I am traveling for the next couple of weeks and not sure how often I will be writing while I am on the road. Some philosophical thoughts to end this week. There are things that start as mysteries and stay that way until the mystery is resolved and there are things that feel obvious and slowly take on a mysterious hue. Example of the first: God. Starting with their existence, we wonder who or what is God and whether we can know them. Or the fundamental laws of the universe: we don’t know what they are until we do. Example of the second: consciousness. Everyone knows what it is to be conscious and it takes enormous effort to question its immediacy, whether that’s done via philosophical probing or through artistic exploration.
