Meta-Dialogue: may 2

There is a possibility that God can exist.
One thinks that one knows. But are we really ever going to know?

Even if we can't reach an objective truth, we can try to reach it or have a n approximation of the truth to make life easier and to help other people (when it comes to science).


If we discover how the mind works, could we lose the sense of our self? of individualism?

Why is there a me?
Could it be to identify an epiphenomenon?
what consequences can this cause?
could it be an obstacle to reach the absolute truth?
But we can know any of this because we would have to jump out of the system, climb another level.


We can only understand a system that is inferior to ours.
Hofstader mentions the brain.
All brains look the same and function the same way, but not everybody thinks the same and not everyone understands each other.
Hofstader says that, contrary to Lucas, humans do have limits. We are not the top.


Something that affects everything are the senses or the information that is interpreted by each person. In other words, everyone has a different perception.

Reality is what exists outside of everyone. It is independent of the person. Truth is just a term that we give to how much the perception of each person approximates reality. It would be an approximation of our perception to reality.
But at the end, it will always be an approximation, we will never reach reality.
