N Nicholas Thompson Emeritus Professor of Ethology and Psychology Clark University [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> https://wordpress.clarku.edu/nthompson/ From: Friam <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> On Behalf Of Gary Schiltz Sent: Wednesday, June 17, 2020 12:10 PM To: The Friday Morning Applied Complexity Coffee Group <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Subject: Re: [FRIAM] alternative response If I am honest, which I at least usually try to be, most beliefs that I have are only supported by the amount of effort I'm willing to put into the endeavor of supporting them. I can rationalize this by saying that nobody's brain, not even Einstein's, has (or had) the capacity to calculate and keep track of all the assumptions necessary to support our beliefs. I do believe this is true, even though it is more the result of my simply getting tired of or bored with trying to do so. Maybe this has a lot to do with why people have "faith", they just get tired of trying to figure it all out, and it is so much easier to accept what a large group of your peers tells you. I think true wisdom starts when one realizes those limitations.

Until you investigate the consequences of each you can't even know whether or not you are actually developing the same model ( like with the Church-Turing thesis). At the end of the day, deciding whether or not the universe is determined, indeterminate, random, etc.. is decidedly uninteresting. I try to hold 50 conflicting ontological commitments before breakfast. Alas, it appears that we have no interest in working with the commitments others make. In an effort to contribute to the banality I propose 2401 or perhaps whatever number you would construct the fifth time you follow Cantor's diagonal argument! -- Sent from: http://friam.471366.n2.nabble.com/ - .... . -..-. . -. -.. -..-. .. ... -..-. .... . .-. .
