If you think this is the first time in history in which the future of man has been at risk, you are mistaken. And yes, hair trigger. The autocorrect o...

It is absolutely not a half triggered gun pointed at my head. I have other more pressing matters in my life.

I think it is actually very true that we have no idea what other people actually mean. I think faith is a huge component of most linguistic exchanges....

I take back one thing I said. In terms of thinking about something 'greater' than the mundane philosophical... Which is great at times and extremely f...

Psychedelic experiences... It all depends on so many factors. The rule of thumb is to be in a healthy state of mind before going into one. This is a g...

some would say disidentification or ego dissociation or ego disillusionment even... Is a necessary experience for understanding oneself and ones stran...

Yes, there are colors and sounds and all sorts of sensations in this dream; however, the dream also has aspects that I cannot put into words. Such a c...

I would love to be able to read ancient and medieval Latin alchemical works. I only know very little Latin.

"In the beginning was the deed."

There are many threats other than nuclear war. Nuclear war is a threat, but it is really is not the duty of the philosopher to base his philosophy on ...

@"Janus" or perhaps you have heard of DMT or dimethyltriptamine. It is an endogenous chemical in the human body that functions as a pseudoneurotransmi...

hmmmh. Idk about that. That reminds me of Freud's censor, which I don't know that I agree with. I have had a dream since before I can remember that ab...

Yes absolutely. I have had a recurring dream since childhood that is absolutely incapable of description or concept.

What a woman is, is a matter of opinion. What a female is, biologically, is not. What a girl, woman, or whatever word a person wants to use to describ...

Well, I have experienced a resurgence in my interest in Jung and I thought I would share his thoughts on the subject, because I find them very reveali...

I don't know what is so complicated. Experience, experiencing, the flux of events that is one's life, THE CONTINUUM, not the illusion of causality or ...

For the 5th time, I am not talking about a specific experience... That is where you yourself are bringing in irrelevant variables to my ideas. Experie...

Do you not know that an idea presents itself often not in one sentence within a paragraph but in the paragraph... Or, in some cases, in dozens or hund...

And you divorce a sentence from its context time after time...

I think there are many experiences that do not have concepts attached to them. If you only have experience of already understood, demarcated and disti...

Jung thought extensively on nuclear war. Perhaps you are not looking deep enough into philosophers. He said psyche is the great danger.

Perhaps some religions are commanding, tyrannical, etc. But many religious conceptions are not. I do not think religion is based on an appeal to autho...

Jung is the best 'modern' fusion of belief and skepticism, in my opinion.

Can you read Latin fluently?

However, there are symbolic ideas which lack explanation or knowledge, and for this precise reason they are symbolic. There are too 'collective repres...

Just look at Jung with regard to Freud. So so so different, but so so so similar.

Interesting... Nietzsche states that a philosopher must be radically himself, and in this there is a sort of tyranny. But what would be the opposite? ...

From a Jungian approach, I say it is absolutely correct that all people withold the same psychical capacities and constitutions. We receieve our genet...

Time is the moving image of eternity

I like Jung's thoughts on this subject. from man and his symbols by CG Jung

Here is an interesting one. My sexuality exists prior to the object of my sexuality (for it is indeed MINE) which determines it yet is existentially d...

But maybe our dialectical problem consists in a difference of epistemology. What would characterize your epistemology here?

I think you need a further specification of "Nothing can be existentially dependent on that which it is prior to." Namely, the temporal domain (a post...

Maybe I can use other examples. Life (its subsistence) is existentially dependent on life that is not yet and is prior to this not-yet life, for life ...

No... You have for the fourth time misinterpreted me... And this time I think it was deliberate. 1. There was no discovery of Carbon. There was a disc...

So you are indeed operating within your own closed system.

Again, for the third time, I am not speaking of a specific experience, defined to be such and such in contrast to and incommensurate with another spec...

Ridiculous. All experience is existentially dependent on further experience, for if there were no more experience, then experience would no longer exi...

Poorly written? How is "Experience exists prior to subsequent experiences, and is existentially dependent on subsequent experience, namely existientiE...

What about experience ? Experience exists prior to subsequent experience but is existentially dependent on subsequent experience .

I disagree. There is no criterion of belief. A belief is a belief regardless of if why or how. A belief is never justified as a belief. It is a belief...

This is not proven, so it is ignorant to speak as if it is... "Belief and thought about existence is dependent on language." You cannot say you know e...

the sculpture would be dependent on the metal box.

it is interesting that you say it is a metaphor, yet you are interested in 'how' this metaphor comes about, as if the metaphor itself is something det...

I guess you are considering my questions to be baseless?
