As it stands, he's only concerned with looking like he's winning an imaginary pissing contest as to who understands the most philosophical-sounding jargon; as such, he takes pride in using them in ways that confuse people. The more people he confuses, the better he feels, and the more we tell him he's not making sense, the bigger his misunderstood-genius/victimization complex gets.How, exactly, was this analogy not clear when I pointed it out? And if you don't know what the connection is then at least you can ask first..Science examines the order, discredits the disorder, and claims it's by-product is the absolute truth... [Sounds like the christian trinity]
The trinity concept [Male - Female - Son] is seen in most if not all cultures mythologies, and depending on what values the culture likes and dislikes the trinity (through their perspective) will resemble their tastes. For example, if all three items have the same value we can assume this is a reflection of equality; If, however, the Male concept is over-hyped, the Female is discredited, and the Son is seen as the only 'path of salvation'... then what does this reflect?
I've never stated that I don't understand the analogy. You seem to not understand this point. My point was that the description of science in your so-called analogy is flawed at best, and even if it were a good description of science, it fails as an analogy. I'm just going to respond in single sentences, since that seems to be the only way you communicate.
1. I'd pointed out that there was research for chaotic systems - you seem to utterly ignore what I wrote. Science doesn't discredit disorder, it studies it. Can you respond to this in a coherent manner?
2. The christian trinity is not male - female - son. Your original post mentions nothing of that. The christian trinity is Father - son - holy spirit.
3. If your original "analogy" is indeed of the christian trinity, then it fails also as an analogy. How is crediting the order, discrediting the disorder, and claims its byproduct as absolute truth a good analogy for father - son - holy spirit? Which part is which?
4. Even going with your male - female - son analogies, it fails. If you're talking about order and disorder in eastern philosophies, I'm only aware of dualities such as the ying and yang. Where does the son, or the child part of your "trinity" come in?
5. You wrote christian trinity. Don't run away from your own post. Defend if you can, but don't change the subject from the christian trinity to some other philosophical idea.
Niocan said:Honestly, whenever the entire paragraph or context is taken out then it's very safe to say this quote mine was intentional.
1. Honestly, whenever you suck at communicating, stop blaming other people for not understanding you.
2. If you read the rest of the posts here, it's not hard to see that nobody understood your first sentence in the way you think it should've been represented. It's very safe to say that it was not intentional that we took your sentence differently than from what you thought you'd said.
Niocan said:Tesla's quote and my mention of ego effecting both sides should tell you that's a pathetic application. How about that MPG rating for the original model T? Hm? (It was 25MPG by the way )monitoradiation said:How's that for practical applications?
1. Appeal to authority.
2. You expect us to produce a super-efficient car the first time one was ever produced? Were you always great at communicating with other people? Oh wait, lemme take that back.
3. You don't understand why science is an iterative process.
4. Is there a point to posting the MPG of the model T? Seems like a red herring to me.
5. If you object to my example, tell me where. Otherwise, a mere assertion will be dismissed.
5. That my example is a pathetic application is your opinion. Too bad you continue to benefit from the "pathetic application" of science.
Niocan said:I had mentioned that both are corrupted by their own egos, and what you point out is exactly that. I'm not attacking one side over the other, and you should know by now that I'm a Spiritualist <3. I give 'pure' science all the credit it deserves and more, as it's no easy task to understand the physical world and don't assume I forget about the self-correcting nature built within it.
1. You seem to forget the self-correcting nature built within science when you mentioned that the MPG rating for the original model T was low. I still don't know why you mentioned it, but the fact that you brought it up shows that you forget about it all the time. Self-correcting includes continuous improvement.
2. What is "pure" science, and how will it be practical in real life?
3. There is no "pure" science being practiced. Everyone has a motivation aside from understanding the physical world. I'm sorry to break your lalaland bubble.
4. I had mentioned that we live in a real world. Real world science is hence limited by funding. Do you have a point to make other than your utopian "pure science" which isn't practical?
Niocan said:Congrats on continuing to think that your mined fact is Truth while ignoring the clear context of my statement.
1. Congrats on continuing to think that the context of your statement is actually clear.
Niocan said:It was indeed my point to show that there's a difference between how science works in theory and how it's being implemented today; Just as I'm sure there are religious people who think they're standing for Just causes while ignoring the misapplication and corruption that they truly stand for.. I don't meant to discredit either, I'm just here trying to add some structure (ironically enough) to this arrangement by separating the theory from the general application of each method.
1. There is always a difference between how any method works in theory and how it's implemented. The difference is how closely the end result is to its original intention.
2. Science on paper is for the understanding of the physical world. The end result is that we continue to learn more about the physical world.
3. Religion (in your opinion) is for the connectivity, whatever that means, and could be debatable whether or not religion is for this purpose. The end result is that we don't know whether or not this connectivity is being refined because it's a nebulous term that you've chosen to utilize; however, it is clear from theocracies around the world and the leadership of the RCC that it is not, by far, what we need.
