Do not think of sticking the pencil in your ***. I AM THE GREATEST.

Seems to me Michal’s goal is not ultimately to undermine what we know as physical reality. Rather, he’s trying to get down to truth. If what we think of as reality is just a creation of our minds, rather than absolute reality, there can be no truth.

Truth is the relationship between thought and reality, and if thought creates reality, there is no absolute truth. And if there is no absolute truth, there is no standard against which good and bad, right and wrong, can be judged.

Judgment is a very unpopular notion these days, and this post is a good illustration of the lengths to which people will go to avoid it.

Don’t get your panties all in a twist. I’m not being a snob, I just told you I don’t convey personal information until I’ve got something to gain from it (a closer to 1:1 correspondence to reality)

I don’t have to earn anything from you, I was just making conversation. Goodbye.

“Einstein was intelligent enough to know that his own theory is wrong, that is why for the rest of his days he tried to make a unified theory of everything.”
No. He knew it was incomplete, because quantum mechanics was formulated. His theory is deterministic, whereas the latter is probabilistic.

“Show me any scientific theory that doesn’t have holes in it, doesn’t have certain aspects that are simply ignored.”
What you call “ignoring” is part of the formulations of science. The boundaries within which theories work are part of the theory itself. Certainly, there are holes in theories, but that just means a better theory needs to be found, it isn’t proof that one doesn’t exist.

“What is your area of interest, your research?”
That’s personal information, and you haven’t earned the right to it yet.

Einstein was intelligent enough to know that his own theory is wrong that is why for the rest of his days he tried to make a unified theory of everything. But the world sort of picked his theory up as if it was the holy grail and the answer to all cosmological events. It is like this with every scientific theory. The deeper you study science and question it, the deeper into the rabbit hole you go. Show me any scientific theory that doesn’t have holes in it, doesn’t have certain aspects that are simply ignored. Our understanding of the world is a clever faccade hiding the truth. What is your area of interest, your research?

“The human mind is faulty by nature and I believe it can’t even approximate reality.”
If you start off on an arbitrary basis, you are arbitratily excluding a subset of reality.
Consider this. If you arbitrarily convince yourself there are only positive numbers, you are automatically excluding negative numbers. You can still do basic algebra, but you limit your scope unnecessarily.

“Your arguments did not convince anyone, except yourself. Try a different approach”
Complete and correct logical arguments fail to convince only blockheads. I’m not about to change my methods for the emotional validation of blockheads.

“The scientists that don’t ignore have their funds cut off because they come up with contradictory or simply outrageous conclusions and theories”
As clearly evidenced by Newton, Einstein, Curie, Schroedinger, etc. etc. That kind of outrageous I can live with.

“If you want to stay in the business of being a scientist you must follow the mainstream.”
I am being partially funded for my research. If I can get the full fund for my PhD, that would be kick ass.

bigbossSNK: If one formal system fails, use another formal system. I disavow all formal systems because they are a product of the human mind. The human mind is faulty by nature and I believe it can't even approximate reality. And I’ve explained why reality isn’t a dream, an illusion, a delusion or a simulation. Your arguments did not convince anyone, except yourself. Try a different approach. Scientists don’t ignore. If they do, they aren’t operating as scientists. The scientists that don't ignore have their funds cut off because they come up with contradictory or simply outrageous conclusions and theories. If you want to stay in the business of being a scientist you must follow the mainstream. It is like everything, money-driven.

And I’ve explained why reality isn’t a dream, an illusion, a delusion or a simulation.
Search for those words within the blog if you want to learn the truth about reality. Else, remain ignorant.
