can you see electrons too?
No, but I can see matter – which is nothing more than temporality manifest – an electron being but a theoretical particle of it.
I do not pray to the electron nor am I asked to sacrifice my existence to the theory of physics, nor am I promised eternal rewards by submitting to the electron, nor do I sacrifice to the electron.
If an “expert” possessing more knowledge and better equipment to study the phenomenon of matter tells me, and is supported by many others on this, that he thinks matter is made up of electrons – which are nothing more than human symbols of concepts – and he can then produce machines that work on his principles, then I’m more inclined to take his word on it – maintaining skepticism as the fundamental principle of intellectual integrity.
Matter is a common experience. There is nobody that does not believe in matter and there are no wars fought over if matter is real or not or whose perception of matter is more accurate. Matter is a common perception and all that is left is explaining what it is and how it appears and how it works in its different qualities.
Disagreements arise as to what matter’s essence is.
Your “God” is not a common experience but a desperate explanation based on common human fears and hopes and projections.
You, you pathetic moron, see nothing but matter (temporality manifest) and you are told that something exists that is other than it. The “authorities” you respect have nothing to show but promises and myths and hypotheticals with no basis on common experience or basic common sense.
You perceive no beginnings and no ends and yet you presuppose them, adding a beginning with no beginning – also contradicting your own premises.
You perceive no absolute and yet you presuppose it, before you look outwards, because your brain has been infected by a disease that plays with your existential anxieties and instinctual fears and your need for certainty and for stability and for hope.
You have, nothing to show but books written by unknown men, thousands of years ago, which offers you a release from responsibility and fear and so you feel attracted to their theories; the very theories which, ironically, are geographically/historically determined and culturally promoted and this does not cause you to explore the conflicts of interest implied.
How you decide which “authority” is more reliable and which less so and how do you choose experts, any expert or specialist…a doctor let us say?
I decide it in the same way I decide which friend is more reliable or whose advice is more reliable. I look at the source and its past performances.
Then I compare the source’s evaluations with my own perceptions and I see if they correspond or if they are diametrically opposite.
I can only imagine your glee when you stumbled upon the hypocritical strategy of using “epistemology” to make your mythologies possible.
The “correct” authorities, using the “right” teachings you proclaimed failing to define what either “correct” or “right” meant.
I can raise a child to believe in gargoyles and to depend on my authority, do gargoyles exist?
How would the child decide if I were a reliable authority or just someone trying to manipulate it and control its thoughts?
You cannot prove your positions nor offer rational arguments for them and so you attempt to insinuate their validity based on the premise that all human thoughts are hypothetical and rely on some degree of faith.
You level everything, in this way, so as to make your inanities equal in validity with any others.
Besides who told you I believe electrons are absolutely fact?
I believe they are more probable than your childish fairytales and that is it.
One more thing, the study of the “correct” teachings from the “right” authorities can be used as an argument to support any inanity, from UFO’s to Allah and from Leprechauns to the Flat Earth theory.
