Maybe moralizing tout court is a mistake. Maybe there are inferiorities and superorities, and they have nothing to do with personal values, but innate...
Nietzsche saw a progressive move away from nature, away from chaos creativity, and competition towards the last men. Imposed superfluous equality. The...
This is the Christian irony. Both the religious wills to truth, and to morality turn in on themselves. Implode. All higher values devalue themselves. ...
What if I didn't fear you? What if I believed in your innate, surpluses of benevolence? Do you think that a truly malevolent person needs your permiss...
That first song is about cashing in on 9/11 topicality, the thing they're doing with the song ironically, as I doubt that the album is being given awa...
No pressure eh? Lol. Well, I post for my own benefit, because I feel the need to put thoughts into garbled misspelled words, lol. I have a hell of a l...
I didn't realize that it was a whole album. Are there a couple choice songs off it for like an introduction? I am more of a song liker than band liker...
I didn't mean to come off as like disagreeable, but only explain that I never even thought of a picture frame, which really adds rather than subtracts...
I do like the imagery a lot, but I was thinking of a frame like a scaffolding (mentioned both in the OP), like the beginning outline of a structure. C...
Well, orange is named after the fruit, and not the other way around. Place, some more ah-hem... hunter gatherer communities still identify colours wit...
Kind of from left field. I never suggested or hinted at a complete lack of frames... just hoping not to get too wed to any particular ones, and just s...
It's like the difference between crystallized and fluid thinking. Fluid thinking operatives in the unknown, and crystallized in the known. The latter ...
This is a good example, see I would say that phronesis sounds like the same thing as "tacit knowledge", as I've read about both of those things, and t...
Well, I wouldn't want to just think that everything I see is the same things as what I've already seen and know... that doesn't lend itself to learnin...
I was thinking of them as more general principles, that one sees everything in relation to. One surely can be play, and maybe another one serious busi...
Why is metacognition a benefit? I'm not just continually asking these questions... but the point is that you are eventually going to have to say for n...
That's what I did... and looking for a job and suffering for it, but I got some distance away from my mom, and got rid of my little sister. She was al...
It's not clear or obvious, especially when just contemplating, or talking, which I'll polarize for my purposes. Contemplation in my view is to wonder,...
How radical is the alterity? I think that it's possible to occupy the same frame, and perception itself will fall in line. Though, since it can never ...
That's true too. The "objective view", or the scientific view is an inherently unself-conscious one. It removes the first person, and renders everythi...
I think of rose tinted glasses as like dispositional attitudes towards things that we're seeing. I once saw a ted talk where buddy said that we all ha...
If someone can understand things from another person's perspective, then they're pretty much fucking magic... I don't have high hopes for an objective...
I think that morality is the most true, or most certain thing. I might make a thread about it, but we're dual hemisphere, the left hemisphere does the...
If everything reduces to one thing, then it doesn't matter what we call it. Physical, holographic, green cheese or whatever. It all reduces to the sam...
I think that socially "structured" is better than "constructed". Although the latter no more implies from scratch, or out of nothing at all. Everythin...
A whole lot is genetic, and epigenetics can influence gene expression, and thus behavioral traits within a single generation. Original sin, what what....
It does have a whole lot to do with breaking old habits. Before we know any better, or when we're still quite impressionable, we establish a lot of de...
I drink mountains of coffee. See, I'm the opposite of that, I was sick as a kid, and even though I was starved I was overweight, had a herniated bowl,...
We do actually learn how to become adults from our parents, as they're pretty much the only steady adult influences that we really get a close look at...
I always expect that everyone will eventually discover what a dick I am, or I feel phony, or like I'm tricking them if they think I'm anything other t...
I don't know what to say. I should definitely try harder to move ahead in life. Can't go off to school because that shit ain't free, need to get any j...
Everything is kind of a mixture of things, and all entangled up in the environment, and we differentiate it. Water and beans too. I don't think that c...
As I said, I don't buy that "molecules", or atoms, or quanta are more real than apples. They reduce to the perceptual world, and are just a reformulat...
Most people are not physicalists, or materialists, and believe in an incomprehensible world beyond the manifest. I think that in strawmaning such a na...
There is object permanence. Does it look like anything sound like anything, taste like anything absent those sensuous modes? Of course not, that's tau...
Worse than that, I think that it's even dangerous to think that way. If one thinks that ideas get them closer to the true true than sense (the only pl...
As I said, I doubt that anyone holds such a naive view -- but I think that it's important to appreciate that everything you know about cups, and what'...
I don't feel that one gets closer to metaphysical reality, the further removed from sense, or experience we go into abstraction. I really don't think ...
