Congrats! That's awesome to hear.

Because it was good enough for Moses and it was Good enough for Paw Paw so it's good enough for me. Moral codes aren't really agreed upon as much as e...

Revisited this section today after reading Adorno: A Very Short Introduction. Thanks @"Banno". I think the paragraph is speaking about Hegel in partic...

I figure thats the group of people who noticed how we're not worth paying attention to because we hate grifters and all the rest. Or the real deal phi...

Feliz navidad!

I've never had, but it looks good by the recipe I looked up.

Merry Christmas! We had our family Christmas last night, and the rest of the day is open for me. I plan on wasting all day doing as little as possible...

Basically yes. On this particular topic, no less. I don't really like it, but Bob kept skirting around the guidelines with respect to racist and homop...

I have a guess here. Liberalism took itself to be a universal political philosophy which ought to rule, and the managed state with markets has fulfill...

Yes, that's what I mean: i.e. our senses are different yet they are still thought of as "bound together" in what I'll call the subject such that our o...

I can try. There are managers of the world. They live within a liberal state with politicians that are the managers of those managers, or lackeys of t...

Were the english muffins part of the scramble, or did you put the scramble on the muffins with the jam? Good puns. I once had gumbo from someone in Lo...

:rofl:

OK, this morning I was up to the task and tried reading it your way and it read a lot easier. I think you're correct to say that it's Heidegger's cate...

I'm uncertain of it now, yes. I said I'd do it this morning, but I'm afraid I'm going to do it when I have the energy to revisit. I didn't want to lea...

M'kay. That makes me hopeful in that I'm at least not entirely off track. :D I'll have a reread tomorrow morning with your notes to see where I'm in e...

Is it cryptic? I reach for it because he referenced the amphiboly and the paralogisms earlier. It seems on-point to me because Kant and Heidegger both...

For sure. I think such mores are very silly, but how to get others' to see that is sometimes hard to think through. I have no problem sharing my feeli...

I meant Heidegger's philosophy isn't exactly pre-critical, according to Adorno, but mistaken in its response to the critical turn. Adorno seems to rec...

I think your comment here makes sense of Adorno's allusions to Heidegger's fascism. Adorno understands the ontological need, but if you supersede the ...

Yeah. Or -- Adorno says that Heidegger did not critique but attempted to rope in the critical turn by imputing being to the Kantian project, thereby r...

I found that sentence incredibly difficult to parse and what you say makes more sense -- I agree with you. The part that made me think this is where h...

In the spirit of quantification.... Would you say that you can pick out a tone from a timbre while listening? I would say so, but I would also say I c...

Me too :). Gracias amigo.

I gave this section a re-read today and I think I can summarize what's going on. Adorno is differentiating what he's doing from the new ontologists, l...

I agree it seems different. Maybe it best to say "Because synesthesia I can imagine the possibility, even though it may not actually be possible" The ...

It is, though I tend to think there are benefits to non-attachment. We can become overly attached to a point where we are no longer happy -- so here I...

Huh. I don't know how I feel about that. I've heard of the emdash thing, but not the rest. One, it's somewhat weird to change how one writes just beca...

Yes, you're right. "Synesthesia" is the example I thought of to make sense of the notion, but that's very much a conceptual thing rather than somethin...

Thank you, and I want to say the same for you: I'm doubtful of my own wisdom (as I'm sure you are of yours), but I'm asking after your thoughts in rep...

I do too, tho I've also been disappointed by face-to-face interactions in real time as well. To the point that I've come to think that the face-to-fac...

It does. Perhaps we here can attempt to create this "much better" conversation? Seems amongst us all, in our various experiences, we could find that g...

I don't like the romanticizing of mental illness. I understand people forming groups, like goths (from back in the day?), who want to defend their ide...

I don't know about comparisons, but I agree that psychiatrists are often bad guys in movies. There's a stigma against psychiatry. Good point. Yeah I a...

I've noticed an unwillingness. I've been exposed to some arguments of anti-psychiatry, but I'm not invested enough in the project of psychiatry to wan...

Yup. :cool: I've had both bad and good experiences with counselling. I also take medication. I also try and give comfort to people I see who have the ...
