Atually I don't care a wit about being wrong and am not at all stubborn. Those are just my ideas. I don't have any other feelings about them. If others disagree, so be it. Science says we evolved from furry little animals 60,000,000 years ago. Darwin was the first to explain how it happened. The religious community takes about the "order" of things and why there must be a god. But there is not order at all. Take nature, which looks like order, but is actually "balance". Balance of nature. Balance is much different that order. I can understand your doubting me when I say existentialism si something one can learn to see after many years of learning. Same with Zen. Sort of makes no sense and is hard to believe. The likes of Ospensky and Gurdjieff recognized the perception of seeing. Sort of like another dimension, but really jsut abstract thinking. Many of the great thinkers talk about it. Where we are superior to computers. But I spent my life searching for an understanding. Had no idea where it would take me. But I jsut kept reading and reading until images I never understood before started to form in my minds eye. There are five big ideas, IMO: existentialism, Zen, evolution, quantum physics and relativity. Ironically, existentialism and Zen are the most difficult comprehend. IMO, just my opion. People can take it or leave it. Means nothing really. <<I don't really care about your resume portfolio. That doesn't bonafide your thinking. You don't like being wrong, probably as stubborn as me. Socrates would play us like a fiddle. But please, science is about describing objective repeatable phenomeon. Existentialism is about one's own life. Trees are green, but they aren't grass, OK?>>
