You need to define context. Apparent reality is a subjective experience creating its own context as a biological readout of the energies affecting the body. As stated in modern physics, ultimate reality is a place of no things, nothing but energies in other words.popeye1945 wrote: ↑Fri Sep 02, 2022 10:38 amTruth to the individual is experience, truth to the group is agreement, neither of which is infallible. Second thought, fallibility or infallibility are both relative to biology thus, I guess you could say that biological readout is absolute, in that it is always true to the state of one's biology.Eodnhoj7 wrote: ↑Fri Sep 02, 2022 12:04 am1. But "truth is experience/knowledge and is always relative to the state of one's biology" is an absolute statement; anything which is "always" is absolute as it is unchanging. This is absolute and it is a truth.popeye1945 wrote: ↑Wed Aug 31, 2022 2:00 am
Eodnhoj7,
Truth is not absolute, truth is experience/knowledge and is always relative to the state of one's biology. What is fundamental is the relation of subject and object. Relativity is meaning as the interconnection of all things relative to one's biology. The only absolute is the inseparability of subject and object as the ultimate relativity. Truth to us is limited to our experience thus it is our everyday reality or apparent reality, a reactionary manifestation of the reactions of biology. There are two levels of reality, an apparent and ultimate and ultimate reality we have no access to we simply probe and poke at it with our limited knowledge of physics. To quote Schopenhauer on the nature of apparent reality, "When biology closes its eyes in death a world ceases to be." In other words, a subject has been subtracted from the relation between subject and object, and when that occurs the world as object ceases to be as well. Relativity is subject/object united and always the property of a conscious subject for all meaning is biological experience.
2. This leads to another paradox: "Universal relativity" is an absolute truth as it is unchanging and stands on its own considering being is relative to being thus only being exists furthermore making being absolute. Dually, if everything is relative this truth is absolute as context is absolute; there only exists context.
3. There exist a variety of phenomena. Biology is one of these phenomenon. In observing the primary root of the relationships between many phenomenon anything can be chosen as there are no rules as to where to start a judgement. Biology is one root cause. Psychology is another. Math is another. Economics is another. Spirituality is another. Chemistry, which is a root of biology, is another. So on an so forth. Anything can be chosen as a starting point given one has justifications to follow it. Because anything can be chosen the nature of a root cause becomes ambiguous because it, ie the root cause, can equate to everything. Universal equanimity is no-thingness because there are no distinctions considering everything is the same.

There is only one root cause and that is the relation between subject and object, the energies of ultimate reality affect biological consciousness giving experience/meaning/knowledge. In the absence of a conscious subject the physical world is meaningless, it can only become meaningful through meaning being bestowed upon it by a conscious subject. All your above qualifications are of a biological origin.

1. The above depends upon experience and group agreement thus is fallible.
2. Context is the phenomenon through which another phenomenon exists. Given being occurs through being context is universal and absolute.
3. If all reality is reducible to energy then energy means nothing as only energy exists; that which exists without comparison through self referentiality, ie energy in this case, lacks distinction because of an absence of contrast.
4. But biology alone results in a regress of causes therefore biology cannot be the starting point. Biology reduces to chemistry, chemistry to physics, physics to math (given if all is matter then math is matter given consciousness is matter), math to logic, logic to psychology, etc.. If we don't end in an infinite regress of causes then we end in a loop; either way cause becomes indefinite.
