If I believe in theology X then I'll need about half a ton of expensive hardware and many megawatt hours of electricity to mine even a few Bitcoins that I can use to buy stuff; but if I convert to "theology" Y then I can mine Bitcoins with no hardware at all and won't need one single watt of electricity. And as a bonus if I change the "theology" I believe in I will not only get rich I'll change the very laws of physics. And I wouldn't even have to go as far as to change my "religion", I could just change an assumption and a definition or two and presto change-o I'm more powerful then God. I conclude from your usage that I still don't know what "theology" means in Brunospeak and please don't crank out yet another definition of it because you've just given me an example and examples are far more powerful than definitions. But I have learned that whatever the meaning of that word is in Brunospeak it has absolutely nothing to do with the English meaning of the word, and the same holds true for "assumption" and "religion". > *> Why to make that assumption,* >>> >> >> What assumption? >> > *> That the God Matter is primitively real.* > The first problem is you don't know what the word "assumption" means in English. The second problem is I don't know what "God Matter" means in Brunospeak; for a while I thought I almost sorta understood what "primitively real" meant in your strange language but then from your usage it was obvious the meaning had mutated away once more to a unknown place, so now I'm back to square one.
