A logical fallacy. I know that Stephen Hawkings has a better grasp of physics than I do, and I don't have to have a superior grasp of physics to realise it.
Alisima beatifully solves the paradox and the logical fallacy by going on with the following:
Alisima wrote:Shortly said, the whole process of truly determining your inferiorness to anything destoy's your inferiorness to that particular thing. In other words, if you truly understand why you are inferior, or better yet, why you believe yourself to be inferior, you are no longer inferior.
In the above he points out that understanding therefore the level of development of the intellect ultimately determines who is to advance on a more superior level, regardless of all of our assumptions and imaginations, he then perfectly goes on to explain what I just said by further saying:
Alisima wrote:The paradox is ofcourse that you cannot claim yourself to be inferior, since that claim, at least temporarly, requires you to step out of your inferiority, make that claim and then be inferior. The whole process of determining your inferiorness requires you to understand why you are inferior. And that understanding no longer belongs to inferiority but to superiority. So you can never claim your inferiority since that claim requires you to be at least equal to that which claim to be inferior to.
so any attempt toward understanding is a step toward superiority, even if you are to discover and understand why you consider yourself inferior to something that you (also)consider superior.
When Alisima points out the dilemmas of the mind he fairly frequently touches the truth, regardless of the mistakes he may make as a result of his own deductions, which are to be completely ignored if and only if there is that innocent scent of truth in what he says.
Alisima wrote:If one can accept the feelings of inferiority one is indeed superior. That is the paradox of inferiority/superiority: by not accepting parts of yourself, since you believe them to be inferior, you actually become inferior since you no longer have access to those parts (they are now in the unconsiousness.) By accepting all that you have formely denied you start a path towards unity. Unity of yourself. Once you accomplished that unity, you are superior to all who haven't.
Isn't he right?
