The Philosophical Debate Thread

[Saltwater]

What I have gathered from being alive, is

Life is a form of order within chaos- it consumes chaos and churns out order in the form of living things and structures (people, plants and animals consuming the raw materials of light, water and reproducing) but there is no reason to it- because reason is not important.
And thus we are all, independantly, a different aspect to a collective beast- life. We are moving, but to where it matters not! Yes, we are the photons, we are the brain, but we are so insignificant (but not unimportant) in comparison to the life.
I suppose in that way there are probably other... systems, that are unimaginable.

The chaos theory sounds interesting, what is it? :o

wiki is your best friend:-

Chaos theory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

basically, it just refutes the anthropomorphic concept that imposes an "order" on the universe

[Saltwater]

Thanks! I agree with that on the whole, Wiki is a smart friend.

I would agree. But, would not ever enter wikdictionary, without first roaming the dictionary. It would wise to know exactly what you are researching, because it is an encyclopedia. Key 'en + cyclo + ped + ia' Now, break it down, and see how far around in circles any Word can run you. And, it is a long walk, trust me.

whoops! wrong word - should be "anthropologically theomorphic"

(i'm starting to sound like the guy in the tower in Scary Movie 3)

Chaos theory doesn't refute anything. It's just a collection of mathematical tools to use to understand the emergent behavior of deterministic systems that are unpredictable because of their sensitivity to initial conditions. It's like saying chess theory refutes something. Chess theory is just a toolbag.

Laws and principles and such can refute things, but "theory" is a word used in academia to represent a collection of observations and tendencies, not the way laymen used it when they "have a theory".

Chaos theory is based on the theory of entropy, or that a system's components will eventually break down into their simplest components

or, at least, that's what Jurassic Park taught me

the Jeff Goldblum guy there is confusing it with Thermodynamics

that's the law of entropy - the 2nd thermodynamic

I guess if we are going to debate. I would have to ask you as well.

Prove to me that Chaos is a theory?

In exact definition. I would prefer it, that you use your own Words, not quote someone else.

If you want something right, do it yourself. Never believe anything you read, and only half of what you hear. So, do the research, and come up with your own 'theory'. And, I will then 'discuss' how you either being misled, or, how you are correct. And, you are free to use anything 'mythology', including the 'mythology' of any book ever written. Because, I know even Jurassic is a True story. It's not fiction. I know it's a True story, I saw it a few times.

And, I know it is not a theory. And, I have no idea who or what the 'theory' implies. But, I do know Chaos, and I do know 'theory'. And, I do not believe what you 'learned' from Jurassic Park. Unless, you can substantiate with your own evidence, what you 'learned' from a movie. And, I certainly believe in 'dinosaurs'. I know I am a dinosaur.)

It was a really great movie, I do agree on that.)
