Some unpublished thoughts

Truth – (mixture of terms) it is not a single character, but actually combines absolute completeness, absolute universality, and absolute preciseness, which do not exist.

Objective of Science – Logical, internally flawless models that describe reality as universally and precisely as possible.

The measure of the quality of scientific theories is not truth but precision and universality.

Intelligence – a system capable of formulating original questions and finding answers to them.

Intelligent—complex thinking with minor flaws; fool- simple thinking with major flaws.

A good motivation for doing research: Practicing science is the most intelligent way of existence in the universe that we know so far.

Biological life – The only feasible way to define life is the anthropocentric way, as systems with any number and combination of qualities may exist. Biological life is not a single quality but a list of qualities centered on us (humans). Complex physical-chemical systems sharing a larger number of qualities with humans are more “alive” than systems sharing a smaller number of qualities with humans, which are more “dead”.
