Personalism 102

First topic message reminder :

This is a topic reminder post……

Personalism 102 is just a continuation Personalism 101…….. as we approach the limit of 40 pages.  

The contention remains that the best possible world is necessarily based on the philosophy and ontology of Personalism.  

The ontology is immaterialism, taken at it’s most fundamental level.

ANU.

Is exactly how I detect all living entities.

Anyone who identifies as a Deep State Ghoul should come clean here and now.


This is your last warning!

🥰

J,

Maybe you’re confused.  

I’m the deep _cosmic_ ghoul (DCG)…….. .
………..


In the meantime, I’ve been perusing mathematics…… https://www.quantamagazine.org/strange-numbers-found-in-particle-collisions-20161115/

Yes, the Logos runs deep.  

Of course, I don’t believe in string theory, but I do believe in strings.  

String theory is a playground for mathematical physicists.

It keeps them off the streets until the portals open.  

Well, let’s amend that……

I take the Logos very seriously wherever it touches upon the Anthropic Principle.  

String theory sets up the Anthropic landscape…… of > 10^500 possible worlds…… plus the rare Earth hypothesis (REH)….. and guess what that makes our world?  

The Pythagoreans believed that God must be a mathematician.  

No.  God is much too lazy for that.  

God invented mathematicians……. like Pythagoras.

What about Pratītyasamutpāda…… co-Creation.  

Pythagoras also invented God, thank you very much.  

Who invented the Logos?  

Well, Diogenes, the cynic, was the grandfather of Stoicism….. the birthplace of the Logos Spermatikos……. which is the first cousin of the I Am.  

Just a little bit of cosmic incest.  

Put the Logos Spermatikos together with the World Egg , and you’d better watch out……. it’s all over ’til the Hieros Gamos…… being one with the One.  

I guess that Charlie D will just have to roll over in his grave 🪦.  

The omnipresence of the Logos…… both within and without, tells us something about the logical precedence of sapience over sentience.  

Sapience is cosmic, in a way that sentience never could be.  

But we’ve dwelt too much upon the logical side of the Logos……

In its first instance, Logos refers us to language and speech.  

The word became flesh, and dwelt among us.  

Without a Logos, there is no Ontos……. no Topos.  

There is no primordial observer without the ultimate observer.  

The Alpha and Omega are One…… of necessity, when we include the Metanarrative……. speaking of the Logos.  

Can there be a narrative without a Metanarrative…… without a cosmic context?  

Just regard the Mythos.

Could there be a myth without a Mythos?  

The Mythos gives us a Topos and a Logos.  

Well…… until science came along.  

Then we Saved the Appearances.  

There are two ways to save the Appearances……. from the bottom up, or from the top down.  

If we choose the latter, we can save ourselves in the process.  

But, hey, with the BPW, we get to have both….. we, too, get to incarnate the Logos.  

With the Logos, we inherit the dictionary problem…… every word can only be defined in a context of other words……. Pratītyasamutpāda….. there was no first word……. no myth without a Mythos.  

And now the mathematical dots are being connected……. there is no part of mathematics that is not connected to every other part.  

And it’s all tied into the Anthropic Principle.  

Do you understand why chick is slightly skeptical 🧐 about the chatbots ?

Why…….?

Theoretically, one can make a chatbot out of ropes and pulleys.  

There is no context.  

Persons are all about context.  

And the whole kit and caboodle is sub specie aeternitatis!  

Space and time are simply the playpen of the Logos.  
……….


Am I suggesting that our furry and feathered friends do not share our space with us?  

Well, I’m certainly suggesting that they do not share history with us.

At best, they play bit parts in our Metanarrative.  

I also suggest that there is no Topos with our four-legged friends.

I guess I’m suggesting that there is no awareness without self-awareness.  

Do animals not feel pain?  

Well, yes and no.  

Cats and dogs feel different pain.  

Dogs can definitely socialize pain as our best friends.

Cats are much more stoic about their pain.  

Isn’t that just a matter of degree?

We, on the other hand, hasten to make a federal case out of our pain.

Our canine friends…… they are friends of our court……. but it’s definitely our court, and not theirs.  

All of this is just an academic distinction.  

Well, the distinction that I do make is the distinction between long-term and short-term memory.  

By long-term memory, I’m referring to eidetic-type memories.... or non motor type memory……. wherein there is an explicit subject involved.

Yes, elephants, apocryphally, have long-term memory, but without the narrational context.  

Ok, we also have long-term memories outside of any wider context.  

I can remember a specific scene without benefit of any accompanying context…… as to time or location, etc.  

Such memories may arise spontaneously, but this is somewhat unusual.  

Typically, I attempt to remember from the outside in…… I set up a context and see if anything comes in.  

