Compromise is one of the hardest things this world will come across, especially in regards to the Nature of Human Nature. However, when we are faced with conflict in important institutions, such as the government, society must make some sort of compromise. Can language be the answer for some disputes?
In class, we came across the idea of thinking of the universe equal to the way some religions think of "God" or "Self." Some religions, such as Hinduism and Buddhism, believe that the "universe" is, essentially, "God" and that everything works not because God rules but because all of the laws of physics are God. With naturalists, the universe controls all, the laws of physics, logic, reason. However, scientists have limited knowledge of the universe, just like religious individuals have about their "God." I believe in order to take a step in the direction of "pragmatic empiricism," society must take these types of connections into consideration and try to reach a compromise when both parties could have the same main idea but have different branches off of the idea.
