The Western intellectual tradition has pursued a single, seductive dream: that the truth is waiting to be discovered. But what if this quest has led humanity into great danger? Manuel Delaflor challenges the Enlightenment ideal of objective truth, arguing that our models don’t…
My latest article for The Institute of Art and Ideas "For centuries, the Western intellectual tradition has pursued a single, seductive dream: that the truth is out there, waiting to be discovered." iai.tv/articles/truth…
My latest article for the Institute of Art and Ideas @IAI_TV I hope you like it. You think life is about competition? Think again. Cooperation, not competition, is the key to our survival | Manuel Delaflor » IAI TV iai.tv/articles/coope…
If you look carefully, in the shadow of intimidation, you will find not power, nor clarity, but the silhouette of cowardice. Strong men nurture, protect, and extend their generosity magnanimously to everyone, at all times, but especially to those in need.
The "noumena" will be always only assumed, so useless as a foundation for anything, which renders all metaphysics as semi useful nonsense
Science is about crafting models that incorporate observations into logical structures. It has never been about "uncovering reality" but about understanding what is possible and what is not within specific epistemic frameworks designed to help us navigate the world.
The voice of reason is always quieter than the voices of fear, greed, and hate. Only facts hit harder, but by then it is always too late.
In any sentence, we can replace "is that the truth?" (a nonsensical question) with "are you certain about it?" It's time to leave damaging mythologies behind.
A flower is the ultimate expression of hope. It pushes through and reaches skyward, defying all doubts. In a delicate yet determined declaration of life. It unfolds its petals to the light with neither question nor condition, opening herself totally, to fully surrender her gift.
The whole "truth/lie" game? It's just a smokescreen for what people are really after. Facts are just pawns in this game of intentions.
What people love to call "truth" and "reality" are misunderstandings. We need to understand that they are just meant to state what you believe, what you see, what you assume, what you feel comfortable with. Nothing else.
In the most optimistic scenario, we should begin to see "truth" as a guiding principle or indicator rather than an objective. Otherwise, the insistence on pursuing mythical concepts like this inevitably results in negative outcomes.
To the ordinary mind, genius and idiocy are often indistinguishable
The answer is to reject all ontologies and build a better epistemic framework.
MDO (Model Dependent Ontology) forces us to confront the possibility that all our concepts, including those of "understanding," "reality," "objectivity," and even "language" itself, are part of a self-referential system with no outside anchor.
You are not describing X But your ideas about what you call X
What is it that we are but fragments of memories and forgotten dreams, desires that fade, memories that dissolve, echoes of noises and whispers that slip away? What are we but small stories filled with countless imperceptible details, fading into oblivion?
