Temple of the First Cause

Temple:

A place dedicated to a special purpose.

Cause:

A person, event, or condition responsible for an action or result.
(The American Heritage Dictionary, New College Edition 1976)

Religion

The universe holds mystery
unexplained by the formal systems of philosophy

emotional passion
experience of beauty
joy of children
dance of life

the art of being
.    .   .  . ..ripple in still water.. .  .   .    .

Philosophy taken for absolute
denies the infinite progression of possibility
spawned in our constant attempt
to capture some aspect of universal "Truth".

Metaphysics (Existence Exists)

A is A
A is a symbol Thus... Do not equate maps with territories.
A=A Thus... Dogma and perception do not change identity.
A={A,~A} Thus... Identity depends on both A and not-A.
A=F(a) Thus... The Universe changes.
A=? Thus... A symbol can represent anything.

Epistemology

Alone

 You are alone
only you can
feel your feelings
think your thoughts
move your body
You are alone
be not afraid
YOU ARE FREE
"Sum."  I am.  Direct...first person...a priori knowledge.
A brief essay on "non-contradictory identification".
"The scientific method -- guess, test, repeat -- is the best recipe yet discovered for finding closer and closer approximations to truth." - from Dave Krieger's Credo (see also Karl Popper)

Knowledge is Memetic.

Ethics

Nurture what you value.  Follow your dream.



Politics

  • ... I always liked the quote embroidered on my mother's guest tablecloth,
    "If you won't go away and leave me alone, I'll find someone who will!" - Robert Kelly
