How about these aphorisms?
1)Maybe I'm slightly less intuitive. I
consider myself kind of a skeptical empiricist/critical rationalist.
2)I don't believe concepts are eternal because they need to be adjusted to avoid contradictions.
3)Without some transcendence beyond materialism, we would NOT be able to reason.
4)Maybe reason is the ONLY absolute CONCEPT. And reason derives from God.
5)Concepts also aid execution thus, maybe I'm a more skeptical Aristotelian.

There is nothing wrong with being reasonable or rational in how your base your fundamental views and perception of the universe. However we live in a society where there are thousands of beliefs and variations of beliefs exist. In order to live together, we must use our intelligence for tolerance, to live with each other. It is not important to define our perceptions, but to understand them how they are.

A Decadal Survey of Space Architecture
Theodore Wayne Hall
The Space Architecture Technical Committee (SATC) is conducting a decadal survey of the field. If you have any interest in space architecture -- as a practitioner, student, teacher, colleague, coworker, employer, client, developer, investor, or potential user (as an off-Earth explorer, worker, visitor, or settler) -- please respond to our questionnaire:
For more background information on the Survey, see our web page:
Please share this with your colleagues -- we hope to get the broadest possible response before * 2024-08-31 *.

Epistemic logic pays barely any attention to the notion of understanding, which stands in total contrast to the current situation in epistemology and in philosophy of science. This paper studies understanding why in an epistemic-logic-style. It is generally acknowledged that understanding why moves beyond knowing why. Inspired by philosophical idea...
