That necessitates connections with others to communicate to, and a guiding medium in respect of which to communicate. If so, by definition, such quality is not reducible to scientific quantification, but is more appropriately a subject for innate (meta emotional?) appreciation. The Source or means for deriving "oughts" to which one is qualititatively inclined to devote one's consciousness is necessarily based more in art than in science. Science cannot replace art, but can serve as handmaiden to it. Those who (rightly so) object to artists with little training in science wanting to teach science often fail to object to scientists with little appreciation for qualities beyond the quantifiable wanting to teach art. All seem to struggle with their own preferred blinders.<br /><br /><br />To my lights, decent civilization would hardly be nurtured were all of government, academia, and media to be turned over to know-it-all militants, devoid of introspection, who were machined, committed, and faux-enlightened to nothing but science. Practical living entails appropriate regard for both art and science. I can hardly know in any scientific sense whether Jesus or any other particular godhead has ever actually manifested. However, I can qualitatively intuit a well-intentioned, evolving, unfolding, empathetic hand of artistry behind the story weaving. Machine minded mathematicians may wish to defenestrate the innate quality of the artist, and may impose much suffering for everyone along the way, but my intuition is that their goal is incoherent to practical reality.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
