Friday: Hili dialogue

February 7, 2014 • 6:36 am

Hili seems to be expanding her curiosity beyond her solipsistic world of birds, rodents, and nonliving noms:

Hili: So, how is it with religion and science?
A: First people tried to give horse sense answers to difficult questions.
Hili: That’s religion. And science?
A: Then they exchanged a dull blade for Occam’s razor.

religiainauka

In Polish:

li: To jak to jest z tą religią i nauką?
Ja: Najpierw ludzie próbowali odpowiadać na trudne pytania na chłopski rozum.
Hili: To religia, a nauka?
Ja: A potem zamienił stryjek kijek na brzytwę Ockhama.

  1. “First people tried to give horse sense answers to difficult questions.”
    Well, that’s one way to put it. When I think of religion, I tend to think of a different product from a horse.
    😉

  2. It is a pleasing metaphor, exchanging a dull blade for an observationally-hewn razor. How deep science reaches is one of the most profound pleasures in all of existence. Its potential is something to be admired and it inspires so much, quenching my mind with exhilaration.

  3. Hili, of course, is well acquainted with the effectiveness of sharp objects. Her paws and mouth are overflowing with them. Her mind, too….

  4. birds, rodents, and nonliving noms

    I see Hili support the principle of NOM:

    Natural and non-natural noms are both subjects susceptible to nomming.
