Answering some nagging philosophical questions

Structurally sound assumptions may be made by simply denying all assumptions that may be made until they prove themselves otherwise.  This is why science is still so relevant because science is the purest natural expression of logic.  However, such an important distinction and framing needs the further question: for what does logic serve human beings?  The straightest answer I can give you is, while some will claim that a sound assumption denies its opposite, the truth is that a denial of the truth denies itself, and that’s why the truth is true, since Socrates.  The establishment of truth has been difficult since then.  Do you follow what I’m saying?  Logically speaking, logic is truth, but truth is not logic.  So we enter a dialectic.  The distinction but not difference between facts and actualities is the difference in making sense of it here.  The truth is a fact that became an actuality.

beyond necessary

  In the future, we must cleave to a principle of liberation and follow the right of self-determination wherever it might lead. The old saw of “every thing in its right place” has been shown to turn on subjective and not upon truthful measures - whose idea of what is the “right place” prevails, and for whom is it the “right place”? Are questions that after long experience always revealed strength and power, not reason nor rational government, have been behind the propagation of such a saying. The “right place of everything” comes from an ancient time when the mechanism for discovering the truth was still mistaken for the truth itself. It is assuredly not the case that if every “thing” has a “right place” it isn’t constituted in some transparent organizational scheme; and, although the evolution of knowledge may not be at its bitter end, it seems more likely that the proper “place” for every thing will fill space like the thousand points of light in the night sky of the visible univ...

Context We are not just seeing the emergence of new technologies in this age of humanity but also the emergence of new ideas.   Not only the ability to quickly reproduce works of art and literature but also to dig much deeper into the strategies that move populations to act and think.   Somewhere in the sea of information you can find every day some instance of data, some fact or observation that has been harvested so early it shapes the development of public awareness long after the anonymity of the passing time renders the source of the idea unknowable.  Something will show up, and it will be a few months or so, or longer, and it will show up again, but with more force of one kind or another.  And of course the question that it raises is what is happening in the meantime between when ideas first show up and when they become popular at least for a short time and the answer is that it is changing the narrative in someone’s brain about how they perceive themselves ...
