Science is disproving the internal by means of the external. Philosophy is disproving the external by means of the internal. Government is disproving both by means of insufficient funding.
Explanation:
Science relies upon the external world to be true, and through that finds evidence that disproves internal concepts such as free will, true love, mind-body dualism, and the objectivity of perception. Philosophy, in which I include poetry and religion, relies upon the internal self to be true, and through that finds reason to doubt the validity of the external world, the consciousness of other humans, mathematics as a whole, and the objectivity of perception. Both are working towards the elimination of objectivity and of all certainty, just standing on opposite ledges trying to bring the other down like American Gladiators. This led me to think, which means of though is working towards the elimination of both towers equally, a total destruction of all human certainty? And through which means?
Far from being the enemy of thought, government is achieving the unspoken goal of thought, which if you ever think about it is quite clear: thought wants nothing more than its own destruction. Government is destroying thought through standing on the platform of total thoughlessness. Our brains seem to be begging for suicide, and perhaps we have finally found the means to do so.
This is not intrinsically a bad thing- once we eliminate all thought, all that’s left is consciousness. Reality TV is a means towards Buddha Consciousness.
