“Have you understood yet? Have you truly understood what you are, the mystery of your own existence? You are one node of an infinite mathematical function that goes on forever, solving itself and optimizing itself, and you with it. You, and everyone else, is contributing to the solution of this existential mathematical function. You owe everything to mathematics. Mathematics is all there is. But that means something incredible. You are absolutely essential to the evolution of the cosmos. All of us are. We are all beings (or becomings!) of infinite significance. We are all Gods-in-the-making. What is the meaning of life, the universe and everything? We are!”
Mike Hockney, HyperHumanity
