philosophy

i remember having read this Problems in Philosophy: the Limits of Inquiry more than a year ago. i was impressed.

i liked the argument put forth in it, that humans might be limited by their cognitive closure explaining or resolving philosophical problems. more of my thoughts on this @ a later time.

ok, my thoughts now.
i think sentience was selected for its ability 2 solve immediate problems of survival and probably procreation @ a later time than solving philosophical problems. just consider this simple scenario, i can survive without thinking about philosophical problems, but i wouldn't be able 2 survive without food, clothing, shelter etc..

disclaimer:@ this point in time, i'm a believer in evolutionary theory but am willing 2 give this up if i find a more compelling theory in future.
