[Case] "In short this talk of inorganic matter having purpose and values strikes me as animism. Imbuing the mindless with mind and agency seem to me to be a regression in understanding not an advance."
[Ron] What I have learned is that we as human animals simplify our experience. I'm talking the limits of perception not so much probability. Probability is a function of the simplification process. Probability is formed from pre-conception, same with Possibility, the simplification process is symbolized in it's basic form the limit of the round. So the concepts "purpose" "meaning" "beginning", "end" are patterns of the simplification of perception. We can not think out side of this! But just knowing this is how our brain functions gives us an insight into our perception of accuracy (truth)when you get to Quantum theory or origins of the universe or where It is headed or who made it or you or why. Objective reality is ever changing and mostly impossible to fully percieve much less retain and still function. I have come to the conclusion that our awareness is limited just as much by our preconceptions as it is by our ability to perceive phenomena. moq_discuss mailing list Listinfo, Unsubscribing etc. http://lists.moqtalk.org/listinfo.cgi/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org Archives: http://lists.moqtalk.org/pipermail/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org/ http://moq.org.uk/pipermail/moq_discuss_archive/
