On ''what there is''


The question looks ''philosophical'' in the sense of ''what exist?''. In the old terminology ''ontology question''.
The modern formulation (by Quine) is: ''what are the values of your variables''? In our hobby ''what are
the new available components''?  Can one person know what are available components? Obviously not
but we have ''collective knowledge''. Each contribution is welcome. Like in science. But like in science there
are individuals with special contributions. Raul with his MM contributions and his ''successor'' chakster
with his contributions about ''both kinds'': MC's and MM's. Despite his ''modest means''. I think we should
be thankful to have such individuals.

@magister i appreciate that you recognize the need for a “ master “, teacher, sensei, etc…..
 Thanks :)

 But it is less a need than an humble admission of my limitations...

 I was teaching reading methods and one day a student ask me to make a list of my "gurus"...

I stop at 80 and it was 30 years ago....
i prefer to think that Dietrich Bonhoeffer had better to say and importantly DO. Sad we didn’t get the expected outcome…..
 You are right here....

 A giant.... but history is not finished yet....

 Some dont think that consciousness exist... For me death dont exist, suffering only exist...The body is a marvellous speck of dust...Nothing more...
Fact is just a particular probability density function, fleeting as that might be… Even the so called God Particle lives but a short “ life “.
Facts are way more hard and comes from a way more deep layer of meaning than probability function... :)

I recomment to you the books of Bernard Mandelbrot and his disciple : Nassim Nicholas Taleb...

And quantum theory is an expression of ultimate consciousness not his root...

Materialism die suddenly with Planck first and Heisenberg....Journalist had not noted that yet... :)

By the way there is 2 sigificant event in my life : love and prime numbers distribution....Bach is the sum of the 2 for me in music....Sun RA is an "error" i will die to keep with me....

😊
Anyway yeah, I am thankful we have Raul and chakster. We now return you to the thread with the most entertainingly misleading title ever.
