7. I believe in Universals.
8. I believe there is no actual infinite.
9. I am not a dogmatist, but am an adventurer.
10. An Idea on Schrodinger's Cat.
11. I believe the Double Slit Experiment Shows My Idea on Shrodinger's Cat must be wrong. So Quantum Mechanics (as others have claimed seems incompatible with Realism - as I understand it.
12. Dark Matter is evidence that our laws of Physics may in some way be incomplete.
13. More evidence.
14. I think all knowledge we have (and if we don't have it, then its not knowledge) is limited to a domain in which we have experience. I think even logic originates in experience.
