Thinking about things lif finity and infinity really damage the idea of meaning in general.

 

Also interesting: Can you imagine the finity of life (death)? Of course not, not thinking cant be thought, not even the buddhist were able to do so ;-)

And Infinity? Sound equally impossible to imagine.

 

Maybe one day we will be able to upgrade our brains to understand certain things, to be able to imagine things beyond our limited horizont.

 

 

Do you think a far more advanced mind would be able to slove age old philosophical problems which we cant solve because of our biological limitations?

No I think your question shows that the diet you have been given has left you susceptible to the right sided brain loves who don't realise its an organ of organic communication through life as an aerial of sorts. We as a race have little biological limits we need to impove. Some of us just need to nuture each other better, better food, education, direction, sharing, etc.
I'm happy, but what is happiness, how do you really get it without taking it from someone else?

I've thought about this while doped up on Adderall (I do not recommend), plus more.

I've thought about what other sort of extraterrestrials there may be out there and how complicated their language and concepts, etc. may be compared to our own. Really, humans are such simple, delicate creatures. I feel that we're quite behind on having knowledge of how humans work as well as our own planet, too.

As our bodies and minds continue to evolve in coming years, eventually we will get to the point of understanding more complicated things about life and the universe.

So, yes, I do believe we'll eventually be able to answer questions we can not answer now, but it may take many, many years before that will even happen.

It's quite an interesting thought though.

Common language evolves. Whether it gets simplified for efficiency, or dumbed down on purpose, the experiences of the higher mind can leave someone lost for words. I'm in the 'everything has been known before' camp, so for us to find new abilities/knowledge is irrelevant as a species. The only relevent thing I see is common knowledge, and us a civilisation working together to share and accept knowledge that has observable proof. We saw the twin towers disappear, and were told the official story couldn't account for the melted engine blocks, melted die cast door handles, lack of seismic data, dustification of massive steel girders, etc. A group of people aren't sharing, what philosophical view could a scholar find in the events of 11/9/2001?
Philosophy is used as a stepping stone for obtaining a more thorough view of a subject. It works by allowing an intuitive abstractive view to be questioned against known knowledge of beliefs.
If speeding through space accumulates nutrinos and enhances our mind, will the mindset evolve, or has it been there already? Personal experience can be better that a guide, but I encourage everyone to talk to others and make up their own minds.
