Meta-Dialogue: mar 7

Is beauty objective or subjective?
Nature is not always symmetric, then could beauty be asymmetric?

Complete: you could enter or add anything and it would still work.

Consistent: doesn't have contradictions.

Gödel thought that mathematics is a system, which is incomplete but consistent. The reason for this is that we cant prove mathematics with mathematics. We would need another robust system to explain this system. This cant be done.

Mathematics is like religion because it believes in certain truths that cant be proved. (Fire in the Equations, leap of faith).

The ptolomaic system was complete but inconsistent.

Can there exist a mind without the universe? Could the universe exist without a mind?



We should be more metacognitive and try to understand people more. We should listen to other points of view, in order to improve our difficult conversations. Both sides have to agree to try to work things out. If only one person is committed to improving the situation, then you cant have an easy conversation.

Humans seek to express themselves. Maybe this is because we are naturally selfish, maybe its because we need someone else's approval, maybe its because we are afraid we might get hurt or maybe its because if the human emotion and necessity to follow people.

One talks in a dialogue to try to contribute a piece to the puzzle. A persons input can also be useful for the rest of the people, as long as one is not trying to impose ideas.

Having a conversations means to remodel something, not to construct it.
