Mathematical Infinity and Human Destiny HQ

There are two approaches to mathematical infinity. It can be seen as defining limiting cases that can never be realized or as existing in some philosophical sense. These mathematical approaches parallel approaches to meaning and value that I call absolutist and evolutionary. The absolutist sees ultimate meaning as something that exists most commonly in the form of an all powerful infinite God. The evolutionary sees life and all of a creation as an ever expanding journey with no ultimate or final goal. There is only the journey. There is no destination. This video argues for an evolutionary view in our sense of meaning and values and in our mathematical understanding. There is a deep connection between the two with profound implications for the evolution of consciousness and human destiny. Learn more at http://WhatWillBe.com

Does this claim there is a limit to what science can describe as phenomenal consciousness, or the what it is like aspect of consciousness?

[pbudnik]

There is no limit to what science can describe about the structure of conscious experience. For example all the structure of a visible image can be captured in a photograph. The essence of the experience of a visual image the "what it is like part" is something outside of scientific explanation. Bertrand Russell at the end of _The Analysis of Matter_ may have been the first to observe this distinction.

Very good video!!!

In my video The Paradox of Schrodingers Cat an artist view it is Time that is the Hidden Variable. Time has symmetry and geometry that can explain the paradoxes of Quantum Physics. Could infinity be a process of time creation into spacetime?
