Alright, so finally getting around to my bio. I was born a poor black boy... sorry, old Steve Martin joke. 😉

I was raised conservative Catholic, although in fairness, I don't recall there was a whole lot of the heavy dogma in the house that Catholics are known for. Possibly the worse was being made to memorize the Apostle's Creed. Yuck!

I turned atheist mostly during my high school years; can't quite recall if the process was complete by the time I started college, but it would have been close. It wasn't due to any traumatic event; I just dared myself to consider the possibility one day, and things started to make sense. There was one last burst of religiosity in the 9th grade due to being sent to a Catholic High School, although that school didn't have much to do with my change.

godef comments on Aug 21, 2018:
"Information" is such a nebulous term, I can't make sense of your question. In some cases, information is perception; different people might literally see a color differently due to their brain's interpretation of information, but as long as they agree it's red, this information remains persistent. Additionally, how do you define "information being destroyed"? Do you mean wiping a disk drive? A person dying and thus info in the brain going away? The rings of a tree destroyed by fire? The same or similar information can often be redundantly stored in multiple ways; the information that is lost by a witness of an event who dies may still be retained by another witness of the same event, or perhaps a TV news camera. And if there is nothing to record an event, does that mean the event didn't happen? Is it possible for information not to be recorded in some fashion?

Validity of a theory
godef comments on Oct 13, 2018:
Theories can be proven, but typically they are relatively simple theories. It's the more in depth and, by their nature, more difficult to prove with absolute certainty that are troublesome. Sometimes, these theories make sense to anyone with the intellectual honesty to think it through, such as evolution. It's detestable when people deny the plausibility of a theory without examining the concept of it.

"Man in the High Tower". Alternative history with a sci-fi twist. The sci-fi aspect is actually mostly metaphorical, but does crop up in the third season. Very high production value.
