8.0.2.4.1 Unresolvable Dilemmas

Version 1.2 December 2016Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â (Previous Version)

Many people are unable to understand or accept the dilemma inherent in the meaning of truth and the similar dilemma of free will and responsibility.Â They will demand certainty, or in their ignorance, find some rationalisation for feeling certain, or, being thoughtless, just feel certain anyway, for no good reason.

We need to explain:

a. Our beliefs are caused or they are random; we still must make decisions for daily living!

b. Peopleâ€™s actions are caused or they are random; we still assign responsibility to people!

c. We cannot resolve everything.Â it's not just that we currently don't know all the answers, some answers we expect to never know!Â At the most basic level, we all live with such inconsistencies.

It is a revelation to many people that we must live with some fundamental dilemmas.

Do you know of any great music that would go well with this page?

Or any of the other pages?

IF YOU DO, CLICK FEEDBACK.

It could be in any language, or have no words, or just be instrumental. From pop, to classical, a cappella to orchestral!

Examples of the music we seek:

● On the Tenets page, accessed from the main menu, our current choice is a Song Without Words from Mendelssohn (who died in 1847), Opus 14 Nbr 4, called Contentment. Check it out: the Tenets conclude most times, I have a measure of content.

● Chapter 2.3 covers the solar system and Earth’s development. In there somewhere, surely we should be hearing Gustav Holst's The Planets, which premiered 100 years ago. There is a movement for each of the planets.

Please tell as much identifying information as you can: a link, and/or the name of the piece and a person’s name may be enough, but if you know it please also send the artist/performer, composer/lyricist, year written, year recorded, record label, copyright owner, or similar details.

We have to worry about copyright: acknowledge it, and not infringe on it. Music that is out of copyright, or was never copyrighted (eg like real, ie very old, folk music) is good. Some material is ‘open source’ allowing others to use it for free. For newer restricted copyright music we may have to seek permission to play it, but we can’t afford to pay for it. It depends on the circumstances. In general, copyright in text, images and music lasts for 70 years after the year of the creator's death, even if the creator does not own copyright.

We acknowledge the traditional owners and custodians of Country, throughout all colonised lands, and their connections to land, waters and community. We pay respect by giving voice to truth, values and social justice, acknowledging our shared history, and valuing the cultures of first nations peoples.
