Me thinks that in the days of old around the 1500 to 1600 a couple of well knowns in the formation of modern epistemology and thought, should best have been aborted such that the future could have taken a different tact. I refer here to the two overly rated and much revered Francis Bacon and Rene Decarte. Ms. Decarte helped us to find our selves with the supposition that we did not know where we were, or even if we existed for that matter.... (What irony). He did ultimately have his "eureka" Moment where he discovered cogito ergo sum Satisfied that because he thought he must exist. Although wholey original in thought for it's time....., the idea is just another ideosycracy of the the human faculties limitation with regard to the sensibilities of time and space. But it was, Oh..so trendy an idea and oh so satifying to the budding ego of the era of the Renaissance And hence wholey sensible to my idea of abortion for he and his previously "Reborn" coetaneous cohort Francis Bacon. Where as Decarte only discovered he existed (in a rather fatuous way) and where we and he were and could be found as if we needed to be.... Francis Bacon did a lot of arm chair psychobable of his own. He wasn't a scientist. He did no pioneering research or work for that matter in any field whatsoever that we know of. He was spoken of by his peers as to not have even had a proper grasp of the methods of scientific investigation of his own time,...Yet he had the gall to to pride himself in being the archetect of a revolutionary advance in the scientific method. (Popper had quite a bit to comment about in this area). Nevertheless these two were born and for some reason whether aptly accoladed or not, are thought to bear the sumptuous gift of reason and progress,.... and having brought man from a place along side other creatures in nature to a grand pedestal of importance and,.... the ontologically understood gradiosity of a being whose birthright (pun intended) was to go about building and progressing for the bettering and further enriching of mankind to whit.... with such a bulwork of "Steam Load Ahead", that, all the rest of creation be left to wither, if necessary in the process!! "All Else Be Damned for The Furtherance of Man." This could well have been there theme and Motto.
Allowing that history does have a tendency to get somewhat distorted; and, being that historians are persistently (via such is the ontology apriori.)looking for causes, and sources of ideas, firsts, and lasts, orders, and heirarchies. It is certainly possible that their roll might be very minimal in the foothold of such ideological changes in the evolution of thought in all of man and woman kind. For they must have had mothers no doubt, and it has been the nature of man for time in memorial to look to the parents as having a roll in the outcome and notieriety of their progeny.
All that having been said in finality there is not much to be said for the quest for a time travel to have the aformentioned men aborted. After all the quest to do it would be in the interest, enrichment, and betterment of all mankind. thus, even my own thoughts are infected by this ideological meme.
Such so, that now all aims of the betterment of mankind seem somehow to lie at the feet of this ontology of thought, Apriori, it is said, via the writings and thoughs of Bacon and Descarte. Around the circle I have traveled,.. yet have I found my self or the origin of my thought... is it really me? such that cogito ergo sum .?... and such an odd idea; for it has no place in Bacon's Revolution of the Scientific Method. For it has very little validation as a possible hypothesis and virtually no means of testing it with out predjudice. Variables cannot be isolated and the logic is circular.
But if Decarte be the culprit, what has been reeped in the long run is the triumph of Ego in man, and this if any theory of history hold true, the human race and civilization as we know it must undergo radical ideological change of some sort, back or forth, a new something or old; but a replacement of this mentality of separate self, least greed, and the disolution of the whole of civilization in a war of brands and corporations and a new genocide to come..... even as to this very day mankind thinks he has progressed so far. Today however millions die in war, starvation, disease and slavery. So in what nation do we erect our monument to acheivement? Rawanda? Sudan? Afghanistan? North Korea? The western coasts of Malaysia and the eastern of Sri Lanka and India? Maybe the outlands of Siberia? The Economies of South America Stolen and enslaved to the International Monetary Fund?? Maybe we Should build that symbol of progress where it once in reality stood on those acres of the TWIN TOWERS OF TRADE in New York. We must return to a time where we lose the SELF of MAYA and Live From the Self OF the great Unmanifested, THE self of the WHOLE, of all of man in unity, as he really is... but cannot see because of the illusion created from the misperception out of the sensibilities of time and space. Where Material is Preiminent. The Empirical the God of this Particular Scientific Revolution and it's structure (Thomas Khun)
Where do we go now ? Where do we go now? Stand in the place that you are>>>> lyrics you might recognize (two). adios for now
Deadsalive....just try to give something to someone for no reason and especially someone who doesn't deserve it!!!! That is
GRACE ....The giving of unmerited favor (the Bible) In so doing, you see the other in yourself, and yourself in the other, and if you have the thirst for knowing the truth, you can know this is reality, and it will set you free!! bye bye!
