@Deleted User Statements are also not important.
Or their defense. They are just an abstraction
I think statements are important because without a system of language no thought is possible.
@Deleted User thought is not important for matter.
It is how it is without or with thought.
Oh, it's a spook. I get you now.
Everything not matter (whatever that means) is a spook. Gotcha.
@Deleted User abstractions not based on matter are spooks.
And the one that are based on matter mostly spooks too.
You don't even know what matter is without abstraction.
You pretend that you were born with the knowledge.
You don't know. But that does not matter.
The matter is irrational.
Is it? How do you know?
When you make predictions out of logic most of the time you are wrong.
We can rationalize matter.
To some degree.
Using abstractions.
And it is helpful for human brain. But the matter itself does not require your rationality.
Most human are irrational too and animals are.
Logic is a spook.
it is very necessary if you work with abstractions.
But it is very limited at the same time.
You arrive at all these conclusions via magic?
Logic has limitations. They are great. they are spooky.
You don't see billions of people doing logical for them but limited things?
Every day
It depends. Are they using logic correctly, and are the premises sound?
It also depends. Logic used correctly, like in Hegel's case, is also a spook.
Hegel went so far away from reality people can't even understand his writings.
And the result of his writings is idealism, mistake and nonsense.
Hegel strayed too far from observations.
You are going billions of years from observations. Hegel did better.
I no longer need cosmology. Aquinas has arguments that work with an eternal universe.
All time is relative.
Arguments again.
You can make observations about the past.
Most people can't make observations of present.
Which means...?
