Truth or Truth?

Just philosophizing a little bit about truth and existence ...

Ostensibly, we can verify much as being objectively true in this reality. But what if objectivity itself is subjective?

I can assert that I objectively exist and believe it to be objectively true, but it presupposes that there isn't an even larger subjective framework that encompasses that very objectivity rendering it as an actual (and from our present location a non-perceivable) subjectivity.

I guess we must accomodate the possibility simply because we can't know. Thus, objectivity is not verifiable is it? And if we can't verify objectivity itself then how can we verify "truth"? (Everything in this reality determined to be objective truth may actually not be.)

I mentioned above that I objectively exist... but maybe I don't... or maybe I actually both do *AND* don't exist simultaneously. How can that be though?

(I don't mean to necessarily bring a supernatural being into this, but this is the only thing I could come up with so readily.)

Let's boldly imagine that outside of our so-called "reality" there exists a supernatural being who is having a dream. Have you ever had a dream with people in it that you didn't know and had never seen before in waking life? I'm sure I have. Unrecognized generic "characters" inside your dream that don't have any actual existence in the real world. Let's imagine further that we (you and I) are inside the dream this being is having and he doesn't recognize any of us. (We're just generic "characters" populating his sleep.)

The being knows (when he wakes up) that we existed inside of his dream, but he also knows that we no longer exist now that he's awake. From our own frame of reference right now we objectively exist, but if we are actually inside the being's dream, we objectively *don't* exist (from the being's own frame of reference when he's awake) and never did. Since we can accomodate this scenario as a theoretical possibility we're forced to regard our own present objective existence as an actual *subjective* objective existence (in the absence of verification for the objectivity's intrinsic objectivity).

So, from our presently limited frame of reference our ostensibly objective existence here is merely a subjectively objective existence (until we can confirm the objectivity of the objectivity) and that very same subjectively objective existence may also be simultaneously an objectively objective non-existence (if indeed a dreamer is dreaming us).

Maybe "existence" is a coin [the "coin of the realm(s)" as it were] with objectivity struck on one of its surfaces and subjectivity struck on the other and thus "truth" is really represented by a dualism of existential opposites.

Irresponsible Predictions

Somehow I have gotten into a nasty habit of "impulsive (or is it compulsive) predicting".

It occurs to me that this is very irresponsible and can only serve to damage my credibility (such as it is up to this point Roll Eyes) as the failures continue to mount over time.

I have no business predicting for all three numbers (groups) when in actuality I have figured for only any two of them.

As of right now I won't post any more of these type predictions but will instead opt to wait until I have a clear bead on what all three of the columns are doing and not just what any two are doing.

This will result only in failure anyway since the phenomenon requires the use of all three columns.

I will however continue to predict particular sequences in the particular orders that I believe they will appear. (I just won't make any more irresponsible "guesses" toward what will appear in the column that I didn't figure for.)

I guess I was just excited to relate any ol' thing I managed to pick up in my examinations of these states' recent drawings.

There's no need for me to rush these things anyway. A renewed dedication to discipline and patience on my part is called for. 

Please disregard the WV Daily 3 prediction I made earlier. I am not confident at all now that it will appear -- not tonight anyway. (There is a chance that it still may show up -- if not tonight -- over the course of the next few drawings though.)

I apologize for wasting your time with my irresponsible predictions.

Regards eveyone.

WV Daily 3: "BBB"

I managed to follow briefly a beautiful logic up to a point this morning (and it is a beautiful logic between the columns that the AV is always following).

I am willing to make myself vulnerable and predict that the Friday April 27th West Virgina Daily 3 will be:

"BBB"

A little irresponsible though to make a prediction on it in that I followed the logic along only up to a point before I lost it.

The only real harm will be to my already tenous credibility.  Big Grin

But I'll let it stand.

Regards.

Holding Steady

With regard to the predictions in the preceding post:

This evening's Minnesota Daily 3 drawing: "BBC" (498) 

Nothing ruined yet.

Hold steady and see if it turns out the way I have indicated -- at least wait to see if the middle and upper scenarios will come up in the order I specified.

Pay attention to the arrows -- they are key for understanding the order of the sequences.

Regards.

Predicting Sequences

Date: Thursday April 26, 2007 

A= 012

B= 3456

C= 789

I would like to post some predictions here about sequences that will appear in a particular order.

This is experimental and it is likely I will make mistakes with it:

In the Minnesota Daily 3:

I am predicting the next occurrence of a B in the right column will be accompanied by an A in the left column.

<-----

A  ?  B

******

But before that "A ? B" drawing appears, I am predicting that this will show first:

 ----->

A  ?  C

But before that "A ? C" drawing appears, I am predicting that (quite probably) this will show first:

 ----->

C  ?  C
