Greetings Willblake2,

What do we know and how do we know it?

You are correct, scientist, philosopher and theologian want to answer these questions. The only concept I haven't been able to debunk is the Buddhist's Emptiness, and the MOQ reigns supreme because it includes emptiness as DQ. But I, like Don Quixote, find all these other concepts both noble and fearsome, heathens and wizards and serpents of sin!

I am I, Don Quixote,
The Lord of La Mancha,
My destiny calls and I go,
And the wild winds of fortune
Will carry me onward,
Oh whithersoever they blow.
Whithersoever they blow,
Onward to glory I go!

It is all interesting, and I too love thinking it through as best I can. For the moment I live on the Isle of the Blessed. But as I have been listening to all these lectures on the history of scientific theory (science wars) I am wondering how things would look in the modern times if Quality and the MOQ had their day in the sun. It is time...

Daffodils to you, Will.

Hi Marsha,

Actually it is my own closed minded opinion.  Stewart is just a
mathematician.  I don't see any difference between science,
philosophy, and religion.  They all try to construe reality
through labels.  We try to believe that those labels are real,
and somehow more than just nerve connections firing in patterns.
My mind is closed to thinking that perhaps all these labels
are very different from each other, and represent
alternatives.  My opinion is that they are all the same.  I don't
think I can label one as good and the other as bad.  I label them
as useful and enjoyable to me, or not.

It is fun, however, to create sides and argue the merits of one
over the other.  That is all that I am doing here.

Your posts are a joy in my day!

Greetings Will,

Oh right, that would be Ian Stewart's opinion. There are lots of
opinion. This is how the conflict is labeled, but my mind is open. Is yours?
