Teleos
The universe is made of heavy dense matter. Some of it is so dense and being so cognitively active that it is difficult to separate, come together.. interact. And the vast passive remainder interacts all too readily. The matter I occupy tends to be dense, and like anyone else with such compression, only in the midst of ambient warmth can it posture itself for change.
Autonomy, sameness, exclusiveness, unto itself..as is, as it is born so it is, good or bad, healthy or sick..to the far reaches of space does my matter exist divided, does apriori compete with aposteriori..does ontology dream teleology, do passive cogents rely on creative blythe spirit, having been preserved and cultivated and nurtured by all for all.
All that is physical and self aware is metaphysical, or psychophysical. The physical is the stage upon which metaphysical, I, lives the nature of reality, R, as it is empirically sensed or theoretically perceived, since R is ultimately defined as much by how it is perceived as by what is perceived, of which, sincere examinations may lead to a'priori speculations upon questions of R that science cannot answer by itself..in as much as R beyond science can be deduced..which precludes taking very seriously any a'posterori empirical chrysanthemums or a'priori deductive roses. This we know, leads to one form or another of esoteric oblivion.
Therefore, I have unwittingly evolved into a teleologist with a penchant for aposteriori ontological argument with regard to natural phenomena..for happily it seems, the more valid the aposteriori philosophy is, the more powerful will be, its apriori implications.
