insight on deconstructing rationality

[moonawakening444]

the insight i had after watching this last episode is basically this: 

fundamentally we know very little about reality. 

collectively we have reached a point where we are starting to become aware of the limits of not science necessarily, but the way we´ve been doing science. 

so the point would be to realize that there is a more expansive and wholesome way of doing science? 

and that this wholesome way could be by firstly, recognizing how our assumptions are limiting the way through which we understand the world and ourselves? 

what are the thoughts?

ps: i remember this one time in high school during biology class, my teacher said that science was able study all this aspects of life but it was never able to give a definition of what IS life itself, i asked her what it was and she also couldn´t give an answer, i never forgot that... now i know why lol

Meta cognition. Uncovering our hidden core assumptions about self and reality. Rationality is a tool but there are many levels of rationality, pre rational, rational and transrational stages of development. Most of science is in the rational stage of development that is heavily influenced on the culture that you live in, conditioning from academia and if one has any experiences with awakening. We don't know how we come to know what anything is, and we don't even know what understanding is, which is something Leo points out towards the end of the episode.

yes, i´ve been thinking a lot about this idea of understanding and how in our experience we are only able to grasp concepts when there is an "opposing" concept, and also the whole notion of differentiation...
