A universe in motion, like ours, contains no final answers or states.
It contains, instead, evolving answers and states. — ucarr
You have stated a great deal, but is your OP mainly about the statements made? Is your goal to get readers to consider the validity of the statements you make? or do you want specific responses to such as: — universeness

The fact that we don't know the value of the speed of light or the value of Pi to the nth decimal place does not mean that such does not exist, but what gap are you suggesting this creates? and what are you suggesting that gap should be filled with? — universeness
The fact that we don't know the value of the speed of light or the value of Pi to the nth decimal place does not mean that such does not exist... — universeness
Exactly what the hell are you talking about? — Teller
I cite your above quote as authority for claiming mystically real things as being extant things as opposed to being speculations. — ucarr

:halo: This OP, for me now just reduces, under cooking, to another 'god of the gaps' proposal. — universeness
"Any gap, science is currently unable to fill with an empirically provable natural explanation, is defibrillation, for the existence of god/a supernatural with intent." — universeness
The cycle between psychedelic and non-psychedelic modes are characterized by an increase and decrease in people's conceptual, perceptual and emotional latent inhibition. Once the latent inhibition allows us to see the roughness/curviness of the edges of our concepts/percepts/emotions, the boundaries fall apart; panic and chaos ensues. We eventually find our solace and joy in acceptance of the destruction of the logical; we find calmness in realizing the paralogicality at the bottom of everything... — Ø implies everything
Picking one example, I say we don't customarily measure the volume (as distinguished from intensity) of our emotional states. Nonetheless we regard them as indisputably real. For this reason, the robust discreteness of scientific truth does not cover the entire spectrum of essential human experience. — ucarr
Perhaps periods of time in an emotional state are more reasonably understood as events than as things? I'd say that from such a perspective our inability to discuss the volume of an emotional state becomes a non-issue — wonderer1
...apropos to discussing events, the duration of time spent in an emotional state is a meaningful measure. — wonderer1
You imply events are not things. Why aren't they? — ucarr
...distinguishing things and events as different ontological categories is extremely valuable... — wonderer1
My bifurcation of rectilinear/curvilinear, an essential motif of my thesis, doesn't take aim at filling scientific hiccups with claims unsupportable by reason. Instead, it aims to assess historical cycles of emphases leaning towards one or the other side of the bifurcation. I do this in order to argue that the new explosion of post-natal gender ID possibilities, curvilinear, characterizes the next phase of free love. — ucarr
Our language allows "the" to modify "event," thus indicating the latter is a noun i.e., a thing. Does this syntax present a fallacy? — ucarr
Rather wooish of that article to treat the superficial similarity between inflated/stretched matter and biologically grown brains as more than the superficial similarity that it is.
Given the speed of light, the cosmos would make for an awfully slow working brain. — wonderer1
Get involved in philosophical discussions about knowledge, truth, language, consciousness, science, politics, religion, logic and mathematics, art, history, and lots more. No ads, no clutter, and very little agreement — just fascinating conversations.
