A Comment on Tolerance, the Absolute and Moral Relativism

 AI overview- "Søren Kierkegaard vehemently criticized Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel's concept of the "Absolute" and his comprehensive philosophical system. Kierkegaard argued that Hegel's objective system ignored the individual's subjective experience, passion, and personal choice, which he believed were essential to human existence." People tend to use the word absolute promiscuously, while alternatively moral relativism can be an antinomy in support of intellectual lassitude. Perhaps acting Biblically according to conscience is better than forming an abstract, objective theory about it.

Soren Kierkegaard, Socratic Irony, Jaimungal and Authentic Being

 I took a MOOC course from the Univ. of Copenhagen named Kierkegard and Socratic irony. Kierkegaard and Socrates each showed that social reality is inauthentic yet persuasive, inclusive and convincing. The aesthetic and employ paradigms in Curt Jaimungal’s terms would miss out on reality and the Christian born again relationship. Humans are embedded in an enigmatic mass-energy field of some sort. To be more and different than that requires spiritual rebirth. Siren Kirkegore (phonetic) is a Christian existentialist in the sense of regarding the apparent field of being as phenomenal. He regarded smug German romanticism as missing the point of authentic existence with Christ. Romantics including Hegel, Socrates and Nietzsche all regarded social reality somewhat inimically. Yet they missed the right response- Hegel less so with his evolution of the Spirit in history context. That is a clever analysis yet I think it fails being included in the tradition of French rationalism ... Descartes, Sartre etc.

On thermodynamics and the 'arrow of time'; It seems a convenient way of cheating to say that one's math, theories or assumptions regarding entropy are correct for set U when given the unobservable set X  containing reciprocals proving theories about set U are correct.
