Quote by Dr. Thomas Stark

“We are minds thinking about the universe. We have bodies. We have senses. Imagine the universe as a mind thinking about itself. Its body is the observable universe, but that’s not the whole universe. It has an unobservable mind – the immaterial Singularity from which the material universe came. We humans, with our bodies and senses, are the means for the universe to sense itself.”

Empiricism doesn’t prove shit. It’s total anti-knowledge. It relies on induction and inference, but, as Hume showed, induction doesn’t prove anything (a black swan can pop up at any time), and inference has no place in empiricism: if you can’t perceive it, you have no right, in empiricism, to refer to it”
