Anyone who speaks in terms of an "end" goal is ignorant of the fact that the Universe must be relativistic and without a definable end goal, lest we wouldn't exist in any sense other than a prescripted recording. I've explained why numerous times in my archives.

You have no grounds to conclude that the universe is not prescripted. Our existence as prescripted entities would in no way negate our validity or our intrinsic value.

There are definitely reasons to believe that the universe actually is prescripted

How much time has passed from the perspectives of a single photon travelling outward from the moment of the Big Bang?

Answer: None our moment and the moment of the Big Bang are identical from that perspective.

I don't have time to watch those videos. But what they theorize is a circular argument. Yes an omniscient being which has a total ordering perspective, could see the Universe as prescripted.

But never we will have nor measure a totally ordered perspective. Because if we could, then we could not be inside the prescripted world.

@CoinCube, I disagree with the claim that top-down morass is a requirement for, or even a provably more, long-term competitive strategy. Go ahead and tie all your shoelaces together with your brethren.

I believe I showed mathematically that top-down control is a requirement to be competitive.

You showed that some partial top-down orders must exist. That doesn't prove that everything must be totally ordered.

I pointed out to you numerous times since then that a decentralized system can be composed of a plurality of top-down orders. Think fractals. The structure of top-down orders within partial orders is infinitely detailed zooming in and out of the fractal structure of containment.
