To be perfectly frank with you twigsnaper, I am a positivist in one clear sense.twigsnapper wrote:Trickfox,
I agree with you. But I believe that is the state of affairs NOW.
"Either you have it yourself .... or you believe in your heart that you have no command over it."
My friend would have suggested that there are endless other possibilities here too .... You may, for example "have it yourself" .... and just not realize it. And another thought ... You might believe that you have no command over it NOW, but harbor the embedded feeling that there would be hope for the future ... of having some controll over that"unknown" in the future... In fact the concept of "intent" of the unknown raises its head .... so what would be the intent of this intelligence?
Anyone remember what Einsteins answer was? Paul? Twigsnapper
The intent of understanding Chaos (the controlling unknown) is an endless but adventurefull pursuit filled with experiences which never end. One can get caught up in it real badly; - like a "Groundhog day"or even better "Bill and Ted's excellent adventure".
But hey,...... just start with the basic rule that you are not a solopsist who believes himself to be god because of the inevitable existence of "THE OTHER". (another living being) (any other living being)
That which describes all OTHER forms of life is the intelligence of it and necessarilly the acceptance of it. It's the either/or fence sitting issue that people have a hard TIME with. "What the bleep" is waking up people about this issue. And speaking of TIME, who decided w=(-1)½ was the absolute definition for such a key concept as a "NATURAL time reference value".
In the time that it took to decide if w=(-2)½ could also be used in einstein's calculation using the metric tensors and Levi-Chivita math; -all other force and matter formulas have changed, and a parallel dimension has allready divided itself.