I submit that such contextual remembrance is idiosyncratic to persons.  

Nay, not only is it idiosyncratic…… it is definitive of personhood…… of how we feel in any given context.  

Personhood is nothing if it is not holistic in a total or cosmic context.  

This necessary cosmic contextuality explains our proclivity towards a spiritual sensibility.

What then are we to make of atheists, existentialists, etc?  

I take it as a resignation to a zeitgeist, or as a very deliberate posturing.  

Well, in their early stages, there is a strong element of nonconformity, which may be a defense of one’s personhood.  

An anti-social posture is the flip side of our social identity.  
…………


So where were we……..?

Just connecting the dots……. if one is a holist, there is a lot of dot connecting to do.  

And, if you are a monistic holist, you can’t afford to miss any dots…… you have to cover every base.  

And poor chick , he has to fend off a literal army of folks posturing as scientific materialists.  

What about all the others…….. all those church going or closet spiritualists?  

Sometimes I have to wonder.  

Is no one else defending personhood ?  

If anyone is serious about defending personhood, they had best be prepared to make a cosmic case of it.

Nothing short of that is rising to the occasion.

Is there any other occasion that could have a comparable priority?

🥰

I wouldn’t worry about the ghouls.

Figments of imagination.

Most of them are republicans anyway.

God’s hateful children.

Got love them most.

They so need love.

It’s all simulation and simulacra anyway.

Much ado about nothing really.

It was already so in Shakespeare’s day and even more unreal now.

I’ll take a hateful republican over a compassionate narcissist democrat any day, they’re way more straightforward.

The democrat is no less hateful than the republican!

The welfare and warfare state are brewing with hate.

May they both rot in hell together



Viva la libertad!

Naaaa, give me a good progressive Democrat any day over a stupid hateful Republican if I have to choose.

Democrats represent love of their neighbor much more than the hateful lying selfish republicans.

The original Christians lived communally and sold all their goods and gave to the group.

Socialism.

This is heresy to sick religious republicans.

They don’t even know their own religion’s roots.

Brainwashed muppets.

The damage that people do each other is an original kind of evil – it may be more prevalent in some sociological defined groups than others, but it can happen anywhere.

Lovers are closer to reality than haters.

They are the most dangerous muppets on earth.

But all ideology is unreal.

Let the muppet partisans fight.

Who cares.

I don’t have to be friends with morons and I’m not.

My friends and I are not political in the popular sense or partisans, we are mystics, poets/artists, and philosophers.

My ass they do!

You should try living in a Utah neighborhood

You’d get so much of love thy neighbor you might just burst and run for the hills

San Fran however is a mess

More hate in 3 city blocks there than all of Utah

Some like pet cats some like pet dogs

Oh well

U still my homie, homie

Homie wrote:My friends and I are not political in the popular sense or partisans, we are mystics, poets/artists, and philosophers.

This is kind of on topic, Utah is full of crazy religious zealots.

Mormons are wacko

What else needs to be said about Utah?

They are their own country really.

They take care of their own, like the Jews and I admire that.

Have at it.

I don’t have to visit

Politics will always reflect beliefs.

You can’t really separate religion and state I think.

We have to get along on the big stuff.

Don’t legislate your morality or values to me is all I ask of both sides and all countries.

Globalism was about one thing, money!

Making the world easier to control for the powerful.

But their power is an illusion.

It’s not real.

Bombs aren’t really real.

Life happens in small circles.

These social wars fought in political parties are all fake news.

They do one thing, distract us from the really selfish evil stuff their donors want and are doing.

People who argue about politics are stupid fools.

In the end, I’m the best human being I can be.

I don’t expect people to do what I do, nor want them to, live and let live.

I expect them to be civil and leave me alone, as I will leave them alone.

Sure, I don’t want my taxes to be wasted.

I want progressive effective always improving government.

But that’s not what we have.

We live in a plutocracy controlled by the rich.

The rest unfortunately is just a show and a smoke screen.

Manufactured consent.

The only thing real is our heart and who we love and loves us and what we do.

The rest is a simulation, an abstraction, a circus and corruption of reality.

So we have to find our own way and connect to what is real.

Out there is not reality.

It’s infused and supported by reality, but it’s the best possible unreality.

If we could do better we would.

So really everyone is always doing the best they can and are able to.

So we have a great opportunity to show empathy for each other as Jesus did.

We cannot be mad at each other for not believing or doing as we ourselves do.

Someone who wants to force others to live a certain way may have many motivations.

The common good, what’s best for me, what’s best for my boss, for my  version of god.

Who knows what drives a muppet?

I do.

Love.

When you know the cosmos as yourself, love comes pouring out of you.

