Ideas

Ideas are weird things. 
Ideas are sometimes collected in documents. Heck, this whole Site is a document. A doxa. Full of paradoxes.
E.g. "Critical Realism (aka Positivism): this stance outright rejects absolute truth, concerning itself only with the empirical; as noted above, this is a contradiction, since the rejection of absolute truth is an absolute statement in and of itself.  These tend to be the ardent mechanist – those who use scientific knowledge to achieve more scientific knowledge, without ever questioning whether they should be building an atomic bomb.  They’ll acknowledge the axiomatic basis of all truth, but remain utterly blind to the implications of this."
"Naïve Agnosticism (the Hippy): it claims that absolute truths are unknowable, and ergo not worth investigating.  They are making an absolute statement here, but largely ignores what any of this might imply. “You do you, man!”"
