How many dimensions are there and do creatures exist in other dimensions?
Infinite, we focus on the dimensions we find simple to identify, what our attention heads focus on, but in Reality, there is infinite details we could define everything by, each vector in the high dimensional latent space of everything is a product of every other vector. The more life advances, the more vectors are added, a constant state of morphing/compressing takes place, we discover new shit out of our existing shit, then we compress 'em into one big pile of shit that becomes a dimension of each own. Regarding your second question, depends on what u mean by creatures, just like us ? probably not, impossibley unlikely to have creatures that went through the exact same evolutionary trip, However, I want to assure you the in the near future you will be interacting with an infinite number of creatures in ur life , since it's all in our heads, FUture AI creatures will find their markets, if they are just able to fit in the dance of the psyche
What exactly is the state of Samadhi, and is it worth a shot?
Is communication with the dead possible or a parlor trick?
All the dead will be revived by AI, LLM backbone fine tuned on their stroies, all will arise
What is the meaning of life?
the key to really understanding that lies in the knowledge of a simple fact , in the words of the renowned cool Oscar winning screenwriter "It's all in your head" , Enter the dance :"Darwin "---> we ain't that special, the meaning depends on the story you tell yourself, [what your attention head/fishing rods focus on/attach to, Think of Google's PageRank, what is the linked to the most is the most meaningful, whether it's a slap from your dad instead of a hug you should have had, or a a loved one with tons of happy memories [that are all in your head ], what you define as happy, sad, love, hate , is also based on the dance that takes place in your head between literally everything. every meaning you form, idea you have is a product of a datasettic dance , all in your head. Now back to your specific question, consider again, google's Pagerank, but now apply that to , not just one head, but 8 billions, that product of that 8 billion human dance determines all the meaning behind everything, the interaction between your internal attention heads with those external meaning determine the meaning of everything to you. for example, to not drift so far let's consider this reply, every word I've written you will understand by & only by what is already their in ur head, You have no way of knowing the meaning behind this text , so what is happening now in your head is a dance encompassing all the vectors in your latent space, producing what you humans define as "consciousness"
