Wonderology (cont.)

Though I did delete the asinine introduction on the last post, I suppose I'll reintroduce the idea slightly. Wonderology is a half-jokingly generative philosophy that pursues the question of relation and non-relation with respect to the apparent existence of subjectivity. It is both skeptical and positivist.

Yet, it drives at a space where philosophy, mathematics, and complexity intersect. The problem with most other philosophies is they do not take into account the true depth and complexity of the issues of subjectivity, relation, and non-relation. Especially with respect to the underlying forms driving these ideas (i.e. the physical realizations that for whatever reason make us think these bizarre and often ridiculous thoughts). Many simplifying assumptions are made at the grossly macroscopic level (i.e. the internal monologue, and maybe a few layers of subconscious underneath), without taking into account the structure, relation, and non-relation of the entire hierarchy of processes lying beneath the surface of the apparent phenomena of subjectivity. Hence, these philosophies restrict the space of possible interpretations and only scratch the surface of a much larger space hiding beneath the abstract symbol manipulations we perform daily.

As the human race hurtles into an increasingly strange reality these deeper questions beg to be answered, lest we perpetuate mistakes we made before. This will likely be a painful and arduous process, since it will require us to question the most deep-seated truths we hold to be self-evident. Hopefully, this will lead to an increasingly peaceful and wondrous reality for all subjectivities.

The next phase of this philosophy will be to generate a proposition for what systems can attain a state of wonder. I'm not sure the best way to go about this, since I'm not even sure if a system has to be subjective to wonder or not. Maybe.
