There's a big difference between a Cosmic fool(and I might agree with you) and a plain fool. :grin: In the end we fool ourselves don't you think?

I have often identified with the fool card. But in laying them I was moved most often a step forward to The Magus, the will to act. More than I could have hoped for at one time.

Nothing is absolutely certain, including the notion that nothing is absolutely certain.

Why not? Science depends on such questions. The true test of a hypothesis is not whether it can gain evidence, something nearly any hypothesis can easily do, but whether it can resist falsification. (Not to be confused with being unfalsifable.) Much 'knowledge' has been overthrown by new information.

Poorly phrased question. But I think you know what I mean. The point was simply that One does not need to know EVERYTHING in order to know ANYTHING.


We can trust scientific conclusions as the best information we currently have available, but I think it is quite irrational to believe in them religiously.

What if someone religiously, fanatically believed precisely that? :tongue:

Silversoul is back? What happened to Paradigm? I thought you abandoned the Silversoul name along with it's long, long history for good. What made you change your mind?

Let's just say that a gathering with some old friends, mixed with large quantities of acid helped change my perspective.