I heard Jesus, I think he was right on about these things.

His church is a disaster, but his heart is my heart and my heart is his heart.

That’s reality.

My politics and gospel are simple.

Love each other and the world as yourself, for surely it is.

Have I mentioned eschatology or god?

No need.

This here sells itself.

Chivo…….

Love each other and the world as yourself, for surely it is.

Have I mentioned eschatology or god?

No need.

This here sells itself.

If only it were quite that simple.  

Shouldn’t the best possible world be just that simple?

One contention might be that a world of pure love might collapse under its own weight.  

In fact, that is exactly my contention.  

That is exactly what is about to happen…… as we become one with  the One.  

So why couldn’t we just cut to the final love scene?  

Ask every dramaturge……. we all demand the foreplay…… it can’t just be slam, bam…….

Well, wouldn’t it be nice if this would turn out to be the simple truth…… but all this suspense is killing us……. all too literally!  

If only we could muster the faith to believe in the happy ending.  

If only the Grand Deception were not quite so deceiving.  

Whoever designed our little Funhouse may have outdone themselves….. bit off more than they could chew.  

When do we get our money back?  

Where can we lodge our complaints?  

It may have to do with the fact that our best possible Funhouse/love-shack turned out to be bigger than most of us could have imagined.  

In the best possible world, perhaps size matters.

There are a lot of us who will be disappointed that we can’t travel to the stars .  

Well, let’s not be too impatient……. let’s not second guess ourselves, sub specie aeternitatis……..

Several philosophers have argued that if we examine our lives in context of the cosmos at large, sub specie aeternitatis, we cannot escape life's meaninglessness. To see our lives as meaningful, we have to shun the point of view of the cosmos and consider our lives only in the narrower context of the here and now.

I think this might be Chivo’s situation.

Yes, chick has bitten of more than he can chew!  



(cont……..)

Chivo keeps good company……

I have not as yet been able to discover the reason for these properties of [the world] from phenomena, and I do not feign hypotheses. For whatever is not deduced from the phenomena must be called a hypothesis; and hypotheses, whether metaphysical or physical, or based on occult qualities, or mechanical, have no place in experimental philosophy.

Hmmm…….

Well, Isaac, you’ll just have to get thee behind me.

Metaphysics rules…… chick fingos hypotheses…. BPWH!
……………


Yes, chick feigns an hypothesis…….. an hypothesis that runs against the grain of modernism and postmodernism……. against secularism and sectarianism.

The BPWH redefines rationalism towards coherentism……. away from mere correspondence……. in other words, away from scientific materialism.  

The BPWH is the only hypothesis to pass that muster.  

The Eschaton looms.

Needless to say, folks shy away.  

Can we blame them?

Many desperados hang on to scientific materialism for dear life…… hang on to the Big Bang cosmology.

Can we blame them?  

Personalism is the only thing we have have going for us.

You can have a weak, epistemic form of personalism…… almost for free.  

Strong personalism, however, comes with some serious ontological strings attached……. the Eschaton being a stand out.

Secular humanists are opting for the weak version…… needless to say.

Why go any further?



(cont……..)

I just finished planting/tending to the spring garden this weekend.

I Trump your eschatology with flower power.

I Trump the lunatic right with flower power.

I Trump the demiturds with flower power.

My friend, it is indeed as simple as an act of kindness.

The kingdom is mine and everything in it.

I am the world and all the kingdoms and everything in them.

I believe you have boggled your mind.

Shhhh, relax, calm yourself, breathe.

No problems.

Don’t worry about that big cosmos.

You are boxing way above your weight class.

It drove you crazy.

Remember what the love of those near you means.

If these are just chemical interactions for you, I’m sad for you.

The cosmos can be understood in a grain of sand.

In a flower.

In the grasp of a hand.

In a hug.

In a wink.

And a dagger to the heart.

Until you can see the small things, the bigger things will remain a mystery.

Until you can see inside out and walk backwards, you just have no idea what is happening here now.

And if you simply can’t understand me, take it up with the management.

The spiritual life is a lot more challenging than the fact intelligence based life.

It’s really something discovering the world and reality that surrounds the world we think is all that exists.

I watched Elon musk on Tucker.

Two liars lost in never never land.

Absolutely clueless, living for materialism.

I simply can’t watch the nonsense any longer.

It has no reality.

I was talking to a friend at work today, we have connected on a deep level.

We talked about our wives and how we both were moved and opened up by the unconditional love of our wives.

It was a special moment to connect so deeply.

I long for connection to the real.

I have no interest in the world of illusion.

It simply rots your teeth.

Traps you.

There is something in us that can show us how to connect with reality if we can humble ourselves.

