Howdy all,
I have three guesses about my previous post:
A:
1) Nobody read it.
2) Everybody read it.
3) Some people read it, some people didn't.
&
B:
1) Everybody who read it thinks I'm an illogical nut.
2) Everybody who read it thinks it's peachy keen.
3) Everybody who read it didn't understand it because I didn't explain it
well enough.
I'll assume it's #3A and maybe #1,3B and go on.
Faith another word for SQ.
Faith is another word for assumption.
Logic has its roots in faith (SQ).
Religion has its roots in faith (SQ).
Imagine this picture:
Person A assumes: I believe in an all-powerful God who randomly decided to
create me and is going to make a little happy land for me when I die. God
runs the universe.
Person B assumes: Everything is based on logic. Logic is right. Logic runs
the universe.
Person A is going to say, NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS, that God did it.
Person B is going to say, NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS, that Logic did it.
Can't you guys see the similarities? Aren't they equally absurd?
BTW: "absurd" = logical flaw within the Classical Reasoning
a.k.a. contradictory, circular, FEELING
What if BOTH AND NEITHER beliefs are Good?
It just depends on where you stand.
Schrodinger's cat. (I can't spell. So shoot me. I'm a mathman.)
Quantum theory.
free will/determinism
empiricism/in-your-head-ism
God/No God
Yes/No
Don't these ALL look contradictory?
What if EVERYTHING IS BASED IN CONTRADICTIONS?
What if EVERYTHING IS BASED IN FEELINGS AND QUALITY?
SQ is a concrete feeling.
DQ is a wishy-washy feeling.
Our SQ is a mountain.
Which foundations are we going to keep?
Which will stand up to the forces of DQ?
Sincerely,
MJC
