Axioms

Axioms

From what I remember of geometry, an axiom is a fact that is asserted rather than proven. It serves as a basis from which the rest of the ideas are proven from. Math is often interesting because even though the number of axioms on which it is based is fairly small, the ramifications of those axioms are still not understood and are still being explored.

In the future, if some of these happen to be proven false, I'll have to revisit a lot of what I write later, but I'm pretty sure I'm not going to change my mind on these. (Famous last words...)

1. Natural laws are immutable and observable. That means they will never change and it is logically possible to test them.
2. There is no such thing as a supernatural entity or effect. Powers or beings that cannot be observed and tested cannot be presumed to exist.
3. Nothing has an intrinsic purpose.

A reader (in the case of this blog, a purely hypothetical reader) may note that this is a pretty short list, and some or all of those points are pretty boring. How could someone develop a theory of Theory of Life from that?

Well, like I said before, even a small number of axioms can have complex interactions. Since this is all about touchy feely philosophy, my interpretation of what these things mean is probably more important than the axioms themselves.

Also, I might later find out that I've painted myself into a corner, and everything I ever thought was a lie. While I might feel like a piece of worthless poo for a while, at least I'll learn that I was full of logical excrement.
