METAPHYSICS
I am pretty convinced that all the evidence available to us today confirms that we experience the material universe correspondingly.
That our perception can be extended to both micro and macro scales through devices.
That our perception of causal relations can be extended through recording information at micro, normal, and macro scales and then replaying these recordings at higher speed so that patterns emerge within our visible perceptions.
That our perception of such causal relations is limited by the very small number of axis of causality we can cognitively identify.
That our ability to improve this process of causal analysis is limited by our current concept of mathematics.
That our deductive capabilities are jaundiced by our various cognitive biases.
That our particular human preferences limit our ability to reason clearly.
That the variation in human ability and rationality limit our collective accomplishment.
And that superior intelligence, memory, and perception would only increase the rate at which we comprehend these relations
That superior distributions of knowledge and intelligence would further improve that rate.
And that different biases and preferences would do little more than impede that understanding in different ways.
But there is little if any evidence that the vast metaphysical and epistemological distraction enthralling the philosophical profession has produced insight or value.
Humans must act. All else is entertainment.
