Ok good. You're going to show me why intuition is not part of the first step of the scientific method as I explained. (since you brought it up)
Perhaps you will also try to show me why I'm wrong when I said that you think that intuition is somehow either better than or a replacement for the Scientific Method at making and verifying discoveries like relativity. (that you also brought up)
Quote:The very source of your life wouldn't care less whether you invent a spaceship to travel to other
planets in the universe or any other scientific discovery.
In the mind of this source everything that human beings discover is already there so no big deal
at all.
Life is all about discovering who we really are.
This is the big deal Crunchy.
All the rest is just a way to carry on in the quest for survival.
By concentrating all our energy in the quest for external deals and forgetting the real deal number one
people get lost and will have to carry on and on life after life chasing a folly that get them nowhere.
Good luck in your quest for the illusive McCoy.
So I was wrong. You're not just dumb you are disingenuous as well. You've ignored our conversation and instead decided to take it meta.
Going Meta is an old rhetorical trick of taking a debate or analysis to another level of abstraction so as to avoid admitting that you were wrong. In this case it's to claim intuition was better than science and then instead of defending that point, you go off on a tangent about what is really important to you.
You're not being very smart is not what bothers me Rik. What bothers me is this lack of sincerity in dealing with our conversation. Is this what yoga teaches you? Does yoga teach you that when you've made a mistake you should deflect and try to change the subject?
So I'll point out your error again: You think that intuition is somehow either better than or a replacement for the Scientific Method. This is incorrect.
Your choice is to either try and prove why that's incorrect or to accept you've made a mistake.
Waxing philosophical about the true meaning of life instead of addressing the mistake you've made is a slimy way out. Let me repeat and emphasize: it's a slimy tactic to protect your fragile ego.
I'm willing to have a conversation with anyone Rik, but I don't tolerate disingenuous people and I certainly have no interest in talking to someone who behaves this way. If you're unwilling to have an honest discussion I see no need to ever listen to word you say on any subject.
If god was real he wouldn't need middle men to explain his wants or do his bidding.
