In this episode, a groundwork for the discussion of morality is made given the backdrop of what a person is and a soul is in the light of the Multiverse and Maximized Awesomeness. It was produced in the same week the news of the overturning of Roe v. Wade was leaked, so it addresses the issue of abortion explicitly.

What is the difference between the mind, the brain, the body, the person, the soul and the spirit? What does atemporality have to do with it? If we are in a Multiverse, then how does that affect our identity as persons? It's all packed into this one remarkable episode.

In this episode, James Carvin uses Maximized Awesomeology as a backdrop for considering what we are. We explore the mind body problem. Carvin argues that since abstract truth is not part of the physical world, it belongs to a category of mind that is independent of the brain or brain states. Moreover, the body and brain interact with truth. As such Mind contains a substance the brain does not contain - truth. Mind is associated with person, rather than body or brain.

Once it is established that the mind belongs to the person, rather than the brain or body, we will be in a better position to consider what the soul is in our next episode. With this firmly established we will be able to begin our exploration of how to maximize our personal awesomeness, maximize our own goodness, and reach our fullest potential in beauty.

This episode summarizes the thirteen episodes leading up to it in preparation for the discussion of Maximized Awesomeness versus Maximized Awfulness as computational patterns that exist in the subsets of information inherent in pure possibility. Whereas, Maximized Awesomeness exists if any form of evil is entirely illusory, Maximized Awfulness would require the existence of every form of good to be a reality, rather than an illusion, in order to truly destroy it. If it can't truly destroy what is good, then a concept of evil that is greater than what it allows by definition exists. The amount of good that Maximized Awfulness could allow would thus be limited to transient forms of good that lack the invincibility of higher possibilities in the subset of awesomeness that exist in the computational patterns of possibility. Therefore, Maximized Awfulness is defeated by Maximized Awesomeness, rendering it illusory at best, while Maximized Awfulness is incapable of annihilating Maximized Awesomeness even if it is real. Moreover, Max Awful must allow every manner of defeatable good to exist and also has no control over the realization of every manner of undefeatable good, since that also exists as a subset of possibility. The result is that in the selection of what would potentially be realized in the Universes caused by the computations of Maximized Evil, every manner of both defeatable and undefeatable good would come to exist. Never mind that there is no compelling reason for Maximized Awfulness to engage in its computations since evil serves no good purpose. The possibility of Maximized Awesomeness, containing compelling reasons, also has algorithms to defeat it in a computational quarantine, if not by utter annihilation, restraining it so that it only serves the fullness of good possibility.

In Episode 13, James Carvin points out that that there is no energy or matter required for the vast digital library described in Episode 12 to be made real. Nothingness requires no speed. All possibility is abstract truth, which in turn is information. If reality is information, is all possibility reality?

There are three big elephants in the room. If you want a free top hat, you'll have to be able to explain them. This episode introduces takes some bites out of the third elephant - the Self Understanding of Maximized Awesomeness.
