Atheism, Theism, nihilism are all matters of faith, not subject to rational testing or proof. Hence the only rational, if in a rational world/universe choice is agnosticism or damnedifIknow.
Having said that I've seen and experienced far too much over the years that absolutely, unarguably defies rational explanation to allow me be really agnostic. Yes agnosticism can get you through a day but is it the best way, or even a way to get you through a life, pray tell?
Some, much you just have to take on trust, or in other words, faith.
Thank you, Melissa. Yup, Blind Faith is the way most people seem to live. Wall Street’s primary in that respect. Casinos as well and the avoidance of stepping on sidewalk cracks. LOL.
We hope for the best to come to us; but, one ten mile large impactor at Chicxulub did for the dinosaurs. There is so much we don’t know and cannot predict, regardless of how intelligent we perceive ourselves.
I recently came across your post on ' A case against Nihilism'. I thought it was absolutely wonderful. Your writing style and your insights all came together into one place for those reading to learn plenty. Brilliant.
I run a podcast called ' A Bloke Talking', where we aim to bring the creative, explorative elements of our minds and our capacity for raw information together to create a conversation that is entertaining, but packed with potential for growth.
With that in mind, it'd be incredible to have you on as a guest. Your work should be as widespread as possible.
That was beautiful. Just what I needed to hear (er, I mean, read) today.
