Emergence: Where Science Meets Philosophy

[WILLTHEWGMAN]

Science itself is dogmatic by solely relying on the limited five human senses in its observations alone. It not only can't answer truths in human morality, justice, emotions & ones self awareness as an individual with free-will; it discounts all of these carte blanc as mere biochemical illusions via this limited view. If bacteria had it's own logic & reason then used the scientific method how would they perceive the same world we live in with their senses, would we be mindless to them? Cont>

@WILLTHEWGMAN , you ever heard about Sam Harris?

@relieboy404

Yes, Sam incoherently claims that morals can be objective but at the same times claims free-will of choice to be an illusion and that humans have no true free-will. He claims that "humans flourishing" can be this moral objectiveness but "human flourishing is just as subjective as any other human proposition. Which humans flourishing, the rapist or the victim, the aborted baby or the mother? Should desire outweigh longevity? Is freedom more important than safety?... Why do you ask?

@WILLTHEWGMAN Morality is only subjective in the sense that health is subjective. Perhaps in 100 years, as Sam Harris says, not being able to run a marathon at age 200 will be a relatively severe handicap. But while the details may remain clouded, there is a clear and inarguable path to higher and higher levels of human health; as there is also for higher and higher levels of well-being in conscious creatures; of which is the essence of morality.

Cont>: Science is just as presumptuous a human proposition to a truth seeking method and just as dogmatic and limited as a false religion. Science is only a sub-set of human philosophy but it's proposition as the sole truth mechanism discounts the very notion of truth in humanity and philosophy as no more than biochemical illusory. In this regard philosophy has birthed a god called science which has proved it's own mother a myth!

This sounds like "how to sound very smart without learning anything."

[SmoothPinkWater]

@anewgift4u This sounds like "how to write a comment without thinking."

[anewgift4u]

Is this a suggestive thought implant to the "emergence" of "the new world teacher?" I see maybe as early as 2013 when we dawn a new age and the age of Jesus is said to be over and the new Christ may emerge. His name will be Maetreya. Did this guy say "the endowed?" Like "the endowment?" What's next collectivism or democracy. Cut the chase and just go Marxism manifesto.
