I started working on my animated series again tonight lol. Trying to put my philosophy into an entertaining format. I think you're right. And personal...
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...

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...
