OF COURSE.
But there are some 'things' which ARE VERY IMPORTANT to EVERY one.
For that one only has to study the Church Fathers for they, it seems to me, are the ones who planted the seeds of what became the Medieval conceptual order. With all the studies expended on it wouldn't we already know what its roots are? What invariably emerges is that all metaphysic is subject to time's corrosion and old systems break down; call it the Götterdämmerung effect!Alexis Jacobi wrote: ↑Fri Mar 31, 2023 12:34 pmThis is one of the reasons it became important, for me, to examine the roots of Occidental religiousness located in a Medieval conceptual order.
A virtual reality in the context discussed, is a metaphysical one, i.e., one which the brain itself is solely responsible for having created. Based on the periods pertaining, it may accept the influx of divine revelations guiding it eliciting the conclusion that all such virtual realities are portable since the psyche itself is in constant flux subject as much to the chemistry of internal and external inputs in establishing its perspectives. The best a severely corroded belief system can leave behind are its rituals where traditions for a while successfully replace beliefs remaining effective as active memories.Alexis Jacobi wrote: ↑Fri Mar 31, 2023 12:34 pmThere is something else which you seem to allude to: the refinement of virtual realities. If one particular manifestation is crude or outmoded how can it, or can it, be refined?
A principle is only that within said metaphysical context, denoted as unimpeachable when raised to the condition of a near absolute either scholastically or by authority usually the two conjoining to create its own granite reality.Alexis Jacobi wrote: ↑Fri Mar 31, 2023 12:34 pmWhat about ‘principles’? These can only be virtual. They are metaphysical then? And as such do they ‘stand behind’ all particular virtual realities?
I skimmed through parts of the web page. I guess the first thing that popped into my mind is that, based on what seems to be criticism of philosophical elitism--philosophy derived from the exploration of ideas by 'armchair' participants in a "non-communal" way, then where does the author of that webpage stand in relation to that which is being criticised? Is the author of the webpage engaging in this philosophical elitism in sorting through abstract ideas while writing the webpage?promethean75 wrote: ↑Sat Apr 01, 2023 11:55 am U musta missed this the first time I posted it a year ago, Dub.

No. It's not God's call if it's going to cause damage like that. It's something other than God. I don't know what, but it's not God and I pray God will come to our rescue. Somehow.iambiguous wrote: ↑Fri Apr 14, 2023 2:24 am "Experts on alert for MEGAQUAKE off US coast due to hole on fault line
Scientists fear a hole in a 600-mile-long fault line in the Pacific could trigger a catastrophic earthquake that would decimate cities along the northwestern US.
The hole spewing hot liquid sits 50 miles off the shoreline of Oregon, on the boundary of the dipping fault known as Cascadia Subduction Zone, which spans from Northern California into Canada.
This geological feature is capable of unleashing a magnitude-9 earthquake in the Pacific Northwest - and the hole could be the fuel it needs."

It's natural to express fear of imminent death in irrational prayers. But from your present tranquil state , what sort of deity comes to the rescue of individuals? At this juncture the question is are you going to believe miracles are vanishingly improbable?Gary Childress wrote: ↑Fri Apr 14, 2023 3:00 amNo. It's not God's call if it's going to cause damage like that.
