That sounds wonderful but doesn't mean anything.
An interesting quote from the article:
For many, Bergson’s defeat represented a victory of “rationality” against “intuition.” It marked a moment when intellectuals were no longer able to keep up with revolutions in science due to its increasing complexity.
- pasabagi 8y ago> That sounds wonderful but doesn't mean anything. Why do you think that? I think you have to really understand a field to say that a given statement in it is meaningless. Or are you simply stating that it doesn't mean anything to you? (Which would, after all, be expected if you weren't an expert).
- vaughanb 8y agoNo, it really is just a couple of fancy words strung together. Let's deconstruct it: 1) Space -- Einstein has shown that it's really Space-Time 2) Mind -- there is no real agreement on what "mind" means. Brain? Consciousness? Brain is well defined, consciousness no so. 3) Time -- the 4th dimension of space-time, right? So "Time is the Mind of Space" deconstructs to: "the 4th dimension of space-time is <something to do with thought or thinking or consciousness> of the other three dimensions of space-time."
