Here is the original context [my comments
are added below]:

|
| Science differes from 'social-correctness'

It is the above paragraph to which I was referring
when I wrote, "Your 'criticisms', quoted below, would
only have validity if everything was already known.

Of course I was saying this with respect to this
or that contents of this or that post.

But, since you've pushed the point, I stand
on what I posted with respect to all of physical
reality. Infinity extends from everything.

We 'navigate' within this infinity of infinities through
the Brilliant 'engineering' of our nervous systems,
not because we know anything with Absolute-
Certainty.

If you 'think' you know anything with Absolute-
Certainty, run it by me, and I'll show you that
you don't.

How about "1 + 1 = 2"?

Seems pretty straightforward, no?

The 'traditional' view on it is, but it's
False.

"1", "+", "=" and "2" are representations.

It requires doing work to converge upon
any representation.

Doing work always dissipates energy.

So, although folks can 'agree' on the
'meanings' of "1", "+", "=" and "2",
not once, within any nervous system
are the underpinning energydynamics
ever the same.

Every instance of every Person's "1 + 1 = 2"
is not even close to being "the same".

It's the same with respect to everything
within physical reality.

"1 + 1 = 2" just 'ignores' the underpinning
Truth, saying that "1 + 1 = 2" is "known",
but it isn't actually "known". It's 'just'
Agreed-upon.

So, there's a lot of work to do in Science.

You're right about my private Life.

I mostly use my 'brilliance' to lift-folks-up,
without their knowing that I'm doing so.

It's fun.

Just wish someone would do it back, a bit.

Especially "Her". [Only kidding, I'm too old.
But I did have a dream about Rene Zelweger[sp?]
last 'night' :-]

[It's getting close to Spring 'time', you 'know'.]

Anyway, in the future, please retain the entire
context of any post of mine that you intend to
'jump'.

Everything, in all my posts, is in-there for a
Reason that has to do with the "representation"
stuff that I discussed above.

Changing what I say, and saying it's 'what I said',
is inherently Problematical with respect to your
intended 'purpose', no?

Yup.
