The only thing you mention specifically in your post in relation to the fires is this comment on temperature changes. So it seems to suggest you conne...

So, for instance, an apparatchik of the communist party is overriding his hardwired beliefs in individualism and cooperation and choosing party ideolo...

It’s not so much what my opinion of it is as it hasn’t really had a huge impact on the world at large. I haven’t seen evidence of it entering public i...

I never thought of myself in specific terms. But I’d be interested to hear more.

I was talking to someone this morning about religion, whether we would ever have a world free of religion, one that functioned without unquestioned be...

Well I said that because there’s the suggestion that climate change temperatures cause the fires. I can’t speak for other regions in the world but for...

I’ve just realised the book I had wasn’t ‘Archetypes and the Collective Unconsciousness’ so I might look that up. Thanks.

I think it’s very likely that others will not respond to uncompromising posts. They make begin the conversation then pass. As for an artist it’s diffi...

To be fair the level of drought and fires is the result of lack of rain. I think the balance of nature in Australia is exactly what’s happening now an...

That may be true and you may not try to persuade others of your viewpoint, but plenty of others here give it a go. And many of us try to change the po...

I think being really honest and working from an original thought of your own, to develop even the merest seed, and putting it out there is quite diffi...

That’s a very interesting point. I’m hoping that people are going to look at climate change a little differently than we have been.

I’d just like to go back to this statement of mine. It might be more accurate that we create ourselves because we are so very little. Who exactly are ...

I did have “Archetypes and The Collective Unconscious” and “Man and His Symbols” and in a moment of thinking I was done with Jung then sold them. Mayb...

So why the interview, then, if the war is won? If the intellectual war is won everything else should follow. After all the science is in.

Does informed necessarily mean enlightened? Not in a spiritual sense but in knowing.

That’s an interesting point; to be post literate and yet to feel informed. And yet we are informed in this most primitive sense.

I think in many ways we have very small minds. Some people really make a difference through their actions. Which is why I sometimes get short with peo...

I feel that it’s just a symbolic gesture. Greta and Attenborough; both tv factoids. What exactly is meant to come out of it? He has a degree in natura...

I don’t know. I have to question myself often about how much I really know about the US.

Sceptical of what? I began on the left politically. But philosophically I always leaned in the direction of anthropology and a Darwinian point of view...

I continue with this OP in the hope of clarifying ideas I have. They may not be cohesive but other posts may help me formulate something I’m trying to...

Sure. Thanks.

How far down the line can this be taken before it begins to wobble? I know his names been brought up but I can't remember in what context; Manson send...

Mapping the medium seems to be a podcast run by Catherine Tyrrell. I'm happy to be corrected.

Unless that person is here to promote something.

s I don't understand why you're here then.

Who exactly are you angry at?

There is something that I have not seen mentioned on any OPs about this issue, ( though I may have missed it) which is about a child’s influence on th...

Oh, oh.

Though, if I understand correctly, that “homosexual” gene can always be passed on by a heterosexual couple, correct?

Sure, I understand that. I think where I might be tripping up is that you mean ‘an interest in other men’, that the gene creates. But doesn’t that mea...

Okay, I think I get it. But if a man had a sexual interest in other men and only other men how would that gene be passed on?

Is it suggesting there could be a homosexual gene?

I’m finding it difficult to connect these two statements.

Hi, @"Mapping the Medium". I’ve had an on again off again relationship with Jung. Very few people respond to any mention of Jung and if they do it’s m...

Your post is interesting in the assumptions you make of others. First I imagine @"Bitter Crank" post isn’t addressing the problem in terms of straws a...

Yes, I have read a bit on ideas of The Spectacle; “All that once was directly lived has become mere representation." It also brings to mind Baudrillar...

That’s the first truth of climate change. The second truth is that we cannot agree on how much CO2 is being released. If we can’t agree on that then w...

I have read a bit on media studies. Marshall McLuhan I’m familiar with. I did quickly check out your reference to Postman. Their work is always intere...

I don’t really like doing this sort of thing, it just leads to an endless back and forward of who’s who and who’s not, but you insist I never give an ...

I’m not expecting you to agree with me. My initial response was to the alarmist comments that you and others posted. I’m not unaware of the damage to ...

God, you’re so predictable, every one of you.

I can’t remember when my doubts began or what started them. I do remember beginning to see a lot of reports appearing with very loose language, claims...

I appreciate your post, but there’s no point in trying to remind me that I’m ignorant and uninformed. I’ve being thinking about this since 2006; “An I...

What a refreshing post. The way you write reminds me of the Kafka parable “Before the Law”. “Grasping illuminations of essence that must remain abstra...

The media, is that what you mean?

I don’t know if you failed to read this carefully or purposely misconstrued it. It’s not faith in “the pharaoh” I mentioned but faith in ourselves, in...

From Carl Jung “Indeed, it is becoming ever more obvious that it is not famine, not earthquakes, not microbes, not cancer but man himself who is man’s...

I understand that. What I’m thinking of is the idea that we’ve created something, a runaway virus, that’s escaped our control, almost like an A.I. tha...