More of that please.

Nah

It was an interesting conversation and Elon is brilliant

Meanwhile Elon getting shit done in the real world

Like building and running starlink so mf’rs can blog on sites like OMF and watch Big Bang Theory in their phones while they takin a shit in the Gobi desert

Homeboi went out of his way to show me a black triangle in the oldest settlement in North America.

Posting on OMF must count for something


My parents loved Big Bang Theory and my Mom's middle name is Elizabeth.

(Please delete my post )

Liars make heroes of liars.

The beguiled who listen to pied pipers have no discernment.

The definition of a muppet.

Can’t reason with them at all.

The beguiled beguile themselves.

The Anti-Christ is just the aggregated ego.

Watch it wiggle.

Watch it jiggle.

People are only falling into a deeper sleep.

The fight is to stay human.

The Jinn seduce the weak minded.

Who can resist?

Best thing to do is to turn off the show.

Click!

Poor Chivo,

He just can’t take it anymore…….. the world has overwhelmed him.  

All you have to do, Chivo, is keep your eye on the ball.  

You are right about Tucker and Elon…….. anyone who thinks that AI is our biggest problem does not have their eye on the ball.  

What is our biggest problem………?  Not realizing that we have no problem.

No matter what we do, individually, this is going to be the best possible world……. even if we do the worst possible thing.  

So, how do we keep our eye on the ball?  

We just keep track of the big questions…….

To be or not to be, is a perennial favorite.  

And what exactly is the question?  

Why is there something rather than nothing?  

The physicists will tell you that is the wrong question.  

With the multiverse, there is only one choice……. we either get nothing or everything.  

I don’t believe that…… not for a minute.  

When I look around, I don’t see everything……. I see something.  

When I ask folks if they would rather see something else, no one can agree on what that something else should be.  

But everyone agrees that that the world could be better……. if only the other folks would listen to them.  

Allow me to venture the following………

The three biggest problems are Donald, Vladimir and Xi……… they think they are so smart that they should impose their ideas on everyone else.  

I don’t believe that for a minute.  

If they truly had any smarts, they would first try to find out what is actually going on.

How does one do that?

First, you sit down and read the newspapers .

Pretty soon you realize that everyone is just shouting at everyone else.

So, we have a choice…….. we can pick out the biggest bully and help to impose some order on the world.

This is basically what Donald, Vladimir, Xi, and Company are doing.

Is there an alternative?

I believe so.

I asked Google Bard to develop my 2015 concept:

Google Bard replied (in parts):

"In a world ravaged by an apocalyptic crisis, a young Korean idol star is destined to lead the world to a new era of peace and prosperity. With her powerful singing voice and inspiring personality, she rallies the people together and gives them hope for the future. She leads them in a fight against the forces of evil, and ultimately triumphs, ushering in a new age of peace and prosperity."

"The probability of a Korean idol star becoming an important political focus on the global stage is increasing ... as K-pop continues to grow in popularity, it is likely that we will see more Korean idol stars become involved in politics."

"Artificial intelligence (AI) could be used to bridge the entertainment industry with the spy craft in a number of ways. For example, AI could be used to:

Create deepfakes or other forms of synthetic media that could be used to discredit or damage the reputation of a target.

Track and monitor the online activity of a target, including their social media posts, search history, and website visits.

Hack into the devices of a target and steal their personal information, such as their contacts, emails, and photos.

Design addictive or harmful apps or games that could be used to distract or control the behavior of a target.

These are just a few of the ways that AI could be used to bridge the entertainment industry with the spy craft. It is important to be aware of the potential risks of using AI in this way, and to take steps to protect yourself from being targeted by AI-powered spies."

The moment civilization was transformed:

Gary,

Thanks.  

Yes, this is the moment that chick has been waiting for.  

We already know what is the question , and what is the answer……… 42!  

For the last 42 years, chick has been making like 42.  

The global intelligence community also has its eyes on this ball.  

They are doing what they can to redirect and decelerate this process, but it’s rather like the little Dutch boy, putting his finger in the dike…… too little…… too late.  

Apres chick , la deluge.

Dude opened a portal in his bedroom as a child

Confirmed by his own nanny

His favorite book is hitchhikers guide to the galaxy

Claims it to be the best philosophy book he has ever read

Lmfao,

I posted that before seeing your last post

Goblin magic

Thanks, Aaron……..

Elon is being incredibly stupid.  

He has no clue.  

Perhaps he is being paid to try to redirect our search for the SoT…….. lots of luck , Elon……..

There's something happening here
But what it is ain't exactly clear
There's a man with a gun over there
Telling me I got to beware
I think it's time we stop
Children, what's that sound?
Everybody look, what's going down?
