Science is Dead!

[Gary Childress]

If nothing matters, does it even matter if nothing matters? I mean, if nothing matters then it would be "something" wouldn't it? And if it were something, then it would matter and it would therefore no longer not matter.

[Gary Childress]

Take that Hawking!!!

[Veritas Aequitas]

Nah!

Science [etymology: to know] is merely a tool that has a self-honing mechanism.

Newtonian science got blunt and was sharpened by Einsteinian science which was sharpened by QM and so on it goes.

Science with its self-honing mechanism will continue to sharpen itself with new vista of reality conditioned upon a human-based FSK. [note human-based].

Science will not die as long as there are humans.

''Across the plains of consciousness, we have to live with the paradox that opposite things can be simultaneously true.''



''Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind.''


Ultimately, nothing matters and everything matters. In this conception.

''In every truth, the opposite is equally true. A truth can only be expressed and enveloped in words if it is one-sided.''

Who needs love of wisdom when scientists can build devices on their own that are capable of murdering people exponentially more efficiently than prior technology? And who in their right mind is going to argue with someone who has that power? All hail science!

[Dontaskme]

Wisdom is knowing we're all going to die one day, so we love that knowledge, especially since death is our only escape hatch through and out of this hell hole of a life. The one we made for ourselves...albeit death being only a temporal retreat.
Who knows!? ..watch this ( S . P . A . C . E )

Science is a tool and like swords cut both ways.

Yes, we need wisdom but more so, what we need is morality-proper; to do so, we need to unfold the inherent moral potential within ALL humans.
How?
To do unfold the moral potential to its effective potential we need science to dig into the precision mechanism of the moral function to enable it to work effectively.

I have raised more than 250 threads in the Ethics Section here on how to increase the moral competence of all human beings.

OK. OK. I'll appoint you as head of the class. Take my seat. I quit. Enjoy tenure, the soda machine in the lounge is free for those who have it.

As folks who have dangled on the precipice know, what matters in the universe is the placement of your own personal intent cajoined with your own personal attention. The two naturally co-arise but they tend to stray apart when distracted or divorced from one another, over time, due to emotional entanglement with experiences.

“Your,” in this definition means Awareness filtered by the inherent limitations of sensory acuity which is found in any particular living form. After the limitations of form, the meaning of the acuity gets further filtered when the form isn't functioning according to designed specifications. Broadly speaking, this is due to a lack of clarity, i.e., a muddle.

“Intent,” in this definition means mindfulness of why you are doing what you are doing when you pause to think about it, which enables intent to survive when mindfulness wanders away, hopefully to eventually return.

When you forget these definitions of what you are and why you move, then you’re apt to say I am this or I am that, thus committing a description rather than performing a definition.

In the second quote above you describe a personal need to abdicate the focus of why you are here and what you are doing.

Thus your mission, should you need to accept it, is to take this higher while remembering that attempts at cleverness will likely stumble. It matters simply because this is where attention and intent have naturally alighted, and the moment of your response is the culumation of your existence up to this point, and the buffet is the universe. (The corny buffet reference being an example of stumble.)

Scientists do not hold the power.
People like Musk do.

Wow! It's so rare that I agree with Walker on anything because most of his delusional posts are completely skewed and convoluted muck... but I'll be honest and admit that I agree with what he says in that one paragraph.

One's reality and experience are greatly created/driven by their intention and attention. Until one learns to be more conscious in regard to those, that person will be tossed about chaotically by waves instead of charting much more smoothly through them. What you focus on persists!

Oh stop, I'm blushing.

Funny it all looks like gibberish to me. You neurotypicals will never understand what you all can't understand. You should all try to fix yourselves instead of people you don't understand. Leave me alone. Go mess up someone else's day.

If you don't like the responses to the things you've said, then maybe stop using this forum as your personal depression diary. You moan and groan on a public forum, and then tell people to leave you alone.

And none of you leave me alone when I tell you to leave me alone. Sounds like you all have a problem to me.
