Is there a name for the doctrine which claims that all religions are epistemically/veridically disjunct from each other? — Hallucinogen

1. Any exemplar, reliable scientific studies you know of that claim this as fact? — universeness

Kazantzakis — javi2541997

I’m angry at stupidity because it leads to ignorance and ignorance leads to evil. — invicta

There are those" seems to be covertly pointing at yours truly.
— Gnomon

Indeed.

Nowhere have I accused you of new ageism, nor of "science bashing"

The most I have "accused" (your word) you of is not being able to either follow or present a clear argument.

Despite the faux footnotes. — Banno

The mind is its own place and in it self can make a Heav’n of Hell, a Hell of Heav’n. — John Milton, Paradise Lost

The inhabitants of the earth are of two sorts: those with brains, but no religion, and those with religion, but no brains. — Abu al-Ala al-Ma'arri, pessimistic freethinker, d.1057 CE

Cooperation being a stepping stone to a goal (wellbeing or flourishing), not the goal itself. — Tom Storm

... how the idea that morality is about solving cooperative problems can actually help in addressing the moral case for supporting or denying support to the Ukrainians against the Russians. — neomac

Your ideal of well-informed, rational people with shared goals and ideas is nowhere to be found. — Fooloso4

What is the relationship between morality and cooperative strategies? They are not, as you assume, one and the same. Cooperative strategies to achieve immoral goals are immoral cooperative strategies.

Deontology is not "the traditional perspective" but one traditional perspective. There are others. — Fooloso4

Currently not understanding exactly how matter and energy interact to create a subjective experience does not negate the observed fact that matter and energy can interact to make a subjective experience. — Philosophim

The apex of creation was followed by “evolutionary scale” if you two bothered to read that paragraph properly. No theological assumptions granted there. — invicta

The constants of nature are ratios or balances. So they are “fundamental numbers” that emerge from processes in opposition.

The take home is that physics sounds reductionist to most ears, but it is actually structuralist in its metaphysics.

Reality is neither fundsmentally classical, nor even quantum. These are just the two matched limit state descriptions ... — apokrisis

... the role of man as the apex of creation ... — invicta

I think humans are clever animals who use language to manage their environment. I see no reason to theologize humans or utilize categories like 'apex of creation...' — Tom Storm

We don't have an "animalistic side" -- we are all animal--animals descended from animals.

Our best selves may have flourished when we were wandering hunter-gatherers. Being civilized for several thousand years doesn't seem to have civilized us all that much. — BC

Are you saying that these are examples of the 'ruses or delusions' by which humans deny their own inevitable decay? — Wayfarer

... my use of [Buddhist ideas] as a metaphor from outside of the scientific worldview (re: entropy)? — 180 Proof

To what end, though? — Wayfarer

All you're saying wisdom consists of is resigning yourself to the inevitable natural fact of death and decay, isn't it?

... striving to reduce foolery (& stupidity) seeks to align expectations with reality as an adaptive habit ... — 180 Proof

... as to man’s nature are we inherently bad or good ? Or perhaps we are both ? — invicta

Would you consider the possibility that this 'inherent disorder' is what is designated by 'avidya' (ignorance) in Buddhist and Hindu philosophy? — Wayfarer

And that in those schools of traditional philosophy, it is precisely detachment from the imperatives of nature that provides the pathway to liberation (mokṣa, Nirvāṇa)?

Whereas the identification with 'what decays and passes away' (in their terms) binds to the 'wheel of saṃsāra' (detachment from same being the aim of 'daily spiritual practice').

In the 20th century, Quantum physics undermined some of the basic assumptions of Classical Physics, by discovering that Nature does not present absolute Truth, but statistical Uncertainty. — Gnomon

The idea of "fundamental substance" is a metaphysical one, not a scientific one. It's a way of thinking, not a matter of fact. — T Clark

The neurology literature is full of examples of the disassociation of the conscious self from the awareness, experience and perception of the organism, blind sight is merely one example. — prothero
