[MD] The difference between a Monet and a finger painting

[markhsmit]

Hi Ron,

If I have an agenda, please let me know what it is.  I am simply trying to
figure things out from a metaphysical perspective.  If my opinions sound
somewhat driven, it is simply because I would like to get a response
and learn in the process.  I have no clear idea on a final reality,
only a scattered puzzle of ideas.  Responses help me understand
my own thinking, nothing more.  More often than not I do not have an
inkling about what people are posting.

Sorry if my ideas are offending in any way.

Mark
Thats right, I remember you now...
no, you would'nt have an inkling to what I'm talking about.

good luck 
with your agenda

-Ron

Why does matter have the nature where it is capable of absorbing energy and
converting it?  This is a philosophical question because although one can
say "that is just the property of matter", this leaves us humans wanting. 

Ron:
Matter is energy...reducing the question to "why is there energy."
why does existence exist? to simplify the querey.
Is asking "why does existence exist" meaningful?
Rather than "how does existence exist"? Asking "why"
points to a psycological need for reason, one that myth
and theology supply and apply to the unknowable dynamic.
Asking why is asking to define the indefinable..betterness is 
relative, leaving it meaningless in any sort of definable sense.
Krimel makes a good point.

Hi Ron,
Science asks why all the time.  That is how we make discoveries.  Your iPod is
a product of Einstein's asking why.  I think asking why is highly useful, whether
you and Krimel believe so or not.

It is not asking why energy exists, it is asking why it manifests itself
in the way it does.  This is the basis for Quality in MoQ.

But, thanks for your opinion.

Mark
