Funy conclusion
Hari bol
pamho
Would anybody like to add to below conclusions some Vedic references? This is
is a good example of the perfection in aroha pantha (ascending path).
Everything finite is a component of some larger system (WILBER, 1995). It must
be concluded that everything is subject to limits in its natural variation.
Personal experience emphasizes this fact. Perhaps this is recognized most
clearly in observing that humans are limited in what can be known (FOWLER et
al., 1999) or what can be conceptualized (MCINTYRE, 1997). Thus, not only are
there limits to what can be done and what humans can be, but humans are limited
in what can be understood. Knowledge itself is limited. In part, the experience
of these limits, along with other limitations, is related to the fact that
finite things are, by their very nature, limited. The models used to represent
things can not be all inclusive and the results of exercises based on models
are thereby subject to error; being limited, models are real but not reality,
just as maps are not the territory (BATESON, 1972, 1979; models are never the
reality they represent). Thus, science is limited. This
is experienced in the inability to recombine information from the things that
are studied (what might be called the Humpty–Dumpty effect, or syndrome, NIXON
& KREMER, 1977; DUNSTAN & JOPE, 1993; REGAL, 1996; HORGAN, 1999). Even more of
the limits of science are experienced in the inability to adequately or
accurately assign importance to the influence (limiting or otherwise) of each
factor made the focus of research (ALLEN & STARR, 1982; BARTHOLOMEW, 1982;
ROSENBERG, 1985; SALTHE, 1985; GROSS, 1989; PETERS, 1991; PICKETT et al.,
1994).
Note: Humpty Dumpty is a character in a Mother Goose rhyme, portrayed as an
anthropomorphized egg.
"The Humpty Dumpty Effect --
When doing our best isn't good enough"
Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall;
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.
All the king's horses
And all the King's men
Couldn't put Humpty Dumpty together again.
Hare Krishna
