dissertation draft
The jinx goes on. After a massive migraine which manifested itself in the form of a brain embryo during the class yesterday morning, I managed to get my head around in compiling a very rough draft of the dissertation:
Also, regarding Zeno's paradoxes I quote from wikipedia (show mercy Keen):
Zeno's paradoxes are a set of problems devised by Zeno of Elea to support Parmenides' doctrine that "all is one" and that, contrary to the evidence of our senses, the belief in plurality and change is mistaken, and in particular that motion is nothing but an illusion. It is usually assumed that Zeno took on the project of creating these paradoxes because other philosophers had created paradoxes against Parmenides' view. Thus Zeno can be interpreted as saying that to assume there is plurality is even more absurd than assuming there is only one. As such, if we are convinced by Zeno's paradoxes, we should take Parmenides' view more seriously.
We shouldn't though take the word of neither misinformed wikipedia nor some hairy philosopher from times bygone.
Maybe a member of the academy of sciences, the national association for the advancement of science, the american psychological society, the academy of political science, and the human behavior and evolution society as well as the founder of the international paleopsychology project? I give you Howard Bloom (hurrah). It is Chapter 8 "reality is a shared hallucination" from the book "global brain" (spare my head Keen).
Also here's a mind boggling video (based on quantum physics)
