I'm simply here to offer up debate...simply because I fully enjoy the intellectual challenges and exchanges. I profess no otherworldly knowledge but rather suggest the possibility that reason may hold some limits thus, may not account for all of reality. Feel free to challenge this assertion at will...and, if possible, I will simply answer in kind.
The ball's in your court.
Debate? Well that's a 180 degree turn from what you claimed to be offering up a few pages ago. Debate requires some standard measure...a common system of considering claims shared by those engaged. Can't be reason, now can it, koan man?
Suppose that reason doesn't account for all reality, I have no reason to argue against that claim. How will you discuss those unreasonable things with me, or anyone? How should we assess unreasonable claims, or claims in which reason cannot be agreed to be applicable? Should we just roll off a list of claims at, around, and over each other? Is that debate? Is that challenging an assertion? What would be informative about that? Meh, in any case, OFC reason has limits..it self describes a great many. Is this yet another deepity offered as profundity?
What portions of reality, if you know of any, cannot be reasonably accounted for..and what steps in, where reason fails, to provide an account?
You tell me as that's precisely the goal of the koan. Give quiet contemplation a chance.
Some answers cannot be given in some pre-packaged, OTC, easily digestible way...as we're wont to feel entitled to.
Simply offering an alternative perspective....take it or leave it.
