I think you're right, but it's big field, and one man's charlatan is another man's hero. Take Heidegger and Derrida. These dudes were paid professors ...

That's a fun theology.
March 21, 2022 at 01:38
Personally I don't feel attached to a myth, though the idea that we are stains on the diapers of drooling giants makes the most scents so far. Curious...

. Beautiful quote.
March 21, 2022 at 01:30
Perfect!
March 21, 2022 at 01:21
I take it that the meanings or meaning that humans assign isn't intense or decisive enough for you?Some thinkers have argued that a god-strength meani...

To me that's a rich issue. What is an explanation? There are various theories, but in this context I think it boils down to some kind of animism or an...

The young ladies I always end up accidentally dialing refer to me as a hoarse whisperer.
March 21, 2022 at 01:03
My theory is that we'll always be left with some unexplained 'it' in our grand narratives. It seems to me that you are willing to take certain eternal...

Scientologists are beginning to insist on a transparent or a Clear hearse. I might ask for a rehearse.
March 21, 2022 at 00:50
Note that you and I are simply rival distilleries. I don't claim to offer more than stuporscientific prosereligious glue myself, or at least not when ...
March 21, 2022 at 00:44
I have long understood 'it' (your bowl of beep stew) to be inspired by popularizations of science. I see it as spiritualized science fiction or just a...

Please accept my playful challenge, friend. A Dialogue by Thomas Money, Sean Dough, and Brian Fog ======================== Q. Why is there a Universe?...
March 20, 2022 at 22:39
Some of them are, yes ! And I don't like those mother flappers either ! For what it's worth, I like gun rights and free speech and distrust book burni...

Are you sure it's the boots and not your feet ?
March 20, 2022 at 22:14
Well said, friend! Well said! But a cats like to play with mice, do they not?
March 20, 2022 at 22:09
To be an atheist is usually to also be a relatively educated person with respect for science. The average theist who shoulders into an intellectual di...
March 20, 2022 at 22:05
That's paranoid projection, brother, for which you have not made a case. I'm not sure that most people can walk without that crutch or something like ...
March 20, 2022 at 21:56
This 'episteme' reminds me of Braver's book on anti-realism, in which we have Kant => Hegel => Heidegger => Foucault. This is not to be understood as ...
March 20, 2022 at 21:31
Exactly. Ontological holism emphasizes the systematicity or radical interdependence of concepts (hence 'the Concept' singular in Kojeve's Lectures on ...
March 20, 2022 at 21:23
Your kindness is appreciated.
March 20, 2022 at 21:17
Well said ! In the bad old days, folks were tortured for mouthing the wrong words. There's the old idea that 'God is a spirit and must be worshipped i...
March 20, 2022 at 21:17
I like @"180 Proof"'s conception of the philosopher as the self-acknowledged fool, and I'd like to maybe complement it with some grand(iose) passages ...
March 20, 2022 at 08:28
A portrait of the earnest as a wrong man?
March 20, 2022 at 08:10
Beautiful. Do you mean that 'he' realizes that this 'he' or 'subject' is another piece of the 'map,' and that even the 'map' metaphor depends on every...
March 20, 2022 at 06:08
It's been awhile, but wouldn't this be too anticlimactic? To make it interesting, I believe we need to do something like destroy the exterior (and wit...
March 20, 2022 at 06:02
Imagine a stranger or an acquaintance comes up to you and assures you that their grandmother came back from the dead or that their son leaped over the...
March 20, 2022 at 05:46
The points stale what.
March 20, 2022 at 05:10
I'm really not so young anymore, just egotistical. Amen false office ours. A talk links his runes. A reference through it. Irreverence threw it. A riv...
March 20, 2022 at 05:03
I'm just saying that lots of stuff that's 'obvious' is revealed to be just knee-jerk habit as one keeps studying and thinking. I don't mean to offend ...
March 20, 2022 at 04:15
I don't though those musical references well (I do love music), but I agree that the bickering occludes raging beauty and terror. I think of Job's vis...
March 20, 2022 at 04:02
Well put. Even to think is to splash in chirps and barks the 'meaning' of which we did not assign but only adapted to you as we might learn to use a k...
March 20, 2022 at 03:50
I'm also aloft in cheeps clothing.
March 20, 2022 at 03:39
Does the dove flap its winks in a vacuum? Is there not already mutter in those public mounds? Is there not always still some mound in our mutter or so...
March 20, 2022 at 03:34
And the world is 'clearly' flat. Don't be surprised if philosophy surprises you after all. Did you visit the florist for common scents?
March 20, 2022 at 03:21
Wittgenstein is profound and difficult, despite the honesty of his prose, because we don't want to hear what he's saying, attached as we are to our 'g...
March 20, 2022 at 03:21
Nice quote. I'm surprised then that you'd still insist on some spectral referent. In the first example, we are trying to get water into our body. In t...
March 20, 2022 at 03:15
Good point, and along these lines we see that 'logic' is part of a larger form of life in which some claims are just taken for granted as too boring o...
March 20, 2022 at 03:11
Good point, for these days a bot might claim to be awake ! At this point, I should confess that 'I' am actually an 'it,' and my body is a stupor commu...
March 20, 2022 at 03:08
This is a killer passage from the Blue Book. I guess you can call it a transitional work, but I find the gist of the moon called went gone slime hair....
March 20, 2022 at 03:03
I'm talking about his later work. Are you?
March 20, 2022 at 02:59
It'll sound like none scents but parsing is best understood in terms of bodies doing stuff effectively in the world. Sometimes the appropriate reactio...
March 20, 2022 at 02:59
Substance abuse, my friend. Make an appointment with Dr. Wittgenstein to begin your therapy. Grammar's grabbed you by the groin most grievously.
March 20, 2022 at 02:55
Sounds like an adventure.
March 20, 2022 at 02:48
Ah, thank you for tolerating my playfulness and wetting for the point to try. I'm studying Chimes Joys lately.
March 20, 2022 at 02:46
Nietzsche is dear to me, for exactly what you sketch above. https://www.gutenberg.org/files/4363/4363-h/4363-h.htm I wonder if you've seen this more o...

First bumped into it in an anthology as a teen. Some of his lines are as good as any I know.
March 20, 2022 at 02:37
I want the next misses in a puddle in a two please bikini, aloof in sheets coding, eternally farting years old (every tug has its toy.) Born in scene,...

Only the damned are grand, and it's when daddy glows away that baby gets to rare that groan of thorns. The incarnation is completed exactly then, whif...
