Famous David Sinclair Quotes

“Some people believe that explanations which do not involve matter are supernatural. In fact, material explanations are themselves supernatural. How can lifeless matter produce life? There’s nothing natural about that. How can mindless matter produce mind? What’s natural about that? How can temporal and contingent matter come into existence in the first place? You can’t get existence from non-existence. That’s logic 101.”

“There’s a simple reason why people don’t get involved with reason, logic and mathematics. They find these extremely difficult. There’s a simple reason why people get involved with faith, prayer, mysticism, meditation and mindfulness: they’re easy! Anyone can do them.”

“How would reality calculate the non-simplest answer without first calculating the simplest answer. Having calculated the simplest answer why would it then dismiss it? What would reality’s reason be for dismissing the simplest answer? No such reason is possible or conceivable. How would reality go about calculating the non-simplest answer, given that there are infinite of them? It is literally impossible for reality to calculate and implement anything other than the simplest answer. That is 100% guaranteed, and you are utterly irrational and illogical if you contend otherwise.”

“We don’t want half-truths, misinformation and a cute, dumbed down description of reality using cringy words. We want words we have never heard before. Give us cerebral explosions. Give us words that trigger nuclear reactions in the darkest places of our unconscious. We want the laser light of knowledge that removes all confusion, illusion and delusion. We welcome and embrace the pain of transcending our conditioned minds.”
