Go up one level in this thread
You go deeper and deeper in this quest. Well, that reality that seems to be another kind of paradigm is, it seems to me, kind of a cake with very different layers. Some of them are the result of our own behaviour and so are capable of being what we decide they must be. Human-produced reality. But in the bottom -I will jump over the intermediate cases- we find the "thing in itself" that has its own being that sooner or later comes out and make his demands. This kind of layer I would call the final arbiter. We can go this or that technological path to produce this or that cultural world, but gravity laws are untamable. You are going to fall anyway. You must take into acccount the fall of bodies. No way. No cheating with that. Respect chess, we are here in some intermediate layer where reality is or will be what we decide it will be. At least to a point. If nobody never think in doing things differently, chess in itself will not push with crisis. Chess is an artifact so is a kind of dead thing. We decide how it lives. Fernando
