This is a blog that takes the name of my magnum opus on scientific philosophy called "The Scientific Worldview." Reviewers have called it “revolutionary,” “exhilarating,” “magnificent,” “fascinating,” and even “a breathtaking synthesis of all understanding.” There is very little math in it, no religion, no politics, no psycho-babble, and no BS. It provides the first outline of the philosophical perspective that will develop during the last half of the Industrial-Social Revolution.

[FAQ] Why can't people post comments on my blog?
The Blogger / Google login status, and the ability to post comments, is sensitive to both cookie and script filters. Your readers may need to enable (stop filtering) "third party cookies", in their browser and on their computer. The effects of the newly unavoidable CAPTCHA, and the Google "One account" login, requires third party cookies, even more than before.

Third party cookies filtering, in a browser setting, is the most common solution, overall - but your readers may have to search for other filter(s) that affect their use of Blogger / Google.
Any filters are subject to update, by the creator. If the problem started a few days ago, your readers may have to look on their computers, and find out what product or accessory was updated, a few days ago.

The supremacy of religion does not necessarily end with globalization. Indeed, the insidious materialism that follows the "globalization" (another name for imperialism) of the West seems to call for a still-greater religious need.
ReplyDeleteI recommend reading a book called "The Power of Myth" by the great American anthropologist Joseph Campbell. He describes the need for a "global religion" in response to globalization.
I suppose you are right. Determinism is nothing without indeterminism. I am not sure, however, that I really want to see the battles that would be required for Christianity and Islam to settle their differences in order to become a single religion. Perhaps both will be replaced by some kind of New Age claptrap.

If you are a determinist, be sure to sort by the lowest ratings, so you won't waste your time.
