To use a painfu...I think you're exactly right. To use a painful example, I live very close to Arapahoe high school where the recent shooting was. I was very sad to the flood of 1-dimensional hypotheses as to what pushed the student over the line to become a killer. It seems nobody sees that it was a number of factors and catalysts that only as a sum caused to this tragedy...and this shortsightedness and will do nothing to prevent the next school shooting...<br />I'm glad Bruce kept blogging about Holons to to help me understand this myself!Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11127941109927842541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-927396480055054170.post-83955081380093354322014-01-30T19:05:13.342-05:002014-01-30T19:05:13.342-05:00Perhaps if information hadn't been divided up ...Perhaps if information hadn't been divided up into what we call various disciplines and treated as though there are separate and distinct categories we might make connections more easily.

It reminds me of "The Lathe of Heaven" by Ursula Leguinn. Not surprisingly perhaps she did some of the most cogent translations of Taoism. <br />This may or may not reflect how the paranormal is also lost in translation. Perhaps I have become somewhat cynical toward the goals of physics as they remain unexpressed, however it is not what they say, it's what they do. Considering most of our species has the aims of a 12 year old, what they don't express is the nature of their more emotionally based ambitions, which are easy to guess at considering the maturity involved.<br /> The old 'knowledge versus being" conundrum.<br />Bruce Duensinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06770861553045757360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-927396480055054170.post-11568492116488252092014-01-29T23:20:49.458-05:002014-01-29T23:20:49.458-05:00or as you pointed out earlier, "naive realism...or as you pointed out earlier, "naive realism".Michael Garretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14863313404953361727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-927396480055054170.post-69314856331451893302014-01-28T20:03:09.196-05:002014-01-28T20:03:09.196-05:00Neal

Even extending the geometry does not convince what is involved from choice. Even nailing down flux assumes the arrow of time is a mechanical, non sentient line of force. That is just rude, and dangerous to hide from, tends to build opposing lines of force, most with another frame of reference. I guess that is why space expands, when entire temporal events drop off the map, in response. Even Hawking has finally realized that information does not evaporate, just relocates in a confused state.<br /><br />I do not know if he will emote the temporal ramifications of that, or just try to make that fit into some mechanical thing. If he does not, that is OK, numbers do it all the time.nealhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10632021240126981592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-927396480055054170.post-38778014009298848462014-01-25T13:37:28.776-05:002014-01-25T13:37:28.776-05:00Sean

All four dogs of ours are vying for my attention nudging me as I wrote the first so a rewrite was due.<br />I agree with you to put it simply. Our theories appear to have evolved and have navigated a circular course but then looking deeper into it, we never left square one.Bruce Duensinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06770861553045757360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-927396480055054170.post-86201258937543438382014-01-25T13:29:43.558-05:002014-01-25T13:29:43.558-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Bruce Duensinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06770861553045757360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-927396480055054170.post-49958378553437231462014-01-25T12:51:59.052-05:002014-01-25T12:51:59.052-05:00"Not everything that can be counted counts, a..."Not everything that can be counted counts, and not everything that counts can be counted." — Albert Einstein<br /><br />A great post! The Valle/Davis paper defines the phenomena succinctly and better than anything else I've come across.<br /><br />It was a bit of a footnote in the above, but you really touched on something that has consistently bothered me as I've delved further into UFOlogy: how the likes of Valle, Keel (& others) have ultimately thrown in the "control system" to the mixture which is usually evil aliens/demons...as if they're pulling back the curtains and seeing the Wizard of Oz. To me it's always seemed like an example of "Deus ex machina".Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11127941109927842541noreply@blogger.com
