Truth seems to have its own energy;
or to produce energy when it collides - to make a little nod to Physics,whose notation I'm borrowing for a moment (naturally Physics is completely irrelevant here; it's not physical energy we're talking about, but the superior kind of energy that can, misteriously, trigger the physical kind - with thinking/feeling (might be the same) subjects.
So, at a certain t, T + P = E.
Where T is Truth, P is a thinking subject, i.e. a Person and E is the same as in Einstein.
Actually, it's probably more, say E², where E is the disposable energy of P before t; no, it must be even more - E³ as this supreme kind of energy goes in all directions; hmm, let’s make it E⁴ - this type of spiritual/intellectual (might be the same) energy must beat the vulgar energy (I may be blaspheming now, as both energies must come from the same Source); or - just in case - let’s settle on⁶ E⁵.
Let me give you an illustration how this works: 2+2=4⁷
Can you feel the energy? No?
OK, let try this then:
The beautiful Miss Kowalski has just told a bunch of cute elementary school kids about arithmetics and one of its four basic operations, addition (still only partially understood; I mean that ancient Greek question: what happens to the dying 1's when they become a new-born 2?).
"Please, Miss!", shouts Jimmy, "Give us an example how it works!"
"OK", Miss Kowalski bends to pick up from the floor an old fashioned piece of chalk [the scene is set in the old-fashioned 70s, say 1977] revealing more of her breasts than the kids are able to appreciate.
"Here is one". Her exquisite hand makes a series of quick, stimulating moves which leave the following trace on the blackboard:
2+2=3
The keen kids look for a moment at the board, taking in the amazing interaction of numbers that - they somehow feel it - could stand for so much: apples, ice-creams, goals or even in extreme cases girlfriends. Then all of them start copying the revealed truth in their notebooks. All except one.
Sitting at the third desk from the left, there is you. You stare at Miss Kowalski and don't make a move. But you know you will, because you know the truth⁸. Your elder brother told you and you understood it.
And now your mind goes into overdrive and your hand shoots up: "Miss!!! What have you done with the truth?
And with the fourth apple, for that matter?"
⁶ the theory is still in its early stages, so please kindly excuse my exponentiation.
⁷ I was tempted to use a more arithmetically sophisticated example, but I feared I might get something wrong.
⁸Now I've realised that the proposed theorem should include Falsehood: T+P+F=E;
with F acting as a catalyst
PS Let me give you one more example:
Miss Kowalski says to the students: "Only naturalism counts. Repeat: only naturalism counts.
Very good.
Now this: Dualism is religion. Only naturalism is science. Dualism explains nothing. Naturalism explains everything. Or even if it it doesn't yet, it will one day.
Very good.
Now this: Dualism is religion. Only naturalism is science. Dualism explains nothing. Naturalism explains everything. Or even if it it doesn't yet, it will one day.
Now stand up, close your eyes, raise your hands and repeat:
One day it will!
One day it will!
One day it will!
One day it will!
[and so for a few hundred years, since the 'Enlightenment' started].
Sitting at the third desk from the left, there is you. You stare at Miss Kowalski and don't move. So the question is: when will you, you cowardly ciepłe kluchy???
PS2 Having chosen a picture for this post, I checked the website where it came from and look what I found. I've taken only a brief glance and a lot of this sounds complete baloney. Except for the insightful bits I agree with.
