations then x is always the case), and
credentialism(OFTEN trusting in intellectuals whose end products are ideas thus without direct
enough consequences to encourage improvement)’(Ohnemus 2023).
Intimately ending contradictions may lead to completely understanding the
afterlife”(Ohnemus 2024).

“RESPECTFULLY, Quantum Entanglement ≠ Reincarnation
Quantum Entanglement does not offer enough reincarnation evidence. “Entanglement is
at the heart of quantum physics and future quantum technologies. Like other aspects of quantum
science, the phenomenon of entanglement reveals itself at very tiny, subatomic scales. When two
particles, such as a pair of photons or electrons, become entangled, they remain connected even
when separated by vast distances. In the same way that a ballet or tango emerges from individual
dancers, entanglement arises from the connection between particles. It is what scientists call an
emergent property”(Caltech). Science cannot explain all, at least not yet. PERHAPS engineering
can demonstrate what science has attempted to explain. Scientific theories must be falsifiable.
One cannot prove science. One can prove a scientific theory is wrong. A scientific theory MUST
be debunkable or it is metaphysics NOT science. The law of identity also applies to subatomic
scales. The law of identity also applies to photons. The law of identity also applies to electrons.
Science can be highly counterintuitive BUT, contradictions prompt adjusting both concepts and
premises. Parts, by definition, are NOT the same. Two beings can connect in some ways yet
separate IN OTHERS. The law of identity PROHIBITS contradictions. Ignoring reality does
NOT avoid consequences.
Quantum entanglement does NOT defeat these arguments against reincarnation:
1. Philosophy(Law of identity, Occram’s Razor(reincarnation is NOT the simplest
afterlife, abstract ideas are NOT eternal,or contradictions would not prompt adjusting both
concepts and premises (Plato’s Theory of Forms is TOO theoretical and not parsimonious. What
32
eternal ideas would guide the reincarnation process? Partial free will is self evident or the
fundamental choice to focus on life would not exist thus reason would be pointless. The self is
more likely eternal than abstract ideas are. Priori knowledge probably does not derive from past
lives because constructivism permits privilege heritability). Time MAY be an illusion but the
SELF is real.
2. Mathematics(Fractals; either everything is unique or too different to predict perfectly).
3. Statistics and Probability(Population growth, dimensionality indicates uniqueness,
difficulty predicting suggests either everything is unique or too different for perfect prediction).
4. Physics(the concept of identity, adjusted for modern physics, could adjust
premises(thus preventing confusing one particle for another) to end reincarnation belief).
5. Biology(Identity depending on sperm variation disputes people sharing spirits. Plus the
uniqueness of each being’s DNA).
6. History(reincarnation belief leads to social stratification thus, injustice, thereby
violating natural law, showcasing improbability AND danger).
2
7. Psychology(memory errors correlate with individuals believing they had past
lives)(Ohnemus 2024).
8. (SOLUTIONS, force whites to pay reparations and MAYBE distribute white
privilege). Sociology( unchecked white power spreading reincarnation(Ancient
WESTERN(Greek) Philosopher Plato’s “Noble” Lie may be why despite East Asian high
33
performance, SOME have counterintuitively bad memory, East Indian Caste system somewhat
derives from reincarnation belief).
9. ‘Progressivism rightfully did NOT emerge from the
10. Jews but, from North Western Europeans recognizing that under their continued
empire, proving
11. constructivism more so than hereditarianism, they would be subject to dysgenic
forces and then
12. become petty nationalists, and they have mysterious impulses to check their own
unchecked
13. power, as the most powerful group. As that was the case with the Mediterraneans.
Plus,
14. GENERALLY the highest IQ North Western Europeans are liberals and they
GENERALLY get
15. more progressive on race relations the more intelligent they become. ALL
DISPARITIES are the
16. fault of the North Western Europeans, thus the MOST ENLIGHTENED North
Western
3
17. European people should be cloned so they and their descendants can pay reparations.
And the
34
18. recessive privileges of being an Enlightened North Western European should
MAYBE be
19. distributed through genetically engineered somatic mutations’(Ohnemus
2024)”(Ohnemus 2024).

The PRP: Privileged Reformist Phenotype
“…Memon may symbolize everyone’s occasional impulse to be too nice. He had a chance to be
in the front of a high school key photo. Maybe he let Rachel in front of him because she made
him look taller. Rachel was and is shorter than Memnon. Anime eyes have an aesthetic appeal.
Probably because they are so expressive. Neon also has an aesthetic appeal.
Reform is fairer and more sustainable than revolution. Determinist metaphysics cause
hereditarianism. The precautionary principle should guide any genetic engineering. Simpler
surgery is less likely to backfire. ‘The Modeling Differential Equations: (P)' = ~S. A derivative
of philosophy is approximately science. (S)' = ~E. A derivative of science is approximately
engineering’(Ohnemus 2023).
