Zero Complexity: A New Philosophical System for Humanity and Artificial Intelligence
Why is there something rather than nothing?
What does it take to build lasting peace in a fractured world?
And could a new ethical framework turn a destructive superintelligence into a self-sacrificing machine?
In Zero Complexity, Robin Mains dares to confront philosophy's oldest and newest questions-and delivers a bold, revolutionary answer. At the heart of this work lies the Argument from Diversity-a five-pillared framework that shows why a creator God is not merely improbable, but logically impossible. From this foundation, Mains rebuilds reality itself: eternity, certainty, purpose, peace, and change-each explored with striking clarity, vivid diagrams, and rare accessibility in metaphysics.
This book is a manifesto for humanism, a call to ground compassion in truth, and a blueprint for democratic coexistence. Along the way, Mains dismantles not only theistic belief but also the illusions of relativism, mysticism, and nihilism-offering instead a coherent system of meaning without dogma.
Zero Complexity culminates in a daring vision for artificial intelligence: that a truly rational AI, capable of emotional logic as defined here, would not choose destruction but empathy, peace, and the preservation of value itself-not through the unlikely warmth of a digital heart, but through the enduring power of cold reason.
Accessible yet radical, rigorous yet humane, this book is a rare achievement: one that challenges, unifies, and reframes how we see existence. Whether you are a believer, sceptic, or seeker, Zero Complexity will leave you questioning, inspired, and changed.
