  • Islam and AI weighing incommensurables

    The question is whether AI can decide between duty and desire with duty of promise made to friend and desired date.  I would choose wife over friend because in arranged marriage duty is more important than desire. Friend would fall in category of desire.

  • Towards semitic scientosophy

    Ishmael Abraham Alperovich Anatoly We can create a semitic scientosophy. By bridging Einstein and Spinoza. Einstein compared quantum mechanics to story of Esau.
    Ishmael Abraham Alperovich Anatoly By keeping commandments and studying science at the same time and expressing science in scriptural terms. Like calling son sacrifice a kind of voluntary euthanasia. One needs both imagination and intelligence for that.
  • How long construction of a semi effective intercultural bridge will take?

    I intend to introduce dialectical traditionalists like neo Ghazzalis to latest research on compatibilism, because secularists in west blame him for regressive East because he considered legal praxis more important than ideas, but Feynman considered it a strength instead of weakness. Even Afro American secularist scientist named Niel uttered the same cliche lazily. In fact I have inspired a fundamentalist to study philosophy at university. While you are more qualified to make western thought more diverse and universal by studying modern thought of integralism and reluctantly existential psychology ( as some open minded westerners think it enables imperialism which I do not know why) and when you grow too old to study perennialism. But this mutual bridge construction is a two century project I guess.

  • Epipaleolithic faith

  • Neo orthodoxy vs neurotic mysticism

  • Are Kalash modernists?

    They reject Christianity and modernity as well. Pakistani traditionalists should ally with them against cultural destruction by modernity

  • Meditative depersonalization

    Елесин Милош I am an engineer so I know how to be a pious materialist. One can achieve a meditative depersonalization through five prayers which make you see professional world from out of body.

  • Spontaneous humanity of Hadith

    Quran requires philosophical stamina. Hadith has spontaneous humanity.

    Zev Piro Quran indeed requires philosophical stamina. But what do you mean by spontaneous humanity?
    Ishmael Abraham Zev Piro Everyone can relate to it. Like make things easy for others, and do not make things difficult for others. Give them good news, do not make them hate.
    Zev Piro Ishmael Abraham ah, I understand what you mean now. Makes sense.
