“Love is of something, and that which love desires is not that which love is or has....And love is of the beautiful, and therefore has not the beautiful. And the beautiful is the good, and therefore, in wanting and desiring the beautiful, love also wants and desires the good.” P

@thrisasten @GKCdaily @rebeca6169 But this seems to imply that moral consciousness must arrive-- in the end--at the beginning, that is, that we must know the end before the journey. Yet if this is true, then experience seems not to play a part in the formation of moral values and the fixity of our moral truths.

[Mark Fagiano @MarkFagiano]

@thrisasten @GKCdaily @rebeca6169 These claims are truly beautiful for their clarity, and perhaps, clearly beautiful if true. This would mean that variations of our moral senses could not alter the fixed impermanence of moral values and truths, and we would only to find these fixed ends and live them #truth

[Mark Fagiano @MarkFagiano]

@thrisasten @GKCdaily @rebeca6169 Thanks for your kind and succinct response! I find the very notion of “moral values” to be somewhat incoherent for a few reasons and,if you are willing, I hope you could shed some light upon the idea itself so that i might grasp your meaning of this term?

Answers to questions are conceivably infinite, yet ought not our questions outnumber our answers?

[Mark Fagiano @MarkFagiano]

@thrisasten @GKCdaily @rebeca6169 Hobbesian Leviathan?..perhaps something more politically malicious? By “machinery” I was referring to technological advances and using them to enhance moral sense. The human animal no longer exists, tech is being brought into our bodies and the tech panopticon encircles us.

@thrisasten @GKCdaily @rebeca6169 Clearly, the machinery of Twitter is confusing enough for me ...watch out for the scattering of words in the wrong places!

[Mark Fagiano @MarkFagiano]

@rebeca6169 I did not introduce a #dualism here. My point was clear: “religious”folks often gravitate towards narratives of similitude and sameness and tend to ignore the complexity and vast relationally of things—this tendency can be explained by evolutionary science.

[Mark Fagiano @MarkFagiano]

I think the worship of similitude among religious folk operates as a functional process that dissuades them from thinking about the sheer and vast multiplicity, complexity--the infinity--of things and their relations.

[🌿_ @rebeca6169]

@MarkFagiano @GKCdaily I have the opposite view so far: that all great religious and spiritual traditions contain the same truths, intuitions and teachings ... just worded in different ways. But the essence, I think, is the same, common to all of them.
