A Philosophical Question


A Philosophical Question

Philosophy is the first order discipline, in that it asks an appropriate (in time, place, person and context) question, never wanting a simple answer.

Even one tries to answer, the true philosopher would never believe, it upfront.

That actually leads to the second order disciplines like religion which became redundant over time due to dogmatism.

That leads to the scientific inquiry (Kalama Sutta, brandishing 13 qualifications for inquiry, was a fore runner) which got muddled in the material physics (5% of total) leaving behind 95% of the virtual (dark matter and dark energy) matter, in the universe unexplained.

We are yet to comprehend the total and somewhere down the line mankind coined the irrational words, conventional truth and absolute (ultimate), masking the simple truth.

I think mankind wants to be in the dark and never want to come out of the Deep Mind Pit, they are already in.

I call it, the virulent brain virus that retards our escape from the tight entanglement without a logical treatment in sight!


Are we free to exercise our free will?
