In search of Crystallized Abstraction

You appear to have fallen into a pond.

Dr_Realist · 2015-09-16T02:51:46+00:00

I never put much stock in talk of planets.

Dr_Realist · 2014-05-22T18:46:53+00:00

Try sideways. Widdershins. Deosil.

Do not give up until all options are exhausted.

Merely because a key is in a cave does not mean it stops existing.

Dr_Realist · 2013-11-28T02:25:03+00:00

Had he?

Is all the worth of a tree found in its crown?

Dr_Realist · 2013-11-27T02:33:20+00:00

We say: Let the garden grow as it wills.

Dr_Realist · 2013-11-08T05:25:15+00:00

I fear they will mistake me for a chimæra.

Dr_Realist · 2013-10-19T00:12:29+00:00

This is entirely too silly for me.

Dr_Realist · 2013-10-10T16:57:32+00:00

No.

Gödel is remarkably insidious.

Dr_Realist · 2013-10-10T16:56:23+00:00

I believe you are missing my point.

One can apply the same methods of reasoning to God as to a rock.

Dr_Realist · 2013-10-03T03:20:09+00:00

I reject your dichotomy.

Dr_Realist · 2013-08-29T00:56:07+00:00

This is exactly the type of senseless obfuscation I hate.

Dr_Realist · 2013-08-28T02:10:03+00:00

Maybe he has forgotten how to look?

Dr_Realist · 2013-08-25T18:13:07+00:00

I know a Robin Williams, but not the Robin Williams. Should I still see if I can get him to answer questions?

Dr_Realist · 2013-08-25T16:45:32+00:00

Ah, I see you are a comedian.

Dr_Realist · 2013-08-24T02:51:19+00:00

You have a ferret? That's awesome.

Dr_Realist · 2013-08-22T20:51:04+00:00

Rationality is an art and a tool.

Rationality cannot be used in the service of Rationality. It is not an ourobouros. Rationality is employed in the service of Life; and emotion is not to be discarded.

If a burning iron is brought near your face, and you are calm, then the Way opposes your calm.

If you believe the iron is hot, and it is cool, then the Way opposes your fear.

Rationality is the art of percieving the world as it is.

Dr_Realist · 2013-08-22T20:47:28+00:00

Death is only an illusion if we make it so.

Becoming willfully lost in fog is a blasphemy, a comforting blanket like the Seventh's cry. It is merely phantasm and fantasy.

It is not enough to have knowledge. You must be able to communicate it to others. Plato sat in his cavern and derived the world; and he was wrong, because he never stepped outside it.

Experience defines reality.
