The Man said:
I specifically recommend against such experimentation and it was your own stated “head/hummer interaction” that I recommended as a possible “philosophy of life”. How is one “heating one's head with a hammer”?
Here is the quote of what you said about “philosophical view of existence”
The Man said:
Come to think of it, a hummer might not be a bad philosophical view of existence. Thanks, Doron you’re finally starting to make sense, that blowing/sucking complementation/interaction and all.
And here is a quote of you, which provides the answer to your question: “How is one “hitting one's head with a hammer”?”
The Man said:
If you think a hammer does not exist (except in your mind) then try to think the hammer away as you bash yourself in the head with it (or have someone else do it if they don’t mind) until you prove the hammer does not exist, your mind does not exist or you finally choose to mind the existence of the hammer (and perhaps the other person) outside of your mind and bashing you in the head. I doubt you will execute the first blow before you recognize the existence of the hammer over the existence of your mind.
By your thought experiment you clearly use a person that hits his own head with an hammer, or using some other person to do the job of hitting some person’s head with an hammer.
You also added that:

** This research project is not recommended and would be considered illegal under existing law
What existing law The Man, is it some physical law that prevents the actual existence of such an experiment?
Probably no, so this existing law is actually based also on Ethics, because only by classical Logics there is nothing that prevents the actual existence of your “research project”. So your “**” is derived from some linkage of Ethics with Logics.
Furthermore, the non-actual existence of such an experiment is derived from the deep understanding of the goal to protect and develop Complexity and specially the Complexity that is aware of itself and it is also responsible for the results of its actions.
So it is about time to tell also to yourself that we have to do our best in order to develop a comprehensive framework where Etichs and Logics reinforce each other.
OM is some preliminary effort to develop such a framework, as written in
http://www.internationalskeptics.com/forums/showpost.php?p=5814052&postcount=9429, and you, The Man, are doing your “best” in order to block any development of such a project, and the reason is your Black\White view about Ethics and Logics, as shown in that quote:
The Man said:
However ethics unfettered by logic is by definition irrational and ethics entirely constrained by logic (particularly binary logic) tends to be uncompassionate.
Black=“ethics unfettered by logic”
White=”ethics entirely constrained by logic”
The Man, don’t you think that it is about time to be developed beyond this “Black\White view” ?
You disagree with OM's direction about such a project, and this is fine with me.
Please Let us know for a change what are your suggestions in order to develop a non “Black\White view” version
of Ethics\Logics framework?
