Some random key ideas.
1.
Historical tales are empirical ideas. We believe these evidence-based reconstructions of real past events with varying degrees of confidence. We can prove or disprove their related empirical implications.
2.
Quote:
- Laozi.
- 550 BCE.
Meaning:
For Laozi’s metaphysics, his reality is relational. Pairs rise and fall in unison defining and sustaining one another.
4.
The Kardashev Scale offers a cosmic yardstick for imagining how advanced civilizations become as they master ever-greater sources of energy.
5.
Quote:
- Michael Alan Prestwood.
- 2024.
Meaning:
Identity isn’t fixed. It shifts as we grow. Understanding yourself means accepting that “me” is a story in motion, not a finished definition.
6.
From History:
Good common knowledge is the Grand Rational Framework. It is our common-floor public belief, and it evolves knowledge anchored to the material world, where only evidence-grounded reasoning reshapes what we collectively treat as true.
7.
The split separates our ideas and the material world. To live in harmony with nature, embrace the idea that our rational ideas must be internally coherent, but only empirical contact with reality justifies belief.
8.
Quote:
- Ludwig Wittgenstein.
- 1922.
Meaning:
Wittgenstein argued that language sets the boundaries of understanding. What we cannot express in words may still be experienced.
9.
From History: We can only describe nature.
The Unknowable Dao reminds us that some of reality may be too deep, too fluid, or too vast to capture fully in words.
