Smartest Man in the World Shares What He Thinks Happens Upon Death

[FlyersFan]

Smartest man in the world, with IQ of 220, tells what he thinks happens upon death.
I guess he bases this on science and math ... dimensions and energy ... dunno ... 
He calls his theory - Cognitive-Theoretic Model of the Universe (CTMU)

I'll give a little of the quote, but go read the whole article.   Interesting ... 

Smartest Man In The World Shares What He Thinks Happens Upon Death

He believes that when we die, we transition from one form of being to another within the computational structure of reality, meaning the consciousness, or 'soul,' moves to another dimension or plane of existence we cannot access while alive. 

He said death is 'The termination of your relationship with your particular physical body that you have at this present time. When you are retracted from this reality, you go back up toward the origin of reality.
 Once you transition to this new plane of exitance, you might not even remember who you were before, Langan said. 
'You can have - these memories can be - nothing goes out of existence in the math.  'Your memories can always be pulled back out, but there's no reason to do that usually, OK?

The afterlife is something else entirely. It involves a profound shift in our entire being, moving the 'soul' or consciousness beyond the physical or mental self. 

There is a bunch more.  Gotta' read the article ... interesting theory.

He's saying we all go to heaven to be with God. 
He's saying we all go to a non corporeal place to rest.
He's saying we lose our individuality.
Nothing new there. 

I disagree when he says 'cannot access while alive' 
Plenty of people have had NDE's and astral projections and met with 'deceased' friends and relatives.  They can't all be making it up.

I agree, he’s saying what a lot of people already believe.

The fact that he’s “the smartest man in the world” doesn’t mean anything. And he’s just the person who has been tested to have the highest IQ. How many others may have a higher IQ, but have never been tested?

You die, you leave this corporeal body and move to the next plane of existence…
Then perhaps you continue your journey to somewhere else?

I don’t truly believe that IQ really equates to actual intelligence, some very high IQ people I have met are quite low functioning on a daily basis.

It’s interesting how he puts it together, but it’s really nothing new to me.

Good read nonetheless

I actually find it a bit sad that they must mention his IQ - it really says a lot about the primitive nature of humanity.

I also have a high IQ, but that doesn't mean you know everything, in fact, you will understand how little you know.

I normally don't mention my IQ because I really don't find it very important (unless it is the intelligence of our heart).


People also have to remember that there are many different types of IQ.

 
Anyway, back to what this topic really is about....

I do believe in the afterlife - I don't think we ever die - we just change form.

This isn't really a new concept.

Advaita Vedenta beat him to it. At least it sounds like pretty much the same thing... in a read between the lines type way.

Advaita Vedanta (/ʌdˈvaɪtə vɛˈdɑːntə/; Sanskrit: अद्वैत वेदान्त, IAST: Advaita Vedānta) is a Hindu tradition of textual exegesis and philosophy which states that jivatman, the individual experiencing self, is ultimately pure awareness mistakenly identified with body and the senses, and non-different ("na aparah") from Ātman-Brahman, the highest Self or Reality.

He's essentially a Hindu, he just puts the concepts in math terms.

Looking into him, Mensa doesn't acknowledge the IQ Test he took, and his IQ has been put in the 155 to 175 range. Which is still amazing.

To the panpsychism of his theory.

I'll give him up to a "Mandlebrot Set" type example, whereby a simply defined system can lead to infinite complexity.

What I can't do is connect our synaptic consciousness directly to a divine form... I'm like a Therevada Buddhist with impermanence, default hostility, and no divine self as "universal truths."

I can see an underlying allowance for information to be carried by animo acids and grow in disorder/complexity, but I think the infinite nature of God does not allow for specifics. It gives you the thermodynamic like properties and lets it organically compile itself.

Our consciousness is secondary to the mathematical codes and proofs that allow its existence.

Do we have direct access and connection to the infinite godhead? That's far too abstract in my mind. We could have access to a range of possible outcomes that God's program (of underlying principles) allows for. Maybe gleam the most probable outcomes in a glitch type of way. Intuit chaotic trends, which itself is nebulous to explain.

I see (The Godhead) as ambivalent and indifferent. Not of love, not of hate. The "divine ways" that we adopt, if not based on instinct, are survival mechanisms to juxtapose the overall somewhat cruel nature of it all.

And for fun....

Lol... I took the IQ Test that says, "If you answer 25 correct you have a 140 IQ." The one the article advertises 5 times.

This is the hardest question

Not kidding.

I don’t truly believe that IQ really equates to actual intelligence, 

I agree.
I didn't make up the title ... it's not my words ... it's the title of the article.
