Un dieu donne le feu
Pour faire l'enfer;
Un diable, le miel
Pour faire le ciel.
TRACTATUS PARADOXICO-PHILOSOPHICUS
| 23 | Searching for “Reality”: consider logical observers forming hierarchies to reach for “reality”. |
| 23.1 | However, these hierarchies make any decision from the “top” seem appropriate, since it elicits no resistance or criticism from “below” due to implicit or explicit intimidation from “above”. |
| 23.2 | Hierarchies stimulate irresponsibility, arrogance and slave holding towards the top and diligence, obedience and slavery towards the bottom. |
| 23.3 | Foresight, creativity and imagination vanish at all levels, making of these hierarchies a population of ants in an anthill, predictable creatures, and humans no more. |
| 23.4 | “Reality”, chosen (distinguished) towards the top of the hierarchy and accepted towards the bottom remains a firmly adopted delusion as any other unquestioned belief. |
| 24 | Tentative realities: consider paradoxical observers that choose (invent) many complex (self-organizing, unpredictable) environments that include the observers. |
| 24.1 | Tentative realities correspond to as many or more flexible, unpredictable environments as paradoxical observers involved. |
| 24.2 | These observers interact through the processes shared by their paradoxical contexts, defined by the observers and their cognitive domains. |
| 24.21 | They interact through tentative environments and playing tentative language-games. |
| 24.3 | Since organizationally closed unities define and maintain themselves, they appear to these observers as the only possible unities. |
| 24.31 | All the rest appears to these observers as a mere consequence of their activity: tentative environments, with all their tentative distinctions and interactions, offered by paradoxical observers to themselves and to others through education and rejected or adopted by logical observers through instruction. |
| 24.32 | All originates and ends in the observers (organizationally closed unities). |
| 25 | Propositions and distinctions: while using language, logical observers make distinctions, thereby attaching specific possibilities of truth (true or false), of value (good or bad), of inclusion (included or excluded), of logic (logical or paradoxical), etc., to propositions (including this one) and to sets of propositions (such as books, texts, etc.). |
| 25.1 | These observers explain and communicate among each other adopting or rejecting propositions about objects and events, morality, aesthetic, beliefs, etc., as if propositions mirrored a world “out there” (“reality”) separated from the observer of the world. |
| 25.11 | These observers adopt a language and theorize. |
| 25.12 | This leads to knowledge inspired by logical reasoning alone, to information, to certainty and to scientific understanding alone, to incomprehension and to dogmatism. |
