Professionalism is nothing but a crude insistance on the mechanization of mankind.
Expect of Man God, and he will appear to be a beast. Expect of Man a beast, and he will appear to be God.
My existence is such that "I" do not really exist. At the end of understanding so much I understand that I know nothing. I suffer for being surrounded by intense suffering and yet I'm deeply suspicious if first of all there is indeed any consciousness except me. I strive to find the artist who might have fathered this great universal art but feel myself to be too feeble to accomplish this seemingly unattainable mission. Yet I have every respect for life, and it is this sheer respect that makes me live.
One of the great intellectual mistakes Einstein made is that he thought that space and time are physically or ontologically entangled. In the present non-spatial universal computational program, space and time happen to be entangled to the extent that, under certain unique circumstances, changes in spatial measurements indicate changes in temporal ones. However, a change in the program itself may cause space and time to disentangle.
I - a philosopher - live in the cage of flesh and blood.
God is the true realistic point where human reason mostly, if not completely, breaks down.
The universe is a gigantic non-spatial computer.
Life is painful to be meaningful.
Noble spirits are heterodox.
Any systematic body of knowledge is science. The more systematic the body of knowledge is the more scientific it is.
I have far more reasons to rather disbelieve that a man besides me suffers when he cries, yet I have far more sentiments, than those great reasons, to instead weep for his, far less likely, sufferings.
God exists, though He defies reason.
The word philosophy, as distinguished from science, is misleading, for it implies that what philosophy contains is impossible to be a systematic body of knowledge and what science contains is certain or proved.
Meditation is the best engineering.
I am convinced that an electronic machine, no matter how smart and intelligent, being still a mere spatial structure in concept, can neither innovate nor even understand the self-evident proposition: 'No spatial structure can be a representation of any feeling'. Such innovation can only be a work of a non-spatial mind, like a human being, and only such innovation, it should be acknowledged, can pave the way for further scientific achievements.
Man is more social within than without.
Christianity would be helpless without the idea of freewill and the idea of freewill would be helpless without incongruity.
History is an orphan. It can speak, but cannot hear. It can give, but cannot take. Its wounds and tragedies can be read and known, but cannot be avoided or cured.
The world is truly beautiful solely in the eyes of a true philosopher.
The worst insult I can inflict on life is that I do not reflect on its meaning.
If you want to be successful, never laugh!
The real doubt is the doubt that doubts that it doubts.
Humanity is the crime; God is the criminal.
The goal of science is to understand the fundamental reality and the goal of technology is to change that reality.
The most fundamental law of tragedy is that the moments of greatest happiness are the hardest to attain.
