Universals Versus Particulars: The Ultimate Intellectual War Quotes

“Some people believe that explanations which do not involve matter are supernatural. In fact, material explanations are themselves supernatural. How can lifeless matter produce life? There’s nothing natural about that. How can mindless matter produce mind? What’s natural about that? How can temporal and contingent matter come into existence in the first place? You can’t get existence from non-existence. That’s logic 101.”

“Light is massless, maximally time dilated and maximally length contracted. It’s immaterial. It’s mind! Light is the carrier wave of the universe. It’s the universal, the absolute, condition regarding which all material particulars are relative. Light is the Singularity. Light is mind, light is life. Light is God. Light endures forever, meaning that life and mind endure forever. Light is absolute. It has an absolute speed. All particulars come from light.”
