Hi John, I'll chat if you want. Yes, science and religion walk hand in hand. I would say that both are metaphysics, just to stay within the format of this particular forum. Both are dogmatic in expressing the "way things are, and the meaning of all". Of course religion is way ahead of science on the latter. Science is still stuck in some kind of objective reality, no esoterism there, no personal meaning beyond the endless deconstructionalism. The more we can subdivide and attribute to cause-effect, the more we claim to know. So, is knowing how a tree is put together more than knowing the tree? Don't think so, it is just a longer way of saying the same thing.
Art is an expression of DQ, just like words are; once expressed it is "static" and people can come and see it. But the process of expression, well, that is the interplay between DQ and sq! And, we are right in the very middle of it at every moment of every day. So, I will keep whipping a dead horse and say that Free-Will IS DQ in action, it is our very soul. Nobody will listen, but that will not get me off my horse. I guess the word is incorrigible. Giddey-up you damned beast... The exoteric is very static because of its very nature. Kill the exoteric, nurture the esoteric! Balance the SQ with DQ! Restore that balance that is rightfully yours! Don't let that little bit of knowledge rule the day! Break the rules, sieze the day! Don't follow the leader; don't lead the follower! Blah, blah, blah! Anybody listening???? Definitions are just agreements. Can't we just agree on DQ? Why are many so set on not agreeing on DQ? Geez, if we agree on DQ (define it), maybe we can construct a metaphysics. Otherwise we are just throwing pebbles into the pond and watching the ripples. Well, that is fun too. I have been skipping stones lately. I am sure that Platt is around, just not posting.
