I like his take on wisdom being proper model construction but I don't see the need to bring religion or any other belief system into it.

  What exactly is a model if not a belief system?
  • greenlblue 16y ago
    A model is something more concrete. It has a physical aspect and incorporates ideas about consequences in reality so a belief system is not necessarily a model the way I have defined it.

      From what you're saying I take it that belief systems are essentially axioms. It is fundamentally impossible to create a model without some set of axioms that cannot be proven, so clearly you have a belief system that involves some axioms involving reproducibility and logical proofs. Just because you assume it to be an absolute truth does not make it so.

        Not axioms. Axioms don't need a basis in reality that's what I'm saying. I require something more stringent than a set of axioms for a belief system.

          You define reality by some set of unprovable axioms. That is your belief system.
