AgeOfReason - A DefinitiveLittany
(Alldefinitions fromthe OED [hardcopy].)
Reason - 1) motiveforaction; decision; conviction.
Decision - passingjudgment.
Conviction - a fixedorstrong belief.
Belief - trust; confidence.
Trust - firmreliance; confidentbelief; faith.
Therefore
Reason - passingjudgment basedonfaith.
(Thiscan'tberight. Canlogic extricateus fromthisabsurdity?)
Reason - 2) underlying factorcause providing logicalsense
for promiseofoccurrence.
Logic - principlesofreason.
(Apparently logic isn'theanswer. Perhaps ration cansavetheday?)
Reason - 3) capacityfor rationalthought.
Rational - abilitytoreason.
(Whoops. Maybe thought isthekey to definitivesanity?)
Thought - art or processofthinking; idea;
powertoreason or imagine.
(Foiledagain with thoughtbeingreasonbeingfaith.
Absurdity seemingtoreign inthis kingdomofwords.)
Therefore
REASON - capacityorability toreason; thepower toreason.
(Tautological? Soitgoes.)
AgeOfIntellect (pehapsbetter?)
Intellect - 1) abilitytoreason
(Sofar nogood.)
Intellect - 2) abilityto thinkabstractly.
Think - tohave an idea; powertoreason or imagine.
Imagine - form mentalpicture.
Idea - mentalrepresentation forming
an objectofthought.
Abstractly - thoughtof apartfrom concreterealities.
Therefore
Intellect - abilitytohave a mentalrepresentation
apartfrom concreterealities.
(Isthat faith? subjectivity? insanity?
Havewegained noclarity?)
Intellect - 3) abilitytolearn.
Learn - understand via experienceorstudy.
Experience - understand via mind senses emotions.
(I'm notgoing totouch sensing&emotions.)
Mind 1) consciousness.
Consciousness - awareness of self.
Self - (notinOED) autobiographicmemories
ofbehaviors within sapienenvironment
causing noteworthyfeedback
resulting in a senseof permanentidentity
which is fedwithdesire &defended unreasonably
sacrificingeven corporealsurvival.
Thus needingtoestablish beliefaithope in eternalife.
Mind - 2) a persistentillusion causedbyself; a linguistic fauxpas.
Therefore
INTELLECT - understanding via awareness of theillusion labeled self.
.............................................................................
