The Metaphysical Significance of Pi July 22, 2008

In the figure above, the event (or experience) ‗
P
‘ is directly andcausally linked to event ‗
Q
‘
, but they appear separate, distinct, andunrelated from the vantage point of normal linear consciousness.
For example, event ‗
P
‘ might represent you losing your job, and event‗
Q
‘ might represent you finding a new job.
These two events are, of course, linked together within your own
subjective
consciousness, but it is the surrounding
objective
circumstances that compose each event (and that are beyond yourcontrol) that we often assume are not directly causally linked witheach other.The circumstances surrounding these two events
would
be obviouslycausally connected with each other if, for example, your bossdismissed you from one position in the firm and then rehired you inanother position in the same firm. In this case, the will and intent of your boss represents the obvious causal connection.But consider this alternative example:D
uring event ‗
P
‘ you might have
lost your sales job as a result of youremployer going out of business.In this case, e
vent ‗
P
‘
appears to be the result of impinging
‗chaotic‘
forces that are beyond your control, and that impose new challengingconditions on your life (and upon
your boss‘s life).
Let‘s say that in the lead up to event ‗
P
‘ y
ou felt extremelydissatisfied with your job as a salesperson, and that you alwayswanted to instead work as a designer in the fashion industry. Butyou stayed in your sales position for the financial security itprovided, and your interest in fashion design remained merely ahobby.
But during event ‗
P
‘,
fate
seemed to strike and you were forcedout of your dreary job.

Wow, what absolute drivel. The author doesn't seem to know what i.e. means half the time, repeats himself ad nauseum, makes claims and assumptions with no supporting rational, and doesn't seem to have even a basic grasp of science. I would like to get some of what he was smoking when he wrote this though...
