Intelligence Tests Measure The Acceptance Of This World’s Reality

Written by Ozodi Osuji Ph.D

Abstract: This paper points out that extant intelligence tests do in fact test people’s ability to understand science and technology; it says that those who tend to do well in science and technology are those who desire to adapt to the existences of this world. It says that there are those who are not interested in the things of this world; it says that extant intelligence tests do not test the brand of intelligence that finds this world not interesting. It concludes that we ought to find a way to make people loving rather than stop at merely talking about…

The End Of Western Cosmology And Return To Thinking

Written by Ozodi Osuji Ph.D

This paper looked at the standard theory on the origin of the universe and some alternative theories to the origin of the universe and concluded that all these are interesting speculations and that we still do not know how the universe came into being; it says that it is about time we stopped fooling ourselves into believing that only what Western cosmologists tell us is the origin of the universe is the actual origin of the universe, that we ought to examine what other cultures, such as Africans, have to say on the subject and, better still, what each individual…

Is Science and Technology the Savior of Mankind?

Written by Ozodi Osuji Ph.D

My natural inclination is philosophy, not the physical sciences. By philosophy, I do not mean academic philosophy. Academic philosophy has lost its way and is not philosophical at all. If you think of Wittgenstein and his preoccupation with language, you ask: what has that got to do with philosophy? Philosophy has to do with efforts to understand whether this life of ours has meaning or not. We are born, grow up and live in pain and must die. We are like other animals and trees, biological organisms; our bodies are made of matter (the various elements, atoms, particles and sub-particles)…

Western Science Is a View Of Reality, Not Reality Itself

Written by Ozodi Osuji Ph.D

This essay says that we do not know what reality is; that in the meantime folks posit their ideas of what reality is and behave accordingly and obtain attendant results. It sees Western science as the most successful construct of reality so far made by human beings but says that we still have to seek better views of reality, those that do better than Western science does.* Western Science Is a View Of Reality, Not Reality Itself Ozodi Thomas Osuji Western science is predicated on certain assumptions about the nature of reality; the assumptions are that separation of one thing…

Multiselves

Written by Ozodi Osuji Ph.D

Abstract: Extrapolating from Quantum mechanics, especially Hugh Everett’s many worlds interpretation of the double slit experiments, this paper says that there are many of each human being, each in a different universe. This idea is not exactly new for David Deutsch of Oxford University (Physics Department) in his book, The Fabric of Reality, writes that there are many of him, each in the possible infinite universes required by Quantum Mechanics. Multiselves By Ozodi Thomas Osuji I have come to the conclusion that we have four levels of selves: The God self (this is the one self all creation shares; I…

Science Is Telling Us That We Are Nothing

Written by Ozodi Osuji Ph.D

This paper points out that science carries an implicit philosophy, the philosophy that human beings came from nothing hence are nothing. On the other hand, human beings are those creatures that must see themselves as worthwhile for them to work to provide for their lives; if they are worthless, why should they work to support those worthless selves; therefore, teaching that they are lacking in value, as science does, is a disincentive to human productivity. Perhaps, there is another aspect of people that transcends their bodies hence has worth? Science Is Telling Us That We Are Nothing Ozodi Thomas Osuji…
