Symbols are merely information transducers. The map is not the
territory. Worshipping the symbols[or the scientific method] is
tantamount to deliberate ignorance of the facts. Symbols can transduce our observations of the real world, nothing more.<hr height="1" noshade id="quote"></blockquote id="quote"></font id="quote">
symbols <b>do not have to be</b> transducers. that depends on the thinker and therefore there it is no necessary worship of the symbols if there is the freedom to question. all symbols are open to question, if the question is valid. the only ignorance of facts comes from the ego and of ones belief, which can be stronger than Reason.
also these symbols can come from the lack of knowledge and/or the willingness to learn other perspectives. which here on this site we try to do.
to say that these "symbols" transduce observation depends on the Natural Philosophy induced.
which at this this point your perspective is out of date and incomplete.
this is because your reasoning does not take into account Cosmic Plasmas and Plasmas.
