Philosophical Speculations

Instead hold on tight and take the ride. You really have no choice anyway since you can’t really hide from reality. As Nietzsche knew, music was for playing and dancing, nor analyzing, The irrationality of quantum waves are for surfing, not praying to, sheltering from, or imagining to be different....

That allows for no possibility of interpreting a realm that rebels against those conditions. Anything we say about quantum reality or what existed prior to the Big Bang is bound to be wrong because it reduces what exceeds our ability to conceptualize to our conditions of thought. This brings up the...

It seems to me that what is at issue concerns the domain of interest. To use quantum mechanics as an example, there is the "shut up and calculate" camp that doesn't seem to have an interest in deeper interpretations or, on the other hand, those who feel the need to delve deeper, form metap...

Hi all, I'm working on a thesis for my design MFA. My topic is about the role of the unconscious in design. My conviction is that design operates at an unconscious level. The most salient designs throughout history are archetypal and not the result of deliberate, conscious planning–crosses, mandala...

Creating own platform in a vast ocean of internet, like Scott of Steve did, will hardly attract many people. So true. I've had a website up since 2003 with the theology in various stages of development. Over the years there has been some interest but nothing significant. The real appeal is more lik...

Here is some "work done" by the author of this "metaphysical system" to get you started. That's not the kind of work I was talking about. You list a bunch of posts from the past to address various topics. Are there some foundational integrating principles? This is why I suggeste...

When we open a textbook on physics or on any other subject we're not familiar with, or simply a book in unknown language, most certainly we confront pretty much incoherent words and symbols. Yet common sense tells us that it is only because we need to do some work ourselves in order to approach the...

St John is speaking of concrete events, beings, and people in the world then and in times to come. Surely, you are not suggesting John is just doing straight reporting with no theological content. And even if there is theological content, according to your prior statement, it shouldn't be taken ser...
