wolven7Thinking about meta-systems theory, and a beneficial use for doublethink: To fully immerse yourself in all points of view, long enough to understand them and then move outward to a meta-level of thought, integrating them into a more full and cohesive view of the universe.
In this idea-scheme, so-called contradictions between systems are meaningless, as the über-systems contain and account for the infinite combinations of infinties, allowing for... anything.
Several questions arise:
1) How do/can we know that we exist in this kind of [infinite]X[infinite] reality matrix?
2) In such a matrix, isn't the negation of the continuation of the Matrix necessarily exisitent?
3) How do we function, in such a reality?
If we can adequately answer these questions, we can come to an understanding of Truth and Fact to be constantly in flux, as the universe And Its Components grow, change, and become more, then we can more easily apprehend the argument that Infinity Is Paradox; that limitation seeking to break itself is the nature of learning and understanding.
Another problem is of reconciling this with any kind of fanaticism.
What tells you that God loves only you? That "delusional" mindsets may not be beneficial for learning, growth, and moving forward? Why must the infidels be destroyed, rather than taught, shown your Better way, and then Ignored?
Try something like, "You're engaging in a practice I'd rather not be a part of. I consider it unhelpful for species advancement. If you cannot or will not stop, you or I should Go."
Or some fucking thing. Seriously. Why will it not work? More importantly, how could it work Better?
More tomorrow.
