McGilchrist encapsulates my own metaphysical positions beginning at 19:05…
Cosmos is order/chaos…
Order = patterns - predictable, repeating, consistent.
Vibrating energies with a specific dimensional sequence, determining the probability of its interactivity, interpreted as appearance, within an expanding field of possibilities, i.e., space.
Chaos, not complexity, but randomness absence of a consistent, predictable, repeating sequence, ergo an unpredictable, inconsistent sequence.
We living organisms, dependent on order and a product of order, can only perceive and appreciate forms of order, i.e., patterns.
Chaos is frightening because it is unpredictable and anti-life…it challenges ordering or organizing, i.e., organisms.
Energy, from the Greek “at work”, in the process of…indicating dynamism and momentum, i.e., movement.
The human mind can only conceptualize the multiplicity of energy as a singular concept, reducing it down to a level it can process and name.
Dynamism means interactivity - Flux is another term for it.
Probability is another way of saying pattern.
Possibility is another way of saying a lack of pattern, or a pattern that cannot be perceived. In both cases the mind interprets this as a void, black, a darkness…ergo man confuses complexity for randomness, preferring the notion of complexity as a hidden pattern, or a occult pattern, only a few “chosen” or “gifted” can see…and the rest can only speculate about and surrender to those that do see it.
The idea of unpredictable possibilities is the most terrifying of all.
What is expanding space/time = it is dimensional fragmentation, i.e., increase of possibilities accompanied by a decrease of probabilities, tending towards absolute uniform randomness where all is possible, including the emergence of a near-absolute yin/yang absolute order, a duality conceptualized as a singularity. The mind must abstract, by simplifying/generalizing the complex do a manageable level…an idea a singular concept, an ideal.
Confusing the representation for the represented - or the abstraction for the “thing ion itself” - the noumenon for the phenomenon - is a common self-decpetive mistake moderns sometimes intentionally make so as to help them cope with an indifferent not entirely ordered fluctuating existence. The mind of an organism needs certainty and predictability, It needs order.
Past is never overcome, no matter how desperately modern minds wish it were not so.
Past is continuously manifesting as presence, and interpreted as appearance. a mind may choose to forget, and immerse itself in Lethe, state of forgetfulness, rejecting a-Letheia, or recollection, remembrance, un-forgetting…but it can never escape the past - ergo race is not a social construct that can be socially eradicated, annulled, erased.
Race, like species, is a biological category indicating potentials, i.e., probabilities, in relation to genetic traits.
Sexual categories are hormonal, adjusting inherited potentials, to facilitate reproductive specialization.
