User:TheLastWordSword/Black Box Metaphysics

This is the way we push the buttons to get the black box to produce the results we want from it; that's all we know, all we want to know, and all that we can know.

We ourselves are composed of some of the same stuff as the black box, and this is a very important point of human nature.
A second is that human beings as a species may be a black box of a type different from the one within which we find ourselves.
A third is that individuals may similarly differ from the species.
