I remember too growing up in Florida and just feeling like my soul was being cramped. Extinguished. And then when I discovered philosophy and really b...

I definitely agree Heidegger was saying something fresh. And your comparison with Hegel is a good one too. Right- I've benefited a lot from reading th...

A precise present is a way I wouldn't describe the only everything "present" of the flux. There's a difficulty in having to use the very words you're ...

Terrapin- What you are replying to is different than what I am writing. Disagreeing is one thing but a disagreement only means something when one firs...

When you talk about how the the living past is how we do the now- are you saying for example- like the way foucault reinterprets the past how that cha...

Lets try the pheonomenal approach. Look around you right now. Nothings going anywhere. Its just our mind struggling to preserve impressions for compar...

Lets not talk about the present or the flux because this is too hard I think. Let's talk about the past and futre. Don't we always experience the past...

And here we go again trying to think the impossible lol The eye tries to turn in and see itself seeing! I want to take up this question because I'm cu...

What you're describing here- isn't the feeling of it a kind of lessening of seriousness? A kind of- Shit since we're all gonna die anyway- I'm not as ...

Of course when I say that everything exists in the present- my word "present" cant be the same as common sense present- because there's no past or fut...

My short answer is... I don't know. lol I don't have this experience. I've been talking a lot about how different ways of seeing the world create ours...

My sense of time is a flux without remainder. Julius Caesar never stepped out of time. He died. His bones transformed. They remained in the flux of th...

This reminds me of Sartre's take on love- the impossibility of trying to dominate the subject, etc etc. Its not that relevant to what we're talking ab...

I'm not sure that I understand this importance of time as you and Heidegger are using it. IN my own reasoning when I speak of time- its always a sort ...
November 14, 2018 at 07:00
I'm hearing Sartre's decision here in a way. Maybe Sartre presented his decision more as a radical break than this- there seemed to be a kind of unnat...
November 14, 2018 at 06:53
These heidegger ideas- as well as the one you mention with how our time is lived historically- I just can't get inside these ideas to feel them. So I ...

They're horrible writers like Bob Dylan is a horrible singer. He doesn't do many of the things we enjoy and maybe wish he could. But what he does do- ...

Hello Terrapin- We're probably using different definitions of being and becoming. To me becoming is referencing a constant change- while being is refe...

After Studying philosophy I decided to go try and live it and basically- start revolution lol These days I'm primarily a musician and community organi...

Ah I was trying to place where the talk of time but not the time of the clock and "care" came from... Heidegger! Heidegger's interesting for me becaus...

Ok Macrosoft- I just read your other comments. "Aren't you yourself trying to see things as they really are by calling other attempts to satisfy that ...
