    Logos

    True scientists ARE philosophers, and true philosophers ARE scientists. But I think you have not met too many true philosophers (we're mostly Scotsmen). There certainly is a breed of dry bureaucrat that tries to masquerade under the guise of 'philosopher'; though really these are the sophists...

    What or why is pleasure?

    Having spent much of my youth pursuing sex-and-drugs-and-rock-and-roll, I eventually came to realize that I found those pursuits enjoyable because I had simply decided that they were enjoyable. It was a grand placebo effect. Now for those within that culture, they may not realize the extent to...

    Is there a benefit to atheism?

    aTheism keeps on their toes, those who confuse faith with complacency.

    Logos

    The intuition is not the reason for accepting the idea. It is for deciding which new potential ideas should be examined closely. One of the Wright brothers had to have been intuitively convinced that his ideas would work, before he perhaps toyed with paper planes. Its the initial state of...

    Logos

    You only point to the results. Before the laws of electromagnetic processes could be quantified, somebody had to notice how a glass rod attracted little pieces of paper after being rubbed. His inner mood, had to be in a state of curiosity - he may have pointed this out and had been rebuked in...

    We are decedents of space traveler’s; not monkeys

    Clearly they must have degenerated/devolved from us.

    Intuit

    Yes. The problem is that most people either never go beyond the intuition, or they reject it entirely. The first appear as flim-flams, the second are just herd animals. The trick is to pay clear attention to the intuitions, but then examine them with hard rigorous reasoning. Its really about...

    Logos

    Logos is akin to logic. They are both both metaphysical concepts that subtly describe so much about our perspective on the universe. Logic is an atheistic idea, that seems to suggest that 'order' is an impersonal dead entity. Whereas Logos, is the idea that order by its very nature MUST always...

    Proof against black-holes

    The 'black-hole' is surely an untenable myth.

    Science vs. Gnosis

    Interesting. But I always read the narrative of Genesis in that way. That good and evil are often two sides of the same coin. Whilst freedom (escaping Eden) is a good thing, there is a certain unpleasantness and suffering from it too. This inherent dualism is in all things; For good to exist...

    Is There a Cure for Metaphysical Dogma?

    If they are not the same, we would be able to do away with all the words that distinguish one from the other. But the distinction is very marked, that is why people study 'psychology' and 'physics'. Yes, at the ultimate level, there is likely a unitary 'stuff' that renders those (and all other...

    Good for you! Enjoy the fruits of Africa.

    Proof against black-holes

    My conclusions are that gw150914 MUST be an electromagnetic pull due to gravity being an instantaneous force; whereas what was detected was clearly a fluctuation in a force that traveled at the velocity of light. The proof that gravity is instant is demonstrated in the main article as well as...

    Proof against black-holes

    Actually I have proven that almost everything you say contradicts your previous comments. Not surprising that you regurgitate relativity; parroting away that 'nothing can get past the event horizon, even if it travels at the velocity of light, but gravity can do this whilst travelling at that...

    Proof against black-holes

    So you think that computer algorithms that simulate theories on physical laws are 'nonsense'?

    Proof against black-holes

    I explain that in this other article: Gravitational Waves & General Relativity - A Computational Analysis

    Proof against black-holes

    then pray tell, why are you still posting about it?

    Proof against black-holes

    Yes, I can see that.

    Why Western nations should not donate to the third world

    Well I've lived here in Africa all my life. So lets get to the facts. Christianity existed in Ethiopia before it was in Europe. The Ethiopians had built wonderous stone churches (for eg) at Lalibela when westerners will mostly still slaughtering one another due to many of the problems projected...

    Proof against black-holes

    It generally takes decades for one's life-work to be accepted. This was published earlier this year.
