These terms and ideas long predate the kabbalah (approx. 600ad), though they are certainly meditated on in there. I picked the term because it is relatively well known and succinctly expresses the idea
What is your foundation?
Both really, the foundation that allows you to discern valid ideas from invalid ones. I feel like if you attempted to understand what ein sof means here you’d have no issue with the term. Do you have an issue with the terms “erotic” or “hermetically sealed”? Those are derived from Greek gods (Eros and Hermes)
I, and Gödel himself, would likely agree. And it appears that man has understood this throughout his-story, even if he sometimes forgets and another must remember for him.
I agree, but I ask you, what do you think Jesus spent his formative years doing? My research leads me to conclude he spent them “dabbling” enough to discern the truth about reality.
And while I think everyone on this site would agree that technology has been an avenue of disruption, that disruption has had both positive and negative effects. Medicine is a type of technology, same with language. But as Gödel demonstrated, these systems based on logic will always be incomplete. While they comprise useful tools, they do not comprise an everlasting foundation. I think we have to look within for that. Thanks for checking it out!
Sounds good, the terms in my OP aren’t even directly relavent to the video, they were more conversation prompts than anything, and they certainly worked! Hope you enjoy
