APPARENT REALITY AS A SELF- SEMULATION

Post by popeye1945 »

How does our everyday reality come about; I believe Spinoza held the key. He told us how we come to know the world of objects through their altering of our physical body in one sense or another. We are sensing knowers of object's meanings, relative to our bodies and the processes of our understanding. It is as if the environment is playing us like a musical instrument and the tune it plays upon us is an apparent reality. The irony is that only the instrument hears this melody for it is a self-simulation, a self-creation. This was not Spinoza's conclusion, but then he was a philosopher of the seventeenth century understanding the science of the seventeenth century. He took appearance as reality in believing in the world of objects. Quantum mechanics infers something different that all is energy. Embracing such understandings, one is drawn to speculate that apparent reality the world of objects is not reality; it is real only for biological subjects. We are entrapped in our own subjectivity, yet the mind is free to wander with any new information science eeks out of nature and the cosmos. So, what say you?

If you're in America, go east. If you're in Cambodia, go west. If you're feelin' really, really cold, you're at the right spot.

Self-simulation, Droste?
