This will be my last post here:
LC, you are not including opportunity value. That is not how to look at it.
LC, You understand relativity, persective and illusion more than most. I could be dead wrong about everything I have posted, but in the world of science there are a lot more failures than successes, and so we enter "the clashing of the minds" which Plato called the highedst behavior of the human being. I have to have the environment to live.
I love it when EC, LC and GIB toss me something I have to struggle with.
One and never let the defeat fo an ide stop them, they march on, no matter what, as the compuslion to find the holy grail of truth is too powerful.
As I have stated many times learning how to play wts is like learning poker, existentialism, quantum mechanics and phenomonoly, and mathematics and is a matter of developing: THE KNOWLEDGE DIRECTED PERCEPTION.
The largest realities, like reality isself are also the most difficulat to understand, but certainly the most rewarding. The universe of ideas are complicated, but necessary to asophistcated view of reality.
Quantum physics is the most complicted knowledge known to man. In fact it is so complecated Neils Bohr insisted we couldl only call quantum behavior "a phomonen". He drove Shrodengir nuts with his insistan arguments.
Most people prefer to dumb down reality to religion and Nascar, mores and norms and consequently end up living in a world of fantacy and illusion.
All my life my peers and culture has put pressure on me to dunmb down my existance, or spin my bliefs so people are comfortable. I ma too old for that now.
Reality of our existance is really the only true gratification a thinking person can take away from their existence in this universe.
Just as I have spent my life working on my Karma, so have I tried to live my life honestly and with as much intellectual sophistication as possible.
I have to constanly be in an environment where my reach exceeds my grasp.
You are a wonderful group of very intelligent and civil people here, and I will miss you greatly, but I will move on now to try and find a thread where people will not be afraid to work at understanding those things which are difficulat.
The more complexity one understands, the more perception one has and the closer they get to understanding the mind of god as Einstein once said.
Adios my amigos and I wish you all well. |
