To All: More from my collection of random thoughts - perhaps a few of interest:
When I speak of myself I am simultaneously subject/ object - subject being "I" and object being the "self" I refer to. Ex: "I´m hungry." To assert "Nothing is certain" is as self-refuting as asserting "Language doesn´t exist." Reality that created the mind is by the mind created. Every attempt to deny a single truth evokes a single truth. Every attempt to deny a moral judgment evokes a moral judgment. We cannot see that which sees. Language is simultaneously subject and object, scratches and sounds, means and meanings. Richard Dawkins is a leading spokesperson of a purposeless existence and the meaninglessness of life. That we writes books filled with purpose and meaning is an irony that apparently escapes him. At the bottom of physics, the Uncertainty Principle. At the bottom of logic, the Incompleteness Theorem. We depend on others for being separate. We anticipate death, but when it happens we won´t know it. There´s nothing objective about the subject/object division. We divide experience, forget we´ve divided it, then forget we´ve forgotten it. To others you are just an experience. Idealism says "It´s all in the mind." So I ask the idealist, "What´s the mind in?" By giving up and letting go, DQ is free to explore to make things better. We see the world as we are educated to see it in order to survive in the group we depend on for survival. Some believe that the solution to racism is to treat people differently based on color. Values precede facts because values determine where to focus to uncover facts. All scientific knowledge is subjective knowledge because it´s based on experience. The toughest battle you will ever have is to be yourself against the demands of others to be like them or to do something for them.
