' Wrote:Kudos, sir. Your position is intricate to say the least. However, simplicity of questioning serves man better than clothing a position in religion. Your stated desire of eliciting the use of our own "H.E.A.D." is a fallacy for man cannot not think. Your presumptions of a better way shows your "religion" has succumbed to temptations that befalls all, self-righteousness. In addition, I putforth thought is innate in man and only death negates (though I have yet to experience death so I must allow for thought in theory).
Plus, your challenge of "using of our own H.E.A.D." is, from my point of view, not much of a challenge. I levy upon you to "not think," and I contend it is an untenable goal, which none can achieve in life honestly.
Innate, perhaps; but surely atrophied to the point of blind obedience to the prevailing "paradigm".
The organ in question was apparently not only designed for the tedious uses most find sufficient; but also for glorious and amusing explorations into vistas not yet seen.
(And, I have a sneaking suspicion that you are completely aware of that, and are "having me on a bit".)
No matter. "Penso, quindi sono." or "Cogito, ergo sum.", if you prefer.
However, I prefer to believe "penso, quindi posso diventare."
