Dear Don!
"I swapped your last and first names.."- No problem. I advisedly wished to use it here in its originality.
Your rephrasing my thesis in its sum-up quite correct. I couldn't be better :))
I can agree with you regarding to the necessity of the proper eduction is an unmitigated good. However as I guessed in my above comment to you - Who should think what and why and how, and also the education system what knowledge may be acceptably discipled - had been advisedly engineered for a long time. There are deeper implication yet which are on the positively charged side from what I've read in John Brodix Merryman essay (" if God is in charge, she apparently doesn't want to know everything...- I can agree, she surely knows what she doesn't want to know and why, and that concern is above knowledge, because she need to know what she advisedly doesn't want to know, that is implicated - Information is dynamically complex and complexity tends to become unstable beyond a certain level, ... We frequently build out levels of complexity and then struggle to maintain them and manage their consequences." - Just that is what is happening in/with our present overgrown technological development based on too complex science of which the fundamentals are not completely understood.). Furthermore e.g. if you consider a 'living human body as a complex' there may be cells what do not know anything how and why the brain works to steer a complex organism. They need to know at their place they are a part of a whole complex and they can work for a whole healthy complex only if the brain knows and does his works well. Reversely also true! However if some cell wants to do more than for what they are qualified and try to steal the steering becoming something else by wanting knowledge more they need for, both the brain and the whole complex will fall into disorder. This is something like just is happening. We are in our present society disorder as a larger complex viewed and likened to a human body complex. I advocate a systematically and hierarchically well-thought out, considered re-organized education systems, and so much technological investments into that which is truly helps a free energy flowing at many levels. To achieve this we need to re-learn how a healthy organism works and the first step to understand the never created natural hu-man organism is capable for self-sustenance, self-re-organization which may be a right model for working out our larger societal and educational complex. I also pointed out in my essay that is unavoidable the knowledge will emerge by freely one's own interest and scrutiny and a present technology can backfire because it is possible the information and knowledge distribution by else way (i.e. see Internet) that would not be controlled so simply. Each of us has an inherent knowledge at deeper levels of stratum of the whole nature, also has racial memory complex ..and so on.
I think it is not attributed to the next FQXi.org contest "What is a Though That a Person May Know It". This will bring out the real philosophers, if it brings out anyone at all." This is not addressed to any kind of contest or competition - it is the only chance for our present humanity survival! It needs to bring and bind together real philosophers and scientists and also requires a council who satisfactorily promotes them for the natural human survival!
I think, there may be coming much deal with your Digital Wave Theory correcting and satisfying how the thoughts incorporates the non-physical and physical realms. I understand why you have chosen this form of educations. I've not gone deeper yet into your blog, but I offer some links to look after perhaps it may worth a bit to recite:
Aristotle's Natural Philosophy (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
Aristotle's Unmoved Mover
My Notes: Aristotle wasn't brave enough to put himself equal with GOD when he formulated or postulated the Self thinker thought can be the GOD. This is a long time problem with remarkable thinkers, they are inclined to think out of his actual bodies. Simply said, they forget they are in a complex physical body meanwhile they are doing any kind of abstraction to describe, apprehend the fundamentals! So, even they may be at a highest level of understanding of the basics, even they can lose his humanness closer to an everyday man, during this process. This is bigger danger, than do not understand quite exactly the fundamentals! .
I liked the funny - I am A Non E Mouse :)
I noticed, if you (anyone) just write some text into the form and you leave your computer or not so quick in typing, there may be a predefined time when that elapsed you will be logged of automatically and go into anonymous.
Best wishes for you!
Sincere regards,
