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 ...
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...
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...
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...
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 ...
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?...
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...
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...
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 ...
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 ...
Exactly. Ontological holism emphasizes the systematicity or radical interdependence of concepts (hence 'the Concept' singular in Kojeve's Lectures on ...
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...
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 ...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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 ...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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....
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...
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...
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...
