| Reality - what reality, was it tested?
Is math reality?
A theory is based on an interpretation of known data.
If later data presented by a peer review shows that the data was not correctly interpreted, or if real life experience finds it was not correct, then the the theory is simply discarded, and only of importance perhaps for historical reasons.
If the theory is mostly correct as later demonstrated, then that theory will become important for form then on for many reasons. But theory making is taking a risk, first you must be (as Terrence MeKenna once said) your own cirtic, you gotta review your theory from all sides, work out the weak points so it can hold up under peer review. Then you toss it out and whatever happens with it happens. And you must be well read concerning all background and aspects of the theory being developed, which Terrence did.
I am not advocating that any theory must be viewed as some absolute truth, or that we must have faith because a lot of evidence was presented. They are just to make us think, to wonder, and to check out as time passes.
You see Starboy, you have refused to even explore the theory, you did not state one reason you think the theory is faulted, or one reason why you might agree - you avoided all that with a pre=established opinion.
Likewise you did not omment line-for-line any reasoning I presented. Needless to say I do not own a testing lab with a staff of people to do any testing. McKenna on the other hand hung out with many of the best minds of this generation and spoke at top universities and conferences. And has had published about 10 books and papers. RE: Amazon.com
Reality is just something that vanishes in the wake of another reality, is it logical to build a house on shifting sand?
