THE WOVEN UNIVERSE #919 - RATIONAL OPTIMISM AND TIKANGA: ALL EVILS ARE SOLUBLE

The Frequency of Despair vs. The Principle of Optimism

In the Babylonian system, we are taught to accept "problems" as permanent features of life. We are told that some things are just broken, some people are just "bad", and some systems are simply destined to fail. This is the frequency of despair, a low-energy state that keeps us from seeking the "good explanations" that could set us free. But in the Woven Universe, we operate from a different premise, the Principle of Optimism.

In Research Report #253, we synthesise the work of quantum physicist David Deutsch with the foundational logic of Tikanga Māori. Deutsch famously states that "all evils are due to a lack of knowledge." In this context, "evil" isn't just a moral choice, it is any problem, conflict, or stagnation that causes suffering. If every problem is just a lack of knowledge, then every problem has a solution. We just haven't "woven" the right explanation into our reality yet.

Tikanga as Error-Correction

We often think of Tikanga as a static set of rules from the past, but it is actually a highly advanced system of multiversal error-correction. The word "Tika" means to be right, straight, or direct. When we practice Tikanga, we are applying the "Right Way" to untangle the knots (evils) in our reality.
