#metaphysics

10 posts9 participants2 posts today

We need to start teaching kids metaphysics instead of teaching kids religion.

Religion isn't science. You will get caught in the middle just thinking are you going to buy those stories?

Metaphysics aren't matter of faith, but we need a common language - a new frameset.

If kids were raised learning that reality is structured like music, energy, and consciousness patterns, we'd raise more free thinkers, innovators, and peacekeepers—not just believers.

We could start with a game, which would animate the four elements:

Earth: building, grounding, safety

Fire: imagination, courage, passion

Air: curiosity, thoughts, communication

Water: feelings, change, flow.

Then they would have basics to learn the four fundamental forces.

And when their actions becomes water and thoughts become fire, earth becomes the grounded manifestation of spirit—reality shaped by will, not inertia and air becomes the breath of inspiration - no longer chaotic chatter but clear communication with the Self and the Cosmos, magic will happen.

It might be nice to submit this to @quantumjournal, except that means dealing with the evil axis of @arxiv_physics and their "preprint" gatekeeping. I think I'll pass...

(and... Why do I have to select my own editors? That's just more gatekeeping)

@paninid fast forward to the present and scientists who barely study #philosophy label #metaphysics as #pseudoscience (forgetting what #PhD means), torment #logic for the benefit of "elegant" #math equations (e.g. antimatter, dark #matter), and design #AI #systems that weaponize #ethics as justification for #information #censorship (#ChatGPT "knows" but refuses to answer how to a hot wire a car or commit murder while claiming no #opinion, ignorant that words and actions are different)

#Aristotle named five interlinked Noble Sciences which together make up #Philosophy.

- #Metaphysics: the study of existence, the nature of the universe and all its contents

- #Logic: the ways we may know something, the set of permissible conclusions we may draw based on our perceptions, and some sensible rules of deduction and inference

- #Ethics: what we know about man and what we may deduce and infer (through Logic) about acceptable interactions between pairs of individuals

Comprehensive Guide to the Major Branches of Philosophy

Philosophy shapes the way we think, reason, and understand the world. If you're exploring ethics, knowledge, or reality itself, philosophy offers deep insights that influence science, law, and everyday decision-making.

Here’s a breakdown of the major branches of philosophy:

These branches continue to shape modern discussions in AI, law, and human rights.

I’m just about to be on the road again, to talk about proof theory, modal logic, a hint of medieval logic, and even a tiny smidgen of metaphysics.

On this little European jaunt, the first stop is Prague, then Vienna, and at the end, Amsterdam. I’m looking forward to meeting old friends and making new ones. If you’re in that part of the world, and you’re into that sort of thing, I’d love to see you.

The #metamathematics - isn't it #metalogical?!?

- a setting of the #ontology of #mathematics or #metalogics -

Now that I have tried to take a look behind or in front of physics in the form of #metaphysics, a fundamental consideration of #mathematics as #metamathematics is now due. In this context, I will of course also address the well-known #fundamental #crisis of mathematics.

#Zoomposium with Professor Dr. #Gerd #Ganteför: "The enigmatic fabric of our #reality and the #limits of #physics"

The #interview pursues the goal of exploring the "#metaphysics of physics", i.e. the "limits of physics" once more in more detail with our questions to Professor Dr. Gerd Ganteför, and in doing so also to address our "possible #reality".

The complete interview is available on under: youtu.be/V4pUEEtFCUo
