Whitehead and Teilhard in my own words.

I didn't mention Godel's incompleteness theorem. No formal system can be both complete and consistent. So we will never be able to step outside of reality to measure it completely, not only because we can't remove mind from matter, but because our formal systems of notation are self-limiting.

    yeah it can be. for the most part, our modern perspectives tend to be diseases

  • is dualism a disease

  • You say there is something called "the world" with which we interact to create...the world. But how can there be anything with which to interact unless it is "objective" to begin with? In other words, how can we create the world by interacting with the world before we have created it?

  • It wasn't confusing, you just explained how those 2 things are really one- which is also what he was trying to explain through this video.

  • "All around us we have this objects that were invented by ideas..."

    This is exactly what David Bohm says in his "Wholeness and the implicit order" (3rd Chapter)

    Interesting... I found that chapter on a Philosophy forum few days after I saw this video...

  • Thought stuff causing things to form.

    Wouldn't matter be the cause of mind and mind be the cause of matter in a way? Without the matter in the cosmos, the mind couldn't be created and without the mind, thoughts couldn't form to create ideas to create matter. Sorry if that was confusing. Good thought provoking video. :)

  • Nick, The Modern Mistake.

    God bless 'im. ¦:¬þ

    When all's said & done, faith is all we really have.

    Kinda.

  • How does thought stuff cause thought stuff?

  • "One must still have chaos in oneself to be able to give birth to a dancing star ."

    Great vid. ...

  • It seeems to me that the more brilliantly you formulate your perception of evolutionary "progress", the more it tends to become--even flatly--affirmative. I'd think there's a way past the Scylla of pure affirmation and the Charybdis of sheer apocalypticalism, but sailing into the open sea of dialectics means risking the intellectual comforts of safe havens ... Alas, why would anyone do that?
