The real problem of the world today is that the ruling class are so focused on their pleasure that they fail to see the possibility of creating beautiful and meaningful W1 and W2 compositions inside and outside their bubbles. They do not bring into account the feelings of other sentient beings and judgement centers because they cannot see them. Their bubbles have become opaque from the explosion of light. Usually, the inner surface of the bubble should be semi-transparent (to the extent that other judgement centers outside can be partly seen) and semi-reflective (in a way that self-image can be seen). In a bubble that is exploding with light nothing can be seen on the inner surface. It temporarily erases all scenarios of past, present, and future from the inner surface of bubble.
The blindness of pleasure can be extremely costly. It will reduce their focus on L2 on the inner surface; it also reduces their focus on other judgement centers. Addictive pleasures blinds people to suffering of others (because they get drown in themselves). Not being able to see other judgement centers whose sizes are deļ¬ned by W2 mathematics, they can inflict pain to others.
However, when this blindness goes away even for a moment, they see the abyss inside others' bubbles and become self-destructive. Perceiving the ugliness of pain they have inflicted on others will haunt them.
That’s why adjustment of transparency of the bubble is very important for having empathy. Opposingly, If the bubble is filled with beautiful meaning instead of excessive addictive pleasure, the blindness will not occur, and the opacity of the bubble will not reduce. Other judgement centers can be brought into account because they are seen. However, the root cause of the problem of empathy is in the mathematics of evaluation of other judgement centers.
Nezman believes that this a historical destiny that the feeling of all sentient beings will be taken into account with a right mathematics.

Metaphor of the Self-Aware Robot
This metaphor compares the complex evolutionary and biological machineries of body, mind, and consciousness with the hardware, software, and hypothetically qualitative inner experiences of a robot.
This robot begins to wonder who he is and why he feels the way he feels. He asks many questions.
Who or what am I? Why am I the way I am? Why do my body, my thoughts, my beliefs, and my emotions change? Why do I want the things that I want? What do I have certain desires and preferences? What should I do? What is moral? What is good? Where am I? Who is my creator? And many other questions...
This hypothetical robot asks questions about 3 main topics of his own hardware, his own software, and his own feelings and qualitative experiences. To answer these questions he needs to understand all that exists out there in W1 (including his own W1 body), the working of W2, and the way W3 experience is created. This robot also faces other difficult questions.
How do fundamental laws of physics determine what I am now?
How did random events throughout evolution shape my ancestors to make me what I am today?
How do the thoughts of people who lived before me (and my culture) affect my software?
How much do indoctrination of parents and friends make me what I am today?
How much did I contribute to what I am today?
In the path of answering these questions the robot discovers how little control he has over how he feels today. He discovers that some deterministic processes have governed his hardware and software so far. In fact, he learns that he has inherited a unique hardware and software that inevitably give rise to the reality he lives in. However, the robot also realizes that if he gain control over his own software (and partly over his own hardware), he can control his own feelings and constructs.
Such an awareness leads him to recreate itself. He become a creature who wants to become the creator of the self and his own personal universe. He wants to break away from being a slave of his hardware and software and become the master and creator of his own personal constructs. Instead of being the slave of its original or acquired software, it rewrites its own codes. However, this self-discovery requires a lot of education, introspection, meditation, and imagination.
