I do like your idea of cosmological stories being one snapshot of a partial reality, but new ones? and- where do you think this will lead, and why do you want to get there
Thanks for those analogies but would I use them in characterising my project?
Not sure.
They might suggest I know what the mountain top is, which I dont.
I would prefer to say cosmologies try to describe what people understand, most of it interrelated, like a kaleidoscope, but I wont say I am fully confident of how this kaleidoscope reflects reality and takes part in shaping it.
I see them as taking part in shaping reality and as reflecting it to a degree.
I love cosmologies.
They are both beautiful toys and powerful devices.
They are forms of art as well as a kind of technology.
I see them as being tools we discover, craft, experience that help us shape our worlds.
Why develop them? For fun. To gain power. To see the world in different ways. To reshape the mind. To catalyse extraordinary experiences, among other possibilities.
I like this- Art is the shining forth of one's interiority.- MuXin