As for philosophy, anti-deterministic metaphysics are conducive towards an open
society(Britannica 2024). Karl Popper envisioned as such, coupled with his falsifiability(science
must be falsifiable) was a rigorous epistemology. Hereditarianism has determinist metaphysics.
Hereditarianism also is unfalsifiable. Thereby, hereditarianism is authoritarian pseudo science.
‘DNA is SO unpredictable that they are either fractals or something less predictable, thus a gene
is never known to manifest into a trait, debunking hereditarianism and vindicating
CRT’(Ohnemus 2024).
38
Simpler surgery less likely goes awry thus, the precautionary principle DEFINITELY
applies to genetic engineering. ‘If Both the Traits and Genes Desired in Genetic Engineering Are
the More Recessive Ones Then Can the Operation Be Simplified to Somatic Mutations? How?
Why?’(Ohnemus 2024). Recessive traits include white privilege. Whites are indigenous to
nowhere. The whites have the most recessive genes. Both because they are the last derivative
race.
Simpler genetic modification also prevents revolutionary phenotypes, Gariépy is
controversial perhaps due to his political views from his determinist metaphysics. ‘The
Revolutionary Phenotype is a science book that brings us four billion years into the past, when
the first living molecules showed up on Planet Earth. Unlike what was previously thought, we
learn that DNA-based life did not emerge from random events in a primordial soup. Indeed, the
first molecules of DNA were fabricated by a previous life form. By describing the fascinating
events referred to as Phenotypic Revolutions, this book provides a dire warning to humanity: if
humans continue to play with their own genes, we will be the next life form to fall to our own
creation’( Gariépy 2018). Science must be falsifiable. Four billion years ago may not have
marked the first living Earthlings. Who knows DNA’s creator? Who knows what created human
life? No one probably will ever know for sure who created humans. History is a social science
and thus, not entirely falsifiable. Following the precautionary principle may be key to avoiding
some sort of doomsday.
‘Conservatives may have more kids but, liberals are more likely to use life extension and
to have increased socioeconomic status. Removing almost all doubt, the self-imposed
demographic decline of the North Western Europeans is an attempt to filter SO, only their
39
GENERALLY smartest remain. Progressivism rightfully did NOT emerge from the Jews but,
from North Western Europeans recognizing that under their continued empire, proving
constructivism more so than hereditarianism, they would be subject to dysgenic forces and then
become petty nationalists, and they have mysterious impulses to check their own unchecked
power, as the most powerful group. As that was the case with the Mediterraneans. Plus,
GENERALLY the highest IQ North Western Europeans are liberals and they GENERALLY get
more progressive on race relations the more intelligent they become. ALL DISPARITIES are the
fault of the North Western Europeans, thus the MOST ENLIGHTENED North Western
European people should be cloned so they and their descendants can pay reparations. And the
recessive privileges of being an Enlightened North Western European should MAYBE be
distributed through genetically engineered somatic mutations’(Ohnemus 2024).
Successful civil rights leaders with skin in the game(tangible enough results for trial and
error) are great consultants. ‘Anyone Who Suggests That Things Getting Worse Will Lead to
Revolt and Things Getting Better Has Never Studied History, Can’t Give One Example of This
Being True, and Is Merely Spouting Silly Leftist Platitudes’(Wise 2024). Timothy Jacob
Wise(more commonly known as Tim Wise) correctly evaluates. Tim Wise is a successful civil
rights leader. Tim Wise is a successful activist. Some, inappropriately, note Tim Wise as a great
replacement advocate.
‘Until the 20th century, most societies devoted about 1.5% of their GDP to social
spending, and generally much less than that. In the last 100 years, that’s changed: today the
current global median of social spending is 22% of GDP’(Pinker 2018).
40
‘ (group theory) A theorem which proves that, given that the fiscal is a derivative of the
social, fiscal inclination is often correlated with social inclination. An example would be the
coexistence and correlation of Wagner's Law with social liberalism. Whenever theory does not fit
with practice, a citable reason is entropy. ‘entropy , Measure of a system’s energy that is
unavailable for work, or of the degree of a system’s disorder’(Drake 2022). A disorder is why
something is more difficult to predict. A disorder is why the abstract does not match the
concrete. Entropy explains why this theory may not be accurate. When one behavioral category
derives from another(example fiscal from social) the integration may occur that would be a
correlation (of course less than one in many cases)’(Ohnemus 2022).
As the research shows, reformist phenotypes are more useful than revolutionary ones.
Also reform comes from anti determinism plus, effective progress”(Ohnemus 2024).
41
“A revolutionary phenotype is another species being delegated to reproducing its maker's
kind. Then the delegated reproducer MAY eventually overthrow their before mentioned creator.
Examples MAY be RNA overthrowing their maker proteins. Then DNA overthrowing their
maker RNA. We avoid them by NOT delegating our reproduction to another species ,and or
machine, and, more generally, using the precautionary principle. Simpler surgeries are less risky
than the more complex ones.
