Re: Straggler's Strange Ideas
I don’t agree that it’s evidence free
Though we view it subjectively
There’s thought and there’s wisdom
Love and altruism
And to choose them is good we agree
If the truth is then what we both sought
Then how can we know what we ought?
Saying love is a good thing
And hate is the wrong thing
If we’re just atoms evolved from some rocks
I believe what I’ve said here is truth
Even without empirical proof
But I’m grateful for life
Even with all its strife
And for that I give thanks that’s profuse

Re: Straggler's Strange Ideas
A prime mover or not there may be
I’m thinking realistically
There is or there isn’t
I must be persistent
Though we can’t know objectively
If the prime mover exists it is true
That the options are more than a few
And so are the options
If the Big Bang just popped in
From a mindless pin point with no clue
Thinking anthropomorphically
When considering our ontology
In our humanness
We will ponder our quest
As part of greater reality
So I agree that whatever our views
I enjoy a discussion with you
And though we may not have proof
There’s still ultimate truth
And we both want to know what is true

Straggler's Night Out
I’ve been to a few London Pubs
And tasted a few London suds
But I suggest in your noggin
There should be more haemoglobin
Than alcohol in your blood

Re: Straggler's Strange Ideas
Your beliefs are subjective as well
But on this there is no need to dwell
But I think that we know
What makes reality flow
In this field our science excels
It’s what undergirds reality
That’s really of interest to me
Calling it superstition
Does not make it fiction
There is more than just what we perceive
Superstition from the outside in
Impacts the world that we reside in
By that definition
Even Straggler’s cognition
Is superstition that guides him
There’s more than photons and electrons
Much of what is unseen we still count on
There are all kinds of emotions
And intelligent notions
Even the LH Collider can’t work on

Re: Straggler's Strange Ideas
You say that emotions are gone
When our last breath has been drawn
This is hardly objective
And surely subjective
You’re still with us, I hope I’m not wrong
Yes there’s more than what is perceivable
That doesn’t mean all is conceivable
We all come to conclusions
Some based on illusions
Living by what’s most believable
I think far too much you protest
The subjective views I attest
For me you accuse
For yourself you excuse
The subjective views you profess

Everybody is entitled to my opinion.

There’s a critic in every crowd
Who thinks that his rhymes are endowed
With wit and direction
And subtle correction
Without any discretion allowed

Re: Straggler's Strange Ideas
Our conclusions aren’t equally strong
So I’m sure you’ll admit that you’re wrong
So I’ve had the last word
But all that’s occurred
Has been friendly and fun all along
It really has been a hoot Straggler. I keep rhyming things in my head when I'm talking to people.
You're one of the good ones.
Thanks
Greg
