So says the one knowing nothing about Dharma, Buddhism, or much about the inseperability of the absolute/relative realuty union or what inseperability really means.

Joe Conservative said...

lol! You mean I accept the empirical scan data over Buddhist mysticism?

Les Carpenter said...

Buddhism, properly understood, if far from mysticism. It's more the study of the mind through experiential knowledge.

When you understand the Dharma then talk to me. Until then, try Alan Watts, B. Allan Wallace, James Low, Migur Rinpoche... and so many more.

Oh, that's right, you're a western colonialism capitalist right?

//inseperability of the absolute/relative realuty union or what inseperability really means.

Ok, Google
The inseparability of the absolute and relative reality, a concept from Buddhist philosophy (the doctrine of two truths) and other traditions, suggests that these two aspects of existence are not two separate things but two sides of the same coin. The relative is our everyday, conventional understanding of a world with distinct objects and beings, while the absolute is the ultimate, inexpressible truth of emptiness and interconnectedness. They are indivisible because the relative is a manifestation of the absolute, and the absolute is the underlying reality of the relative; you cannot have one without the other.

YAP
Ordinary religious BS
Or, you are FREE to explain it -- how it ANYHOW differ from similar "inseperability" in ANY raligion.
Like tri-unity in christianity, for example.
It all just a way to mind-boggle people. False and faked "wisdom".

Anonymous said...

"All immanence" is a philosophical and theological concept referring to the idea that the divine is fully and completely present within the material world, not separate from it. This contrasts with transcendence, where the divine is considered to be outside and beyond the material world. Philosophers like Spinoza developed theories of one substance (God or Nature) expressing itself in all things, while certain theological views like pantheism see God as immanent but not transcendent.

Yawn.
False dichotomy.
One that leads to nothing.

//When we are spiritually bypassing, we often use the goal of awakening or liberation to rationalize what I call premature transcendence: trying to rise above the raw and messy side of our humanness before we have fully faced and made peace with it. And then we tend to use absolute truth to disparage or dismiss relative human needs, feelings, psychological problems, relational difficulties, and developmental deficits. I see this as an ‘occupational hazard’ of the spiritual path, in that spirituality does involve a vision of going beyond our current karmic situation.”

Rule of thumb for interpreting the meaning of an event. And aren't 1st principles just that, dogma's (philosophers are dogs, after all; Plato "Republic") Schizo-analysis is anti-philosophy/ anti-Oedipus. It enables multiple readings of meanings ala James Joyce's "Finnegans Wake"... and attempts to circumvent static dogmas. But it still doesn't replace acta non verba, IMO. Andrei Tartovsky, "“We can express our feelings regarding the world around us either by poetic or by descriptive means... I prefer to express myself metaphorically. Let me stress: metaphorically, not symbolically. A symbol contains within itself a definite meaning, certain intellectual formula, while metaphor is an image. An image possessing the same distinguishing features as the world it represents. An image — as opposed to a symbol — is indefinite in meaning. One cannot speak of the infinite world by applying tools that are definite and finite. We can analyse the formula that constitutes a symbol, while metaphor is a being-within-itself, it’s a monomial. It falls apart at any attempt of touching it.""

Now if you'll excuse me, I need to catch a twistor to the other side of the event horizon.

-FJ the Dangerous and Extreme MAGA Jew said...

from Google AI:

Twistor theory is a framework developed by Roger Penrose that proposes a new foundation for physics by defining spacetime as an emergent property of a more fundamental, complex mathematical space called a "twistor space". Instead of starting with spacetime, it begins with objects called twistors, which are related to light rays, and uses them to represent physical quantities like momentum and angular momentum. This approach has led to new mathematical tools and a different perspective on unifying general relativity and quantum mechanics, particularly for calculating scattering amplitudes in particle physics.

Key concepts
Twistor space: The fundamental arena for physics in this theory, which is a complex four-dimensional space. Physical quantities are encoded as geometric data within this space.

Twistors: The basic building blocks of this theory. They are related to the light rays (null geodesics) in spacetime.
Spacetime as a secondary concept: In twistor theory, spacetime points are not fundamental. Instead, they arise from collections of twistors, which are often represented as geometric objects like planes within twistor space.

Unifying physics: A primary goal is to unify general relativity and quantum mechanics. Twistor theory provides a way to approach quantum gravity by treating spacetime as a secondary concept that may need to be "smeared out" in a quantum theory.

Mathematical structure: The theory heavily relies on complex geometry and analysis, bringing together ideas from relativity and quantum mechanics through a new set of mathematical tools.

Applications: Twistor theory has found significant applications in calculating scattering amplitudes, which are probabilities for particles to scatter during collisions. This has led to new insights into quantum field theory and pure mathematics.

Significance
New perspective: It offers a radical shift from the traditional view of physics, which is built on spacetime points...

Doesn't "meaning" rely upon the concept of determinism? With 5 sigma (or greater) accuracy?

That "Anything" can happen in any particular moment isn't true. There are a range of limited options available in the particular moment at any level of entropic "assembly" or "disassembly", each dependent upon the last and next.

-FJ the Dangerous and Extreme MAGA Jew said...

Some things are precluded from happening based upon having taken or missed the conditions required for them happening naturally, especially if restricted to a specific time period in the creation of the universe. The conditions of the early universe are no longer present. The "god particles" in the wild are gone, and therefore Higgs bosons extremely difficult to detect and re-create.

