Talk:Comparisons to other theories

bRA1N-b0X MISSION STATEMENT AND UPDATES

The Terence McKenna portion of this page will be fleshed out over time, adding proper references and formatting. I am putting out the raw stuff with which to sculpt into coherent and meaningful content. There will likely be a lot of data to track down and sift through.

I am also going to add (over time) what I can to the "Urantia Book", "My Big TOE" and "Bernardo Kastrup" sections. There will likely be even more stuff to sift through. Interestingly, Tom Campbell -- author of the "My Big TOE" -- was very involved with the Monroe Institute, of which I believe Langan has mentioned in some of his "psi" material.

Great! Yes, I have listened to some of Tom Campbell's lectures on YouTube, and I also have his (huge) book, but haven't had time to study it carefully. There do seem to be some striking parallels to the CTMU, as well as some differences. Tim Smith (talk) 16:35, 3 October 2016 (UTC)

Broad Comparisons & Notes

(These will be expanded upon.)
1. My Big TOE -- a consciousness-as-virtual-reality model
2. Bernardo Kastrup -- a reality-as-psychology model
3. The Urantia Book -- a celestial-as-government model
4. Terence McKenna -- psychedelia for consciousness exploration

Suggested Comparisons

Hi.

Here are a few people I suggest we make comparisons to:

- Nassim Nicholas Taleb (His work is extremely broad. I argue that risk analysis touches upon deep nature of reality.)

- Kant (He seems to refer to comprehensiveness with the term completeness while not using completeness in the sense that Godel did.)

- Nicholas Rescher (lots of references to comprehensiveness )

- Mandelbrot

- Douglas Hofstadter

- Wittgenstein

I would add Spinoza to your list: http://www.iep.utm.edu/spinoz-m/

Hi. Spinoza has already been mentioned on the main page. --Tristin (talk) 18:32, 31 December 2016 (UTC)

- Giordano_Bruno (There are references to a "universal hermetic religion" in his writings. He claims that religion eventually unite all the faiths. He is a cosmologist as well.) --Tristin (talk) 18:16, 31 December 2016 (UTC)

Certainly keep me in the loop for these comparisons. I think it's important to have them and make sure we keep up to date in order to render the CTMU relevant over time (or at least as a proper effort to pursue). I'll be trying to keep up to date on my own amid these earthly vicissitudes we undergo. :) BRA1N-b0X (talk) 13:49, 3 January 2017 (UTC)

Okay, I've added Kant. Everyone feel free to do others! Tim Smith (talk) 09:54, 15 January 2017 (UTC)

- Neale Donald Walsch (recommended by Langan here: http://www.megafoundation.org/MegaPress/OneBook/indexA.htm) --Tristin (talk) 19:31, 25 January 2017 (UTC)

- Quine Tristin (talk) 03:28, 29 January 2017 (UTC)

- Viktor Frankl (meaning driven psychotherapy)

- Betrand Russell

- Bryan Magee (epistemology, metaphysics, history of philosophy)

- Aquinas

- Anselm

- Greg Boyd

- William Lane Craig

- Aristotle

- Plato

- Socrates

- Moore (moral epistemology)

- Carl Jung

--Tristin (talk) 01:54, 31 January 2017 (UTC)

- Olof Palme (father of social-democracy, you can compare and contrast the CTMU's implications of social-democracy with him. He is a traditional social-democrat more like Gorbachev and Bernie Sanders, less like the so called "soft left" [á la Clintons, Obama, UK Labor, etc.] of today.)
