How to understand anything and everything: The dome of the cathedral of head and heart


Recommended Posts

How to understand anything and everything. Is it talent or skill that allows people to understand? The answer to me is a bit of both. Low latent inhibition seems to be the theme that appears to me from experience. Low latent inhibition is hard to teach but we can learn from what has been gleaned from those who do have low latent inhibition and who are willing to share what they have seen. Being able to understand anything and everything also is a bit of an art. Which is to say, it can be practiced. The more you do it, the more easily it can become. It is also important to note that to solve, we must also have the right information in our heads. Once we have the right information in our heads, it still does not automatically mean that the solution will appear. We must also iterate on our attempts to reconcile parts that we fail to unite into a coherent framework. Once you do that, you will have the dome of the cathedral of what you plan to understand. Reconciliation of parts that you fail to unite is therefore the final key to the dome of the cathedral of head and heart. All that is left is to run the logic forward and find what is implied from the ultimate framework or create the next big thing that runs from the fundamental logic or create something that can find and create all that comes from the fundamental axioms or factors.
 
Reconciling head and heart in morality
Kantianism is the heart of morality. It comes from the work of Christianity. Christianity is the ultimate kindness. Utilitarianism is the head of morality. It believes that more is better. We reconcile the two by saying that we want what flows from the heart of morality. The more of what flows from the heart of morality, the better. The heart believes in putting humanity as an end. What flows from putting humanity as an end is progress. What is progress? To me, one part of progress is finding meaning because it can lead to progress and is inspiring, the next is understanding because understanding can lead to progress and is inspiring, and finally, faith can lead to progress because faith will stop us from destroying each other and is inspiring. The key lies in all three. We help people find meaning and find meaning ourselves, we help people understand and understand as much as we can ourselves, and we have as much faith as we can to not forsake ourselves and others, noting that not forsaking ourselves does not mean we stubbornly walk down a path we might have randomly chosen, we may need to iterate to finally get the understanding we need to find the meaning that we want in life, and not forsaking others doesn’t mean we can’t jail them for not being able to understand.
