Exactly quantifying the afterlife will be difficult but NOT impossible.

DUMBING-DOWN THE WORLD

Who is responsible for the dumbing-down of the world's population? Language is the medium of consensus and of discord. As cultures seek a meaningful world-view, volubility increases with the need for more words. Concepts become redundant and discarded; words are invented and reification changes reality. Modern science, religion – and contemporary education – are based on the presumption of Pluralism (not Realism or Materialism, as is commonly held). The primacy of a metaphysical perspective has all-but been abandoned. The vast body of academic scholarship over the last century was predicated on the catastrophic Oxford Model and is mostly meaningless and redundant. An incomprehensible waste of resources and lives supporting the crumbling edifice of Ivory Tower-based education. That culture, based on erroneous assumptions, must take responsibility for the World's stultified condition. The world-view of the vast majority is based on harm, through ignorance, lies and deception.

PLEASE NOTE:  I AM NOT THE AUTHOR OR A CO-AUTHOR OF THIS WORK    However, I commend to you this brilliant paper by Peter Eastman, written in 2014. What's wrong with Philosophy? Nothing, but it is the post-moderne philosophers that have lost touch with the legacy of ancient wisdom, in which lies the key to the locked Self. The abandonment of the principles of epistemology, most notably Critical Thinking in modern scholarship and education, has rendered philosophers impotent to affect real metaphysical inquiry and a meaningful understanding of one's existence; one's ontological dilemma. Of course, no-one wants to discuss the bull in the China shop: the stampede to concept and fallacy reification in 21st-century academia. Or, do we? The Humanities are under attack from without, probably due to the expensive drivel and meaningless, self-serving output that Ivory Towers churn. Perhaps the answer is in the deceptive methodology (a posteriori logic), the vacuous speculations, overt manipulation and dissent ping-pong which have provided fruitful pickings for scholarly enterprise; Ivory Towers must be maintained and defended, at any cost, it seems. Perhaps pay-rolled philosophy professionals portray pointlessness purposely? You are invited to join the discussion group as one looks forward to your comments and contributions. In Xenia. JW

I am looking at kant's whole transcedental aesthetic like a film roll and film , where outer sense objects are in a film roll that like in a roll they have all the scenes of a movie simultaneously but we cant see the film at once so it must be intuited in time spontaneously .

RESPECTFULLY, pan-dualism is more plausible than pan-deism. All entities either are unique, or too different for perfect prediction. Plus, humans may be bound by some rules(genetics, environment, circumstances, etc.) but, without the fundamental choice to focus on life, human reason would be impossible. Plus, humans can lose all their cells yet survive and retain their individual identities. So, at least humans have some immaterial tracker(maybe souls). Pan-deism depends on the unlikely premise that a creator destroyed itself(thus, all existence are dubiously the creator’s debris). We don’t know who created us or how. Thus, pan-dualism has the most evidence, while making the least assumptions.

I am looking for a quotation of the tale described below. I know it appeared at the beginning of an article or text on paraconsistent logic but I can't find that source nor any other authoritative source.

Two disputants come to a rabbi for a resolution. After hearing the first case, the rabbi says, “You are right.” When he hears the antagonist’s response, he says, “You are also right.” An observer says, “Rabbi, you said person A and person B are both right; they can't both be right!” The rabbi responds, “you are also right!”

The relationship between science and spirituality has long been a subject of debate, often framed as a dichotomy—science grounded in empirical evidence and logical reasoning, and spirituality rooted in faith, intuition, and transcendence. Historically, the two have been seen as separate, with science focusing on the material world and spirituality addressing the metaphysical. However, recent advancements in various fields of science, particularly quantum physics, neuroscience, and cosmology, have begun to blur the lines between these traditionally distinct realms.

As science continues to uncover the mysteries of consciousness, the nature of reality, and the origins of the universe, new questions arise: Can spirituality, which encompasses the search for meaning and the experience of the divine, be reconciled with scientific inquiry? Can modern science, in its pursuit of understanding the fundamental laws of nature, leave room for concepts such as God, purpose, and interconnectedness?

Furthermore, many contemporary thinkers and scientists argue that spirituality could be incorporated into modern scientific frameworks. Practices like meditation, mindfulness, and consciousness studies have already demonstrated measurable impacts on human health and cognition. The exploration of how spiritual experiences can be understood and validated within scientific paradigms opens exciting opportunities for interdisciplinary research.
