Why I do not consider the metaphysical immaterial

[zenmaster]

I learned new words though. Especially coherentist. Have not seen that one since Philosophy 101, though I am not sure if I can pronounce it correctly.

It merely means that consistency is the measure of "truth", which is really only applicable to philosophical considerations and *not* scientific theories. Discerning scientists do not actually identify with the theory as an actual basis for reality (as "truth") *because* it is coherent, it's just that it *must* be in order to be practical. Scientists are ever trying to find better models (knowledge systems) which serve to explain observation and experience and so the investment is their time, not their belief as identification (as a child would tend to do before understanding models).

Typically science follows philosophical insight contemporary with theorectical development. Ra's "transformation of mind" where experience is refined is at work in the collective mind, just as it is in the individual. So knowledge systems, such as those developed by scientific inquiry, become less and less distorted. But as Ra says of our particular society, also "overly complex" (which I take as a hint).
