Pascal-thought, a philosophical constant in human affairs:
“The "mysterianism" I advocate is really nothing more than the acknowledgment that human intelligence is a local, contingent, temporal, practical and expendable feature of life on earth - an incremental adaptation based on earlier forms of intelligence that no one would regard as faintly omniscient. The current state of the philosophy of mind, from my point of view, is just a reflection of one evolutionary time-slice of a particular bipedal species on a particular humid planet at this fleeting moment in cosmic history - as is everything else about the human animal. There is more ignorance in it than knowledge.”

Re: "Mysterianism"
Interesting Tom. Thanks for the link. Will have to read it, think about it, repeat. Probably two or three times. Will get back to you later.
