Perhaps they don't see whatever truth is in the work, it does nothing for them, it does not open up any possibilities in their lives. Atonal music is ...
Certainly if there is only one observer, that is the community, but no, not ad populum as I stated it is the relationship between matter, the narrativ...
Beauty is only beautiful if its intrinsic truth opens a new range of possibilities in the way that we conceptualize the our narratives about the art o...
Well that's part of the problem, how do we independently conceptualize time, since it's inherent in our conveyance of thought, our expressions in lang...
I think language is the tool by which we think, it constitutes thought. Our conception of time seems, to me, to be built into the syntax of language. ...
Don't we perceive the effect and impute the cause. We use our reason and memory to do this, perhaps memory is inner 'space' (how we measure), then tim...

Perhaps weirdly dovetailing into my conversation with TS, he thinks that our experiences can't be uploaded onto a disk, and he is probably right, but ...
No, but what does that mean? I think it means that our notions about such concepts such as identity are faulty, as you state we seem to have no such p...
I am not sure. Do you think all experiences would have to be down loaded? or just those experiences that are pertinent to identity (if tech was this a...
I think there may be a basic error in saying 'my experience constitutes me'. Suppose everything that is embedded in the brain could be downloaded, put...

Yes, and I have recently thought that this may be the wrong question. Universals are not things, concepts are not things, but they do have utility, wh...
The adoption of universals in dialogue, communication seem necessary. My point is that we can't get by in life without using them. We constuct our sen...

Isn't that exactly what your Supreme Court will be asked to decide, i.e., whether or not legislation is required to Brexit. How did the UK enter the E...
I don't disagree with anything you have outlined. I think there are endemic issues in our system that may not have had racial implications when implem...
