All Imputs

In order to come to a truly agreeable and reliable decision with neutrality, would we not have to include views and observations from all regions that apply to the problem?
If we wish to derive solutions by looking  at only observational facts it would only make sense to have a  representative from each view. I do not mean from both supernaturalist and naturalist, but rather from every group that could observe an event differently. For example, a person from a lower class may observe something in a completely different manner than someone from a higher class. We may all observe the same event but, even without supernatural or scientific thoughts, find a different meaning. So, when trying to come to the best solution for a problem we would have to look at every different angle to truly find the answer that would solve all aspects of the issue.

Satisfaction in Art

In class it was breifly mentioned that art was one of the most fufilling activies or hobbies. This is based off the idea that we find the most satisfaction from things that we must learn and work for. That being true, art is probalably the most staisfying. Not only does it usually take a very long time to learn and master, but it it has an endless spand of possibilites. There are countless mediums to learn and with each and every year there is some new form of art, from of visual expression, to learn and understand. There is no point in which the art world has stopped, it keeps on continuing, expanding, so there is always room to be more satisfied.

Time Travel and Determinism

The idea of determinism had me thinking of time travel. If, in the future, time travel was ever made possible it is logical, under the definition of determinism, that it would be an endless chain of events. Say that time travel was suddenly made possible and you went back to past to attempt to fix something you've done. If you follow the idea that every action in the universe is predetermined and on a set, unchangeable course, then time travel would be too. This means that no matter what, you were meant to time travel, and your actions while time traveling would not change anything because it was already determined to. Likewise your 'past self' would still follow the same path and take the same steps and course, going back in time. All in all it would be an endless chain and the fact that your 'future self' had gone back in would already have been detirmined and would have played a part in the 'origional' action.
