SK,
Welcome! Nice job of jumping in . Any help at getting closer to DQ and The
Purpose Of The Universe (if there is one) are much appreciated. ( By the way
there was an award mentioned in my posting last week if you can get me to
understand what this purpose is!! :-)
You wrote:
<< " What is meant by 'purpose' in this context? To define Reality ('the
Universe') by its purpose is to subjugate it objectively, is it not? So it
seems to me.">>
I agree. I agree completely. My rambling response kind of ended with this same
concept.....defining the indefinite infinite is asking for limitations and
subjugation. Even if it can be defined this way, to do so would be to limit it
and misdefine it. The Tao that can be defined isn't the real Tao.
But I couldn't have said it better than you did in your ending:
<<"Defining phenomena by purpose seems to have high intellectual value, but I
am
not sure how the sum of phenomena (i.e. the Universe) is to be defined by
common purpose; except insofar as (we theorize) the Universe tends to move
toward DQ, but formally that is no definition at all!"
>>
Yes! I agree we should continue on with our intellectual pursuit, but any
definition on Purpose within a Dynamic Universe is no definition at all.
Thanks for the dialogue !
