1650z........
We are all perfectly capable of wearing all of those hats.
The trick is to wear them all at once, while juggling
the cosmic coherence.
We may all be doing that in our spare time, before the decade is out.
..........
How personal is the Moon....... how personal are dinosaurs?
How personal is the Mandelbrot?
All of these items display aspects of the essential character of the personal...... just as do the hats that Fores posted.
Persons are essentially microcosmic, and we reflect/embrace every aspect, essentially....... even or especially in our greatest antipathy toward any given feature.
Everything has meaning..... has its relational significance........ and meaning is what is most intensely personal...... even or especially for the most autistic amongst us.
There is nothing that is not an essential feature of the whole, but it is only persons who can know and appreciate that.
When it comes to God’s cosmic pleroma....... it’s just, look, Ma, no holes...... except for portals.
And don’t let portals fool you.
Portals are where Nature’s excesses get swept under the rug.
They are gold mines....... but you do have to know what you are looking for.
They’ve been the ruin of many a poor boy........
1750.........
It has been said before that everything is a portal...... even or especially atoms....... such as they are......microscopic little devils.
Keep in mind that the mind is just a quantum portal...... fed by the neurons.
Are we God’s neurons?
Members of the Olympiad..... the Zodiad...... they are our neurons.
The last shall be first, and the first shall be last.
And then there is Johnny in the middle.
1930........
I haven’t answered my question of how stars differ from the Sun, ontologically.
Am I claiming that there are any physical differences?
No, there are no measurable differences..... no objective differences.
But there are no objects.
The Sun and stars have very different subjective properties.
But what about hypothetical properties?
If I get to close to the fire, it will burn me....... same with the distant star.
But it’s not the same.
Am I not just quibbling?
Am I claiming an ontological difference between exposed and unexposed rocks?
And what exactly do I mean by ontology?
I am saying that there is only one Sun, while there are myriads of stars.
In as much as existence is relative, it is ultimately relative to sapience.
What would Leibniz say...... about the identity of indiscernibles?
Could a universe consist of two identical objects?
No, because there would have to be an observer, who would break the symmetry. The observer would necessarily violate the parity of left and right.
The immediate practical import is that I’m questioning the existence of exobiology.
We are not going to discover a planet with biological levels of oxygen, for instance, nor will there be fossils on Mars.
Life is exists only relative to sapient life.
I’m not sure that it makes sense to distinguish between the animate and inanimate..... ontologically.
But I have to.
There is a web of life that is ontologically different from any non animate webs.
I am certainly refusing any abiogenesis.
Lichen fossils on Mars would disprove the BPWH...... in other words.
Scientists accept that abiogenesis is rare.
I’m claiming that it is impossible.
Not only does the I Am precede existence, in general..... it precedes life in particular.
Is it impossible for God to plant lichens on Mars?
That is the implication.
The implication is that God does not exist in any non relative sense.
Creation is necessarily a package deal, including sapience, most definitely.
And where are we, now, with the existence of dinosaurs?
What about Jurassic park.... past, present or future?
It would have had to have been in some other dimension.
Dinosaur DNA?
I will leave that to the Logos Spermatikos to figure out.
In effect, the Best Possible World springs fully formed from the brow of the I Am....... modulo the original participation, perhaps.
It’s a package deal.
