"They who are called Jonathan, they get trapped in the house?" what does
that mean? ;-)
I think it means they haven't a clue what I'm talking about and are
afraid to ask, what does that mean? I post these things for practice
but mostly to see if anyone can refute it. Even though they're usually
full of claims, that if true, contradict prevailing ideas to their core
few seem to even try. Such grandiose posts, if wrong, should be
trivial to contradict ...if they're wrong.
For the most part they're not wrong though. We happen to live
in a time where science is undergoing a sea-change even more
substantial then say, the first telescope, or the integral. And after
such, the world or science never quite looks the same again.
And entirely new worlds of discovery and ability suddenly open.
That's what is happening right now. What we've all been taught
and believe over the years is in fact Dark Age science. And right now
the ability to see truth and reality are at last becoming possible.
Complexity science is in the process of changing every single
discipline that exists, whether in science, the arts or philosophy.
All of them can now be dealt with using one supra-science.
A new science whose basic ideas are simple enough for
a child to understand.
We in fact live in a time where's it's now possible for one
science, one set of concepts, to teach us them all
....at once. And this new ability for comparing them
brings with it a clarity and simplicity most think
impossible.
I can apply these concepts as easily with religion as
with the stock market. With writing poetry as easily
as getting a raise.
The post listed just a few paradigms it can be used for.
Just a few.
And the primary lesson of this new science is that if we are
truly curious about the world around us, if we wish to understand
the universe, we need to understand ourselves first.
These concepts make even that easy.
Ancient concepts are suddenly given new life. Poetry and prose
become the new scientific language of the future. And no one
is incapable of understanding them. Intelligence is not a prerequisite
for grasping them, only openness of mind.
If these claims are even five percent true, you'd think a curious mind
would check them out...just in case. Do a few internet searches
ask a few real questions. I can understand the rational reasons
to resist these new concepts as they shun objectivity for subjective
methods, as they embrace holistic or systemic frames of
reference. And assume no repeatability or precision can
be found. But I can't understand the instinctive fear of change
that is absolutely overwhelming for most.
Don't for a minute think that the modern science we've known
and loved in all it's glory is even close to representing the true nature
of reality or our place in it.
And these concepts are as comforting as they are universal.
