The Extremis of Rationality
#6
RE: The Extremis of Rationality
(November 8, 2015 at 3:08 pm)Faith No More Wrote: A minor quibble.  It should be "The Extremis of Human Rationality."  Sure, it all seems absurd when you try to wrap your head around it, but clearly the answer to time is either absurd or something we can't even possibly fathom.  Whatever the answer, the universe cares not for our inability to understand, and to say rationality itself fails to understand this isn't really true.  It could be understood using rationality by a hyper-intelligent being, so really it is human rationality that has its limitations.
Sure, but that sounds to me like those who say God's thoughts are nothing like human thoughts. What then is it that allows us to identify that supra-rationality to be rational at all?
