.. criteria for god making.. and ..in the mist of human cognition ..the unconscious




each one feels .. even without being able to sense what one feels .. unconsciously .. goes undetected by one’s consciousness .. consciousness prevents detection ..

any god created by humans ought to live up to the expectations that led to its creation .. the concept of god ought to fulfil every human being’s expectations .. the criteria that ought to be met by any god created .. if these criteria are not met that god fails .. and if that happen everything built upon that god fails to ..

any god created by humans ought to live up to the expectations that led to its creation .. and ..the concept of any god so created ought to fulfil every human being’s expectations .. the criteria that ought to be met by any god that man creates.. if these criteria are not met that god fails .. and if that happen everything built upon that god so created fails to ..

beyond philanthropy .. which its aggressive onslaught upon us ..as it is witnessed by advertising practically shouting out .. yelling .. their contributions to the point that diminishes their worth ..their value .. renders them useless to their cause .. an enterprise and not an act of good will .. as it is not out of concern of the fellow man .. but to fulfil the giver’s measly goals and not the recipient’s well being ..

what are these thoughts that entered my mind this morning .. ought to trace them ..find out what was responsible of bringing them out .. creativity .. as been brought forth by John H. Holland .. I am not sure ..I think .. though I have doubts .. nevertheless .. irrelevant .. but more recent .. yesterday’s triggers .. is big think’s article on free will .. the input being put by that young man .. about free will being absent .. though in my mind ..is what he said about the unconscious (for which I agree) .. and as well .. the other extract about religion that Davies the professor from Australia said about .. religion without god .. even though his thinking behind .. it looks as if it doesn’t match what I have thought .. or I use it as .. 

the combining .. the associations between these notions created in my mind .. have been made in ways I cannot describe .. fathom .. understand .. comprehend .. they have been made in my mind .. practically ..unconsciously ..

interpreted .. that is what I am doing right now .. I am trying to interpret them .. and to assist on that .. I ought to trace their origins ..

Politics. Economy. Capitalism. Mere Game, and as such ought to be "playable". Alas, equal opportunity out of the window as players treated as pieces to play out with. Excluded from the game. Are not allowed to play.

Board games [E1] are not usually accorded the same primacy as numbers, but to my mind they are an equally important cornerstone[E2]  in the scientific endeavour. In particular, I think [E3] board games, as well as numbers, mark a watershed in human perception of the world. A board game qua game only exists because the players act within the agreed-on constraints[E4]  set by the game’s rules. Though the rules must be fully and compactly specified for the game to be “playable,” [E5] they can[E6]  be contrived freely relative to the real world[E7] , subject only to incidental physical constraints involved in movement of pieces and the like.[E8]  This freedom from direct physical constraints encourages modifications in the rules, accompanied by empirical judgements as to which rules yield a better game. This freedom from direct physical constraints encourages modifications in the rules, accompanied by empirical judgements as to which rules yield a better game[E9] . Each new try amounts to a new miniature universe governed by fully defined laws. It is not a long step from such an outlook to the idea that the world itself may be rule governed.
  Above all, board games[E10] , unlike numbers in their raw form, capture the dynamic of unfolding actions and their consequences. There is an initial position, and the successive actions of the players give rise to a succession of positions, all within the constraints provided by the rules. Different actions cause different successions. Cause and effect, as well as the possibility of controlling the outcome, become obvious in this context.
  The rules of the game expand to become the “rules of logic” as we move forward in time from the board games of the early Egyptian dynasties. Thales’ advocacy of “logical speculation” —the counterpart of our search for rules to explain systems exhibiting emergence—moved rule making to a broader interpretation. This logical speculation required adherence to agreed-on rules of reasoning, followed by a comparison of the results with the real world. Thales specifically supported logical speculation as an alternative to traditional myths as a way of understanding nature.
  From Thales on attempts to model the world within a logical framework encapsulating cause and effect became increasingly sophisticated. From Euclid's geometry we went on to such triumphs as Kepler’s model of the solar system and Newton’s laws of the universe. The sine qua non of these models is a small, easily comprehended set of laws that yields a wide range of testable consequences[E11] .


page 204 EMERGENCE

  In the nineteenth century, Sir Charles Lyell and his compatriots developed their models based on the rate of weathering of mountains and sediment deposition. A whole new conception of the world and its age came into being. suddenly there was room enough and time for things to evolve, allowing an explanation for the hitherto mysterious skeletons of “monsters” that had been encountered in quarrying. The laws were simple and the conception was testable. Even more important, the laws fit the constraints imposed by newton’s laws. When Darwin came along with his astute observations and connections, embedding all within the constraints of Lyell’s geology, he gained a credibility that his grandfather, Erasmus, never had, though Erasmus’ imaginative insight was of an equal order.
