That something else happened, something which refers to what happened within a kind of non-spatial (and non-temporarl) dimension. But this dimension is something that, as Kant noted, we are neurologically constrained to think in terms of space (and time). We mustn't assume a necessary isomorphism between the structure of our neurology and that of the Cosmos.
BTW, I don't think an ant--even the smartest ant--
has a chance of understanding what we are up to,
because of its neurology.
What is the source of your knowledge
of what an ant can understand ?
Have u consulted ants ? Did u discuss this with psychiatric veterinarinans ?
or with entomologists who r skilled in the psychology or filosofy of their subjects ?
or r u propagating arbitrary and
naked prejudice against the ants and their intellects ?
R u picking on them because thay r unrepresented in this forum,
and hence
unable to defend themselves from your vilification ?
casting aspersions upon their minds ?
exposing them to public humiliation, gratuitously and entirely unprovoked ??
Has your allocution revealed your closeted entomological bigotry ?
Tell the truth ! CONFESS !!!!
Quote:The same applies to humans regarding the Absolute Cosmos.
The most we can do is uncover paradoxes that reflect our nature and its relationship to the Cosmos.
During the Abraham Lincoln Administration, a congressman sought to save money
by abolishing the Patent Office on the grounds that everything of any importance
that cud be discovered or invented had already been.
How have
YOU discovered what is
"The most we can do" ??
Have u consulted this congressman ?
