Hegel Philosophy - Keepin it rational

As a thought experiment, let’s reverse current philosophy that the Human Species has the only known sentient beings. Let’s not make humans part of the rule by removing our sentience (as in the philosophies that bring out our “animal heredity”), but rather by granting sentience to Everything Else. If the one-celled creatures of which I am made were sentient (and still are) and bonded together in much the same way that humans form families and cities and states and countries, to form organs and circulatory systems and other sentient entities, then there is no need for anything new to emerge. Human culture would be evolution up close and personal. Culture wouldn’t Group out there all by itself as a human phenomenon. Just as one geographi...

The sixth image in the book Everything IS, a visual and intellectual theory of everything. I first ambled down this mental trail while thinking about Evolution. Evolution at the level of multi-celled creatures seems very obvious. A zebra looks too much like a horse; we look too much like other primates; dinosaurs look too much like reptiles, etc. for me to doubt it. However on the microscopic level, that moment when life was created from the primordial stew of non-living molecules…how did that happen? One minute there were non-living molecules floating around, the next minute they grouped into one-celled living creatures? How? How did these one-celled creatures turn into multi-celled, sentient me? What is the mechanism? At one t...

•Sentience: a state of elementary or undifferentiated consciousness •Sentient: responsive to or conscious of sense impressions; aware; finely sensitive in perception or feeling I would like to explore the possibility that our universe is run by Infinite Sentience from the subatomic to the cosmic. Maybe humans are not the only sentient beings on this planet, but a part of a pattern of sentience, tied to groupings, which exists on infinite levels. Maybe things happen because infinite numbers of decisions are being made by infinite numbers of sentient entities coming from infinite grouping and size perspectives—infinity to the power of infinity.

I call these infinite perspectives the perspective horizon. We all sit in a different position on this perspective horizon and are only able to see those entities that are within our own specific range. This perspective horizon extends infinitely in all directions.What is the fundamental, underlying principle of a tapestry? Are the micro-fibers more important than the overall pattern of the tapestry? Are both absolutely fundamentally equal from their individual places on the perspective horizon? The pattern can be used on different mediums; the medium of the tapestry can be used for different patterns. Can we imagine an entity for which the medium is critical but the pattern is invisible…a blind person? Can we imagine the opposite? Ev...

•Everything groups and Everything ungroups; •Everything is or was made up of groups of other things. These two statements represent a totality of Everything from quarks [the subatomic particles that group to create protons and neutrons, which in turn group with electrons to form atoms, which group into molecules, which group into cells, which group into organs, which group into systems, which group into individuals, which group into family, state, religion, species, ecosystem, planet, solar system, local star group, galaxy, cluster of galaxies] to super clusters of galaxies and possibly groups of universes. Everything whose existence has been confirmed by science, groups with other things and is, in turn, made up of groups of othe...

page 22-23 from Everything IS, a visual and philosophical theory of everything _Anthropomorphize: to attribute human form or personality to something that is not human._ I would like to remove the “naughty science” ban against anthropomorphizing that has constrained human science from Newton to the present. Humans seem especially unable to anthropomorphize that which is either too small (a photon, a molecule, a virus) or too large (a star, a galaxy, a cluster of galaxies). Why? This simple change in our thinking would put us into a pattern that repeats endlessly…grouping, disassembling and regrouping. These thoughts allow religion, philosophy and art to be compatible with science. Are we the cultural, artistic, political, techni...

I have been dissatisfied with the current explanations of how humans emerged from non-sentient primates. The religious evolutionists propose that God blew the spirit into man. The scientific emergence theories seem to have the same breath happening, it’s just paced differently—it takes place over a much longer period of time. But what did that first glimmer of sentience look like? What was it made up of? What is it made up of today? If Everything is sentient and always was sentient, then there is no need for this breath of spirit or emergence of sentience. The spirit was always here. The sentience was always there. Everything is spirit/sentience. Read the blog at "Everything IS":http://www.everythingis.info or purchase the boo...

I am offering for discussion the theory that the vast colonies of microbes, bacteria and other entities of which we are made, combined for the same reasons that humans combine: they made decisions; they are still making decisions; our cities are making decisions; galaxies are making decisions; the atoms that combined to form molecules and the molecules that combined to form DNA were and ARE all making decisions. No clockwork universe in my world! Read the blog at "Everything IS":http://www.everythingis.info or purchase the book at "Purchase Everything IS":http://www.blurb.com/bookstore/detail/361176

Albert Einstein quote

The end of all things is not really what you'd expect.

Charles Sanders Peirce (1839-1914), US philosopher, mathematician, logician, and scientist. Peirce was educated at Harvard, and from 1879 to 1884 was lecturer in logic at Johns Hopkins University. Peirce is now considered one of the most outstanding logicians and philosophers of his time, but struggled to find employment during his lifetime. Many of his writings were unpublished and he died in poverty. Numerous anthologies and collections of his works have since been published, including his papers on Pragmatism. University centres have been founded dedicated to Peircean studies.

_page 28-29 from Everything IS, a visual and philosophical theory of everything_ To make the pattern complete, a new sentience must be created with every grouping, even a group of two…again, think gravity. If it doesn’t start adding a new sentience at two, what critical weight—and exactly what would we be weighing—would need to be reached to create that new sentience? We’d be back to emergence. We have all experienced the different dynamics between hanging out (grouping) with one friend and then adding another friend to the mix. Is each grouping a different entity? I picture the gravity groupings much like Einstein’s gravity fields: a multi-dimensional grid that warps where there are objects that are within the scope of my persp...

_page 26-27 from Everything IS, a visual and philosophical theory of everything_ The smaller we look, the more mechanical the process is bound to appear because the details are washed out. A highway from a certain distance in space disappears, as we zoom closer it looks like a line, then it begins to take on width and direction, then height, then personality and diversity. A family is close from the first generation to second to third, but from the fourth generation, the distance expands quickly. After 100 generations all detail of the early generations is smudged into a pattern—part of the mass migration of Angles or Saxons or Celtic peoples or Huns or Goths or, as we zoom further out in space-time, mammals or air breathers or car...

known as Ibn Sīnā or by his Latinized name Avicenna, was a Persian polymath who wrote treatises on a wide range of subjects, of which approximately 240 have survived to our days. In particular, 150 of these treatises focus on philosophy and 40 on medicine. A man of science and philosophy, Avicenna, as he became known in the West, lived 57 years (between 980 and 1037), in the heart of the Persian Empire. And he went down in history as the wise man who compiled, for the first time, the essential medical and pharmacological knowledge to interpret and be more effective in combating the disease. Avicena
