As a process control engineer, I know about logic in motion. Sounds like Hegel was onto something. Sum up dialectical logic as "make good choices". It's not about the struggle, it's about applying the truth after the struggle to find it. Everyone has their own truth. It should never be one size fits all, but as the V-50 course 1a example of Galileo explains, we need a framework for our lens. Dr. Peterson agrees. So did our Framers. A logic based on nothing from nothing is not a satisfying solution when you know how complex life is. There may be something about time that we cannot yet fathom - a feedback mechanism. Somehow there's been intelligence with us all along, and by us, I mean it in the largest sense of a World Spirit. Bigger than humanity by far. This is why I was so struck by George Gilder's message about the idea preceding the material. It only makes sense for it to be that way. Since we have a large part in creating our own destiny, it begs the question if the ultimate goal is to pay it all back one day. Sum of all knowledge - game over, game begins again. Only those good choices made throughout the game will be part of that knowledge. We'd have to consider them good, or else we wouldn't be here to consider them at all. (Maybe I've seen too much Star Trek. Q whispering in Picard's ear.) Scott Adams is one of my favorite modern philosophers. George Gilder is still around, I think. Stephen C. Meyer, author of Darwin's Doubt is another. Intelligent design puts religion and science back into alignment instead of a competition, which I have always felt was the way to go. I just got on a side track research of the Knights Templar. Interesting to see the postulations that explain how they got called "heretics" - worshipers of Baphomet. There are plenty of ideas - torture being the easiest. I like the idea that they were keen on using Science©. Too much Dan Brown? At least I know how the Hagia Sophia got named now. mythologyexplained.com
