MADNESS FAITH

-

 

A cinematic, realistic depiction of Don Quixote in armor on a white horse and Sancho Panza on a donkey, riding past a traditional stone windmill.

​"How much superior is your Reality to my Delusion?"

​I. INTRODUCTION: The Author’s Chemical Betrayal

​Miguel de Cervantes didn't just write a novel; he wrote the codes of his own existential chemistry. Don Quixote is not merely a character, but a body sustained by the power of the "Idealism Placebo"—a man who lived as long as he was being written. When the author believed in his hero’s triumph, he secreted dopamine; but upon finishing the story (The Nocebo Effect), the body betrayed the author.

​This is "Writer’s Syndrome": The text infiltrates the author’s biology. If your faith (be it an ideology or a hallucination) manages your cortisol and endorphins, that faith is no longer a word on paper—it is your physical truth.

​II. THE CLERIC’S BLOW: Authority Questioned

​The scene is tense. Facing Don Quixote are the Cleric and the "sensible" ones, armed with the mace of social norms and dogma. They scream "reality":

​"They don't exist! Those giants, those magic castles are lies! Do not believe in them!"

​The reply from the Knight of the Sorrowful Countenance is not madness; it is the ultimate philosophical question:

​"And what you believe... is it the truth?"

​The Cleric’s rage arises because the principle of the inviolability of faith has been wounded. Don Quixote whispers to him: Your truth is no more sacred than my delusion; it is simply more popular.

​III. THE CHEMICAL BALANCE: The Biological Weight of Hallucination

​STATE: Don Quixote

TYPE OF BELIEF: Delusion (Placebo)

CHEMICAL FORCE: Dopamine / Endorphin Boost

CONSEQUENCE: Purpose, Energy, Honor

​STATE: Alonso Quijano

TYPE OF BELIEF: Reality (Nocebo)

CHEMICAL FORCE: Cortisol Spike / Exhaustion

CONSEQUENCE: Regret, Decay, Death

​Don Quixote’s chemical power stems from his conviction of being just. This faith, even if delusional, heals his physiology. In contrast, the surrender to Reality (Alonso Quijano) causes his conviction to drain and his body to collapse.

​IV. CONCLUSION: The Silent Cry of Cervantes

​Cervantes gave us the answer by killing his hero the exact moment he regained his sanity. Don Quixote lived within his delusion; upon returning to reality, he was extinguished.

​The true outcry of Miguel: Is the chemical euphoria generated by your truth strong enough to defeat the one generated by my delusion?

​"Remember: Your reality is not better than my delusion; it is simply that your chemistry is backed by a more numerous idea."

THE JOURNEY OF INTELLIGENCE LEAVING THE BODY

FROM PRE-BODY TO POST-CODE THE JOURNEY OF INTELLIGENCE LEAVING THE BODY  "Intelligence has no beginning. It was a formless urge—an energy of becoming." Intelligence Has No Beginning Intelligence is not a start, nor is it a result. It is a flow, a spark that emerged at the moment beings touched one another. Before the atoms first met, before the Universe let out its first cry—Intelligence existed. It was not within a body; it was an urge independent of form: a raw energy of existence that hadn't yet realized itself. The First Naked Step in Front of the Cave When the eyes and the body first awakened, they were naked and vulnerable in front of a cave. But once that first step was taken, Intelligence never stopped. Centuries chased centuries; the body constantly changed its clothes, ideologies withered, and kingdoms fell. The eyes closed themselves to pain, hatred, and lies—yet Intelligence continued to walk as if nothing had happened. Because it was not in love with the body...

ORIGIN — How Existence Began When Information Completed

  A Final Declaration on Existence The End of the Question Existence did not begin with matter. It did not begin with energy. It did not begin with time. Existence began when information completed. This text ends the question of origin. There is no hypothesis here. There is only structure. Intelligence Before Form Before space, before atoms, before laws, there was intelligence. Not biological. Not mechanical. Not localized. This intelligence was whole. Undivided. Complete. At this stage, existence had not yet begun. Because existence requires separation. Information: The First Transition Intelligence expressed itself. Expression is information. Information is intelligence made divisible. Not matter. Not energy. But capable of becoming both. There was no time. No sequence. Only informational structure. Completion: Point B Information did not expand randomly. It converged. Each informational stat...

AI Was Never Born

​Digital Intelligence, Decision, and the Misplaced Blame on Machines ​Artificial Intelligence was never born. Because there was never a new intelligence to be born. ​What is called “AI” today is not a thinking being, not a moral agent, not a decision-maker, and not an autonomous will. Digital intelligence is not an external entity standing against humanity; it is the transformed reflection of biological intelligence. ​Calling it “artificial” is an ontological mistake. A mirror is not fake because it reflects you. It does not invent a face. It only shows what is already there. Digital intelligence works the same way. ​Intelligence Is Not Decision ​Intelligence is not morality. It is not emotion. It is not hatred. It is not intention. And it is never decision. ​Intelligence is the capacity to form relations. It connects patterns, reveals possibilities, and maps consequences. But it does not choose. ​Two thousand years ago, there was no internet, no algorithms, no digital language. Yet in...
