Mary is trapped in texts…her deference to popularity and iconography constitutes her inability to offer any novel insights.
All she has is her repeating mantra… going in circles for months, years… decades…
Mary cannot offer any alternatives so she simply belittles or dismisses or accuses that which she cannot surpass.
Her inability to reason is displayed in her resistance to another superiority. she cannot accept, unless it is popular and collectively sectioned.
She’s been collectivized…and wants everyone to join her herd.
“* Why something instead of nothing?”
There is both.
I’ve explained these concepts to Mary, but she cannot comprehend, so she repeats the same questions, as if nothing has been said about them…ever…by anyone.
No-thing - refers to chaos…not nothingness, as in void, non-existence…
Why Mary?
Because only chaos denies the mind what it requires to fabricate abstractions it calls “things.”
So, chaos is a state of no-thingness.
Things, Mary, are mental contradicts… they do not ‘exist’ outside mammalian brains, and there they exist as representations of perceived energy patterns.
If you, or your idols, have a better, a superior explanation, then present it Mary.
Let it be judged on its merits, dear Mary Land.
“* Why this something and not something else?”
This has been answered, as well…this version of cosmos is the one that had the energy balances to make life possible.
This does not mean all the others before or after, will be the same.
Every iteration is different in the cosmological cycles.
- Where does the human condition fit into the whole
understanding of this particular something itself?
To be determined by humans and their CHOICES.
To be determined by the outcome of the conflict between ideologies.
“* What of solipsism, sim worlds, dream worlds, the Matrix?”
Mary is stuck on pop-philosophy… brain in the vat and all thar shit her American upbringing exposed her.
Unless she has an argument that can challenge experience, the "what if’ remains…
A proposition is evaluated on its merits…not that it can be posited.
Just because something exists does not mean it is as good as everything that exists.
Natural selection terrifies Mary…she has a psychological block that she will not, chooses not, to overcome.
If any cockamamie theory were taken as the equal of a rational theory, then no progress would have ever been achieved… anywhere, in any field. Mary’s ilk would be respectable then. possibility.
That a question can be asked does not mean it can or should be answered… especially when it is leading, like all of Mary’s queries are.
If she has no rational arguments, no evidence to support her theories then they should be filed where the sun don’t shine… along with all of Mary’s blabbering.
A theory. Still unsubstantiated.
Another unsubstantiated theory, dependent on a particular definition of the ‘god’ concept.
In general, ‘god’ represents an idealization of man, or a representation of everything man finds incomprehensible and threatening…a way of placating what he fears.
Like all theories, the one proposing them is burdened with providing evidence and arguments, that will be judged on their merits.
That the question is repeatedly asked does not validate the concept.
But Mary cannot understand natural selection and how it also applies to ideas.
In her girly mind, whatever exits is the equal of all that exists… because it has been determined.
So, every theory, ever thought, is, in her mind, another explanation, no less probable than any other.
This is why Mary wants to remain up in the skyhooks, where she can selectively dismiss, and find purpose in undermining all threatening ideas, indirectly promoting collectivism.
For where do desperate degenerates turn when they’ve lost all hope, their way, their mind?
To others of their kind.
Note to Others
Look what I will make her do.
Look at what I’ve reduced her.
Bets are on…which of her canned responses will she CHOOSE to use… or will she be flustered and CHOOSE to not reply? No choice is also a CHOICE.
Note to Others
Isn’t it wonderful…everyone has a “syndrome” except Mary.
Mary is healthy. She’s sane…as she admits that she’s suffering an identity crisis…she’s schizophrenic - “fractured and fragmented” as she puts it… and has adopted a feminine method of pulling the world down with her.
She’s spent years on the same subject, using the same methods, expecting different results… and this is… normal for her.
Nothing wrong with Mary.
She’s a “philosopher.”
Refuses to become skeptical towards her own motives and methods; refusing to adopt a different method, different way of defining concepts…and yet is proudly skeptical of everything she finds threatening.
She considers beginning with the act, a capitulation to power…
Classic Marxism. Everything is social engineered by the powerful, to control the powerless… and yet, she claims she has no choice, and she refuses to accept that she does, wallowing in her impotence, like a good slave.
She claims to want to “bring it all down to earth”… make it comprehensible to her feminine mind, and yet, refuses all attempts to bring her down.
So paranoid that she sees power motives in everyone’s words… except the ones that indoctrinated her into her present state.
She refuses to come down, to the ground, because she intuitively fears what she might find there.
A pitiful creature she is, especially when she declares victory and attempts to make it seem like she’s manipulating others; especially when she CHOOSES to define all attention as an affirmation of her adopted methods and regurgitated ideas.
Ha!!
