Hi Tobi, You can critique science on political and economic grounds. But that would be different from the arguments of cycle framework. No, it's metap...
No, it isn't an artificial distinction. There's more to it. Please argue from the organic standpoint of evolutionary theory, where the environment pro...
I'd like to clarify a few points. The critique against science, insofar as the decline theorists are concerned, has always been metaphysical. That is,...
While I don't deny this corporate reality, this is not what a true cycle theorist points to in their criticism of science. Maybe this comes as a surpr...
:grin: We have everything we need to prevent the fall into ignorance. Very well enunciated! No one is truly anti-rationality. We will know when we get...
To be honest, I really can't decide. For one thing, we can't undo facts. Yes! We want to smell the earth not hide behind the theory of numbers and sym...
The cyclicists actually have a refined notion of cycles. And it has nothing to do with resurgent. A phenomenon of cycle has a beginning not yet mature...
I'm glad you mentioned "anti-science", because this is another issue apart from the decline theory of science. Science cannot be ruined by the anti-sc...
Just to clear up some things. The organic cyclical school of thought is what we're trying to attack here. I don't subscribe to the idea of "decay" rig...
I can refer you to @"I love Chom-choms" post as this is a good suggestion. Although we don't need to get there. Science will declare its best achievem...
And indeed, it doesn't. So where does it start or what will cause the eventual demise? From within the authority of science. That's where. Now, this i...
Hey guys, a lot to address. I am impressed at the quick but sharp replies from you. More than I expected. This is a very important question pertaining...
As a matter of fact, this is not my original idea or postulate. There are philosophers who wrote about this. I think we should examine why they say wh...
Fair point. My first post addressed the idea that length of time is not an indication of success. And indeed, we shall reach the glorious era when our...
'Succumb' sounds like science has a good fight to make here. Point #1 says it doesn't. It 'will' happen according to cyclical thinking. I think at thi...
Again, please see my first post -- I shall add that it's loaded when I say "darker" reality. We are used to hearing anti-vaccines, creationism, supers...
I think this goes without saying. Please see my first point. The cyclical-development thinking has already taken into consideration the maximum advanc...
Not true. And this hurts somehow. Someone has put my insides on fire and I can't put it out. It hurts, especially because I know I won't be going out ...
It depends on what immortality is. If it means continuing to live without the requisite necessities - basic needs, ambition, relationships, and curios...
Some people might think this talk about living longer is now cliche and serves nothing but personal selfish desire. However, if you think in terms of ...
People living a lot longer. There's a scientist who's betting there is already a person living among us who is going to reach 150 years old for sure. ...
As some philosophers have always said in more ways than one, if everything looks good, then nothing is good. Boredom is not the issue here. People get...
