A Desalination Plant of Truth (or: why feelings, opinions and/or decisions are Saltwater)
Faith is the poetic fog rolling over the ocean of “What if?"
Lovely to gaze at, useless for drinking.
Computability?
That’s adesalination plant: a brutal, beautiful machine that strips the mysticism out of math and pumps out pure, drinkable logic like the Chinese room argument.
Church and Turing didn’t build a church. They built a plant—one that takes the endless, undrinkable "But what if the universe is code?" and distills it into:
  • Lambda calculus: The reverse osmosis of functions.
  • Turing machines: The pipes that don’t care if you believe in water pressure.
Result?
A glass of cold, hard proven—no miracles, just engineering.
Thirsty for answers? The tap’s over there. (And no, it doesn’t run on prayers like the failed experiments with respect to retrocausality!
