I'm back to Anselm's Proslogion in the Sadler's Lectures podcast. Here's the first new episode in this series, looking at chapter 3 and 4, where Anselm expands on his argument for the existence of God

A Memo on the Need for Intervention During this Ontological Crisis of Individualistic #Capitalist Motivations

anticapitalism.blog/a-memo-on-

"I no longer know if we deserve such a gifted life that a post-capitalist society would bring. What I can see is that we are not only in an extreme climate crisis, but also an #ontological crisis of #individualism and humanity if we are to survive in a resemblance of manner that seeks out justice, peace, and the warm desire to see other be their best selves."

I recall in my teens I often had moments of clarity that were completely, 100% creative in nature. I was very creative back then, always making some form of art, most often music. So we can see that #ontological moments are based on what we know. Now in my mid-40s moments of clarity have returned, after a long absence. Often they are secular, all-seeing, holistic, and fitting. But sometimes the clarity draws on my years of religious studies, so naturally, they are spiritual. So very subjective.

📢#OutNow in #OA: 'A Relational Realist Vision for Education Policy and Practice', by Basem Adi.

This volume argues that relational realism can help us to make better #educational #policy that is more effective in practice. Basem Adi draws on critical realism to thoroughly re-examine fundamental assumptions about how #government #policymaking works, developing an #ontological basis from which to examine existing #government approaches and imagine an alternative approach based on a relational realist-informed critical #pedagogy.

Adi casts familiar issues in a new light by drawing on a less familiar theoretical and #metatheoretical tradition, offering a critique that can be productively engaged with by many #educational organizations to tackle the issues they face.

"The generally delocalized rank-1 projectors..describe its fundamental elements..highest-rank projectors corresponding to individual localized objects describe an emergent model..whose masses & energies may be negative or imaginary. This retrocausal top–down model leads to an intuitive particle-based..picture, wherein weak measurements directly probe the properties of these.., which exist whether or not they are actually measured"

"A popular view in contemporary of is that while there are many arguments for -- , , and arguments; arguments; arguments from ; etc. (...) -- there are only one or two arguments for atheism, viz., the problem of and (more recently) the argument from hiddenness.

This is a misconception. Here are well over 150"

"The system" doesn't exist outside our mindsets, logics, values. It's embedded in and reproduced by them.

So we can't possibly speak about #systemchange without speaking of change of what's fundamentally system's foundation.

Hence my interest in #ontological change. Just making that clear to myself too :)

Are our religious #beliefs justifiable? In other words, which of our faith claims are #ontological claims? Which are subjective claims?

We must ask because we usually have faith that our beliefs are true, yet faith is not synonymous with #knowledge.

And now an even deeper question: How can anyone know that any of our claims about beliefs or knowledge are true? We feel like we have knowledge ("I know that such-and-such is true") but how did we come to know this?

#epistemology

I think #SystemsTheory (#SystemsThinking and #SystemsDynamics ) with #Attractors and #Affordances gives us a good path to #Ought from #Is. The #ontological reality of the #system you are in defines the #moral landscape on which you operate.

Recently read this articl about "why we should embrace #Ontological #Humility":

spin.atomicobject.com/2020/05/
I understand #EpistemicHumility but don't know where to put the #OntologicalHumility.

Just because we are not able to perceive the "true" #Reality, that does not mean such a thing does not exist and that we all live in our own little #AlternativeReality.

I think a much better term would be #ControlHumility for the fact that our #control capabilities do not extend beyond controlling our own internal #state.

As an illustration of the pervasive lack of control humility in our society, in a recent discussion, I've got this comment: "This controller's "internal" states just controlled you, or you would not have responded."😀

For priest, vulnerable to #clericalist narcissism and bishop embedded in it, interpretation of #ontological change that posits an actual merger with being of #Christ at moment of ordination can support a belief that clergy are called by God to be inherently superior to others

#Quine hold that quantification entails #ontological commitments, in this case, a commitment to the existence of possible worlds

dependent origination has no place for a creator God nor #ontological #Vedic concept called universal Self (Brahman) nor any other 'transcendent creative principle
there is no ‘first cause’ from which all beings arose, instead, every thing arises in dependence on something else