It recounts how he was tasked with training 180 royal concubines into a military unit. When they repeatedly failed to follow his commands due to giggling, Sun Tzu had the king's two favorite concubines, who were acting as company commanders, beheaded for failing to enforce discipline. After new commanders were appointed, the women drilled perfectly, convincing the king of Sun Tzu's ability to command, leading to his appointment as a general.

Are you familiar with Oswald Spengler and his predictions vis the 'Faustian Age'? He predicted that it would eventually become dominated by China...

Google AI:
The prediction regarding China:

In Man and Technics, Spengler predicted the following:
The global spread of Western technology: Spengler foresaw that Western-developed industrial technology would not remain exclusive to the West. He specifically mentioned its spread.

Economic competition: He predicted that nations in East Asia, such as China, would use this technology to develop their own industrial production using lower-wage labor. He argued this would create significant competition that would eventually outcompete Western workers.

The shift of industrial power: As a result of this economic competition, Spengler believed industrial production would shift to other parts of the world, leading to a decline of the West

While ALL history of science and tech scream -- nothing like that happen by itself.

Only through brainy fellows: inventors, industrialists, technologists.

Because such development of techs -- would be DANGEROUS for those who are in power

Capitalists... bound to cooperate.
To make deals.
To sleaze customers.
To play games with governments.

All what socialists can totally circumvent.

Which is one and only TRUE and ideally pure Socialism.
As it was in USSR under Lenin. And in Mao's China.

Heh.
Accidentally read text with direct answer to your musings here. ;-)

""People create technology. And the smarter people are, the more perfect the technology.
Idiots can only create idiotic technology.
The development of the IT industry is a direct reflection of the development of relationships between people - and even how “human” those people and relationships are (in a good way).
Algorithms do exactly what their human developers put into them. There are no mythical “artificial intelligences” or “independently thinking” programs - there are only algorithms made by other (smart or not so) people.""

Excerpt.

""The Soviet government often spread horror stories that people believed and were willing to accept. The more horrific the details of these rumors in the stories, the more people believed them because horrible things attract attention.

New technologies create a space for rumors, manipulation, and misinformation. For example, in the 1970s, many people were initially afraid of microwaves, which became widespread at this time. These fears took story form in the rumor that someone tried to dry a wet cat in a microwave, and it exploded. As far as I know, this has never happened, but I have heard this story, as have many others. It was popular because it expressed, in the form of an easily repeatable story, fears about what was a new technology to many people in the 1970s.""

So. Basicly.
Your disdain toward new techs, which you dim as result of your free inquery...
in result are just result of cunning propaganda of enemy of USA.

YAWN.

-FJ the Dangerous and Extreme MAGA Jew said...

People aren't ready for what's coming from technology. Humans were "selected" for co-existence in an environment of scarcity. How will they deal with an environment of "abundance"? We've seen a preview of it here in the US. As Catherine Liu calls it, a society of "virtue hoarders" (DEM/ luxury values) who create "moral hazards" for everyone around them.

The move from wealth via actual 'Capital" to flaunting 'Social Capital'. That's what "woke" is. They believe themselves to be "good" because they don't care about mundane things like money (because they have it). They're "professionals". They're "managers". They're the Professional Managerial Class (PMC). They "virtue signal" their PMC status at every opportunity and in every social encounter. They "gate-keep" thru DEI/ ESG programs. Only the virtue signalers qualify for the surplus salaries they pretend to care so little about.

I had a friend who used to always say, "The work isn't hard, it's the people who make the work hard."

And the people have become insufferable. The tech has made them insufferable.

To redirect your disdain from their stupid ruling... at something else.
That's just like church was redirecting people's attention from open and obvious injustice of feudal society... at some fairytale stories about demons and Devil, from which they placed themself as self-proclaimed protectors. Protectors deserving better pay, richer life, uncontrollable power.
Because "if not us... devils will come"))))))

I was telling you that story. I dim as plausible. HOW it all started. In primordial times.

In a stone age tribe. Made of young men and women. Because older people have died.
Which eradicated memory of the past. And such tribe was fresh and young, and full of vigor.
And natural selection have happen -- stupid and insuferable have died.
While healthy and smarty -- survived. And have progeny.
Like just any other animals out there.
In a never-ending cycle of death and birth.

But then, "miracle" happened.
That people... invented speaking.
And "caring about elder".

How? How you do think? ;-)

Isn' because that elders. Who became predestined to die. Because not able to self-serve. To find food to themself.
"Explained" to puny youth -- that they NEED to be fed and served.
Because "only they" can "talk with gods".

Critiques and Counterarguments:
Unsustainability:
Many critiques argue that the current model of progress, driven by endless economic expansion and resource depletion, is unsustainable and ultimately harmful.

Answer: Nothing is. Even Sun will burn out. Even Universe itself will meet Termal Death.
So what???

Anonymous said...

Ignoring Limits:
Some critics point to the scientific laws of thermodynamics, limits to growth, and the concept of self-organization, arguing that these natural laws contradict the idea of endless linear progress, according to Tom Wessels in "The Myth of Progress: Toward a Sustainable Future".

Answer: And who said "linear"?????



Unintended Consequences:
Critics also highlight the negative consequences of technological advancements and economic development, such as environmental degradation, social inequality, and the potential for misuse of technology.

Answer: Not possible to workaround. Yawn.



Moral Ambiguity:
The idea of progress as a linear march towards freedom and a better world is challenged by the capacity of humans for both good and evil, and the potential for even well-intentioned advancements to be used for destructive purposes.


Answer: Phony BS. Themself "invented" "linear progress(progress actually -- exponential). Themself "invented" some phony morality. And on that phony base criticizing.))))

Loss of Connection:

Lack of Hope:
