Indeed, and here you are repeating it. And again you have no justification whatsoever, because there is no Viking argument, and there is no mention of...
In a monochrome world, colour words would have no application. In particular, the term 'monochrome' would have no application. But we have gone from o...
No, trolling the thread = calling me silly and hysterical and presenting absolutely no argument or insight but rather attempting to shut down the disc...
Really? I mean REALLY? You think my discussion of international news from the other side of the ocean is a hysterical reaction that hurts the country?...
Sure. It's a matter of social relations. The numbers have no importance here; the importance it has is the importance it is given, just as the value o...
You have absolutely no idea how many lives my posts might save or cost. Perhaps a potential shooter will be transformed, or possibly pushed over the e...
The County of Sutherland in Scotland got its name from its position in the Viking territory. The word 'thing' is derived from the Viking word for thei...
Builders also have a disdain for Architects, with their airy-fairy notions of form and function and beauty, and no proper understanding of brickwork. ...
Hmm. Perhaps I have a different idea of what reason is. The thrust of the op is is that 'I don't like Mondays' does not count as a reason, even if it ...
This is not an invitation to the most wonderful life, but to the most wonderful dream. There is no contest between them, and I do not endorse and nor ...
I'm so glad you're seeing somewhat what I'm trying to get at. Yes 'I' can't change/stop 'the cycle', because whenever 'I' act on 'the cycle' I'm just ...
It really doesn't matter what comes after this, does it? and even if it does, why should it? Sometimes the right answer is " Hush! Go and clean your t...
I might say that personhood is a legal status granted to certain 'companies' (bunches of people with property?) when they have ritually drawn up and s...
The sort of thing Jung wants to get a handle on with the notion of the collective unconscious is - well, something like 'zeitgeist'. So he might talk ...
Just to be absolutely clear, I am saying that since it is false that "No people are not dinosaurs." it must necessarily be true that at least one pers...
You think wrong, regions are not 'excluded' but declared empty or declared populated, the one being the negation of the other. So the negation of 'All...
Under normal circumstances you are right, but the puzzle indulges in multiple negatives. So though the truth of 'All unicorns are horned' has no exist...
The hunger of the lion becomes the stampede of the buffalo. Don't equate psyche's energy to physical energy; a powerful idea does not have a big engin...
Well you have said a lot, but I will not answer just this... Let's just say that there is that possibility, and that it is not something willed or per...
Well it is rather like being left by one's lover, one can be liberated one can be imprisoned, one can be sad or glad, enraged, one can feel murderous ...
Yes, the source, in general is trauma, and the shut down person is shut into the trauma and forever reliving it as flashback and recreating it out of ...
Probably. Except... When does anyone ignore the messenger of pain? I think only when something really important is going on, like a football match, or...
I wonder if I can persuade you to un-ask these questions with a joke. Q. What's the difference between a thermostat and a living being? A. They both r...
I wouldn't dare to speak for the trees, unless I was a poet. But I think they do care, as it goes. But I was pointing to something more straightforwar...
I'd like to talk about control with you another time, but it seems bit out of place here. But in the meantime, consider the views of this fellow: "Loo...
Even more so in this thread, I need to speak for myself... I recall the unenlightened of yore, a youngish single heterosexual male with __ a strong se...
It's a great temptation to answer the question, but if you consider ... you will see it is impossible. There are beautiful and ugly feelings perhaps, ...
You completely ignored the gracious silence, so... What great pity it is that everyone is not so unfailingly cheerful, respectful, polite, sane and in...
Well I'm not that great an economist, but if one shop always has an advantage because *whatever*, the other shop will always go bankrupt. Perhaps that...
I'm not sure I can, very much. But let's say that at the extremes of left and right there are views that cannot be espoused without penalty. So on one...
Yes. And it provides stability; we like stability. But there must be other factors involved. Taking the beach analogy, the beach has a fixed length an...
Anyways, identity is ritual, and ritual has this property of great stability and great ability to transform. Likewise a society can be immune to the i...
That'll do for me. The aim is to get away from the mechanical model, so the harder it is to find the levers the better. Or perhaps I could say, follow...
I went quiet for a bit becauseI ran into the old 'whereof one cannot think, thereof one must stop posting' thing. There's a lot of interesting stuff b...
FWIW then, recurrent dreams are often related to very earliest experiences. Marion Hall as womb with complicated access, therefore, disorganising file...
Laziness is the engine of progress. The wheel was invented by someone too lazy to carry stuff, the cooking-fire by someone too idle to chew, and every...
What does 'simply' mean here? One might substitute 'just'. Therefore justice is simplicity. Or possibly the unit of meaning is not the word, but the p...

This is just the beginning. Liberals, internationalists, and Christians are going to be sorely tested as political and economic based migration is dwa...
Nice to have you aboard! I'm going to play hardball about this; it's a question of time. Something is new at time t, and thereafter it is not strictly...
Thought was never alone, but tends to think it is. I want to dethrone thought, not annihilate it. Rather as technique in art is the servant of a creat...
Guilty as charged, your honour. Where do I stand to deny myself a place to stand? But this I dispute. This is the path we have been pursuing, and it c...
Well that is not at all the implication I want you to draw. The social and symbolic is already real and cannot be suspended. There is no person absent...
