IPSO

IPSO is an acronym for the underlying processes of Intelligent Inquiry (Individualism/Imagination, Philosophical Logic, Scientific Method, and Observation).

IPSO is central to Pulsoid Theory (www.PulsoidTheory.com).

Also, the acronym "II" ("aye!, aye!"): Intelligent Inquiry) has much the same meaning.

The acronym/abbreviation II is used more generally; and, IPSO is used when emphasis is intended to be put more upon the aspect of Individualism than the other underlying processes of Intelligent Inquiry.

Individualism/Imagination respects the filtering process of a persons mind regarding all the symbolic connotations and concepts that are received from an individual's senses.

An interpretive artist within the Performing or Creative Arts is an excellent example of illustrating a "truth" with an emphasis upon Individualism/Imagination.

Another example can be that of an individual respecting a personal god (possibly, an organizing principle, or creative force) without the intervention of another person or organization.

IPSO strongly supports open discussion regarding alternative rationalizations and theories; as opposed to secretive and contrived peer review. Of all the major academic disciplines that seek truth, the sciences can least justify anything less than striving for a maximum transparency of ideas.

An open marketplace of ideas, without argot and obfuscation, must blossom to replace the current closed cabal of Pomo elite theorists if a "new physics" is going to be found anytime soon that will, almost certainly, enervate many of the fundamental problems of humanity.

In theory, I'd be glad to see such a "market place of ideas". Today's society tends to think of intellectuals as elitists and snobs. What needs to happen is for the public to realize the place of intellectuals in society.

The means are right there.. Forums such as these exist for people to discuss special topics such as physics or math, but there are so many forums out there, but it becomes overwhelming to try and run a forum that makes a difference in the lives of everyday people. Then there's also the problem of flamers, trolls, and more.

So what is the best exisiting place to discuss ideas? My guess would probably be universities and colleges, but I can not state that categorically seeing as I'm not in one yet. I'm applying to university this year, and will hopefully experience the amalgamation of ideas and knowledge that university provides. The one disadvantage with universities is that they are not open to all; many are overpriced and looked upon as places where only "smart people" go. Back to the original problem, these stereotypes need to be lifted and put down for the sheer idiocy that they are. How, you ask? I haven't figured that part out yet.

What needs to happen is for the public to realize the place of intellectuals in society.I believe that wisdom should be easily accessible to all that seek it. There is much obfuscation of wisdom; largely because wisdom is so thinly distributed to so many that endlessly flaunt it.

The means are right there.. Forums such as these exist for people to discuss special topics such as physics or math, but there are so many forums out there, but it becomes overwhelming to try and run a forum that makes a difference in the lives of everyday people. Then there's also the problem of flamers, trolls, and more.There will be growing pains for some time; and certainly, there will be much information overload. Eventually, we will sort out this new information age; and, I suspect that most intellectual data will be self acquired; while the schools will mostly be limited to teaching the techniques of study and how to acquire wisdom; rather than, directly imparting it.

Today there would be great strides in acquiring knowledge, if all testing were eliminated. It is the true teachers' job to know what the student is learning; it is not the students' job to waste the majority of their schooling time, while damaging their brain processes with "cramming" and tension to prove what they know to the teacher. The Waldorf schools (http://www.awsna.org/) are a fine example as to how education should be processed.

So what is the best exisiting place to discuss ideas? My guess would probably be universities and colleges, but I can not state that categorically seeing as I'm not in one yet.I've been in and out of several dozen universities over the past 55 years. I can "categorically" state that the university environment is hazardous to alternative concepts. The expression "intellectual inquiry" rings hollow throughout academia. There is a premium on maintaining the status quo that is overtly and covertly enforced.

There are exceptions . . . few and far between . . . which only proves the "rule."

Einstein was considered an outside maverick; and, was never able to obtain a position on the faculty of an American university. Which is why the Institute of Advanced Studies was built . . . to house one person . . . Einstein.

I'm applying to university this year, and will hopefully experience the amalgamation of ideas and knowledge that university provides.True. Universities are brimming with ideas; though, if you spend too much time embracing the really vibrant, individualism that is possible, you'll probably have a very difficult time climbing the academic status ladder.

How, you ask? I haven't figured that part out yet.I concur with your assessment. I'm betting that the internet will eventually solve what you "haven't figured...out yet."
