Ask a hog what is happening. Go on. Ask him. The road just seems to vanish And not that far in the distance, either. The horizon must have been moved ...

Oregon was kinder to us. The streets Offered a variety of directions to the foot And bookstores where pornography is sold. But then One whiffs just a ...

Now it is the impulse of morning that makes My watch tick. As one who pokes his head Out from under a pile of blankets, the good and bad together, So ...

Yes, but he's leaning into it. That picture is as orchestrated a self-projection as anything from Taylor Swift to Mooji. That you think he has the fac...

It is just the movement of the caravan away Into an abstract night, with no Precise goal in view, and indeed not caring, That distributes this pause. ...

I've only read Submission (looks like maybe the only one you haven't read) but I liked it a great deal. It was a very well-written book, not a word wa...

I suspect your new avatar means you're no longer with us, forum-wise, but I relate to your thoughts about death (though I think I'm a bit younger.) I'...

@"StreetlightX" You mentioned on another thread that I'm often trying to solve personal problems through transpersonal thought (paraphrasing.) I think...

This,I agree with as well. It's closer to the 'social' half of the entwined gustatory/social image I was thinking of - a shared space of reasons, modi...

cool, I'd like to learn more about the history of business, its a blind spot for me.

An accounting textbook, god help me. It's interesting though. It's easier to understand why corporations have come legally to be people when you can s...

@"jjAmEs" Last time we talked on this thread, I was a substantial number of drinks down. I think I was rumbling on with my own train of thoughts and p...

@"StreetlightX" Building off of that, and reflecting personally. I think what happened is the 'explanation' aspect of myself got hypertrophied. When I...

Oh, for sure. I'd respond by saying that those are all determinations of the 'broad and underdetermined' practice I'm talking about - not as a way to ...

I mean both, I think? That's the hard thing, if I understand what I'm talking about. The Black Dragon & The Good Fire are childhood ways of navigating...

Yeah, I'd agree. I don't know to what extent I can step outside the 'landline' -at least right now, on the forums - because the forums are the place I...

But do think it's interesting and para-philosophical - I mean, I was the one who introduced the relationship between litigation and philosophy early o...

I wouldn't lose sleep if I was - I don't particularly care for the whack-a-mole, spot-a-fallacy vibe that's developing here & don't think avoiding sna...

it's a muck and a mess. it's just a mess.

I like a lot of what you've been saying in this thread if taken in a weak, rhetorical sense. 'Agree' isn't really the right word, but I mean taking wh...

@"Shawn" nothing substantial to say, but I like your pic.

That would make a lot of sense. Another thought: I think you can marry the agonistic and litigious aspects of philosophy in the general idea of laying...

Yeah, I think I know what she's talking about. It sounds trivial, but it really is frustrating to just want to be home, like just be at home, and then...

that doesnt sound like my experience, but it does put me in mind of the revolving door of your thinking. i don't want to jump to conclusions, but mayb...

I've felt weird about this, but same. I've lost 6 pounds since this started (or to be precise, since when I started working at home the beginning of t...

gut take - I think April is going to be horrible. We're still at the beginning. It will get real, next month, when cases overwhelm hospitals. I think ...

if i cant handle you at your skipped rock, i dont deserve you at your godspeed. this is perfect for right now, good play

hell yeah. I haven't talked frog eyes in a decade, cheers

One thing that always stuck with me: I remember my friend telling me about an interview with Mercer he read where Mercer talked about how whenever he ...

Polyani rules, but this sounds like a blurb of a blurb. Polyani was cool, he was in it, he wrote what he experienced. If you've read The Great Transfo...

I am! Tears of the Valedictorian. One of my big high school albums. Frog Eyes is by far the grimiest (in a good way) of all his projects, though, to b...

fair enough, but i don't want you to leave thinking this is an AI question. I could have said 'Nike Airs' or even ' baseball cards' instead of 'comput...

I may be fanning my vanity, but I flatter myself I can understand both modern skepticism and appreciation of the scholastics. Wherever you stand, it's...

Anyone who has to do triage during the peak should get a full paid year off after this, at the very least. I wouldn't wish that on anyone.

jesus. What happens when the bed shortage mean 50000 uncared for? People die at home and in the streets? I guess that's already happening to some exte...

For sure. I feel like this is the source of the infamous arrogance of philosophers. I think it applies to a lot of types, but philosophers can be some...

that's a really good way of breaking it down. Once a thing is seen 'as a thing', its fitted into a vast network of other things and their relations. K...

Transitioned to that same kind of arrangement sophomore year. My ex-girlfriend at the time began freshman year with that arrangement at well, but she ...

We do, at least if we can afford the million dollars a year to attend. My freshman year of college there were three of us in a room about 2/3 of the s...

:up: :up: that's not a bad idea

Good question, what with us not living in the same room. I assume the term is some kind of manifestation of our great entrepeneurial spirit and for no...

I have a dear abby question, corona related. My roommate's girlfriend has been here for three weeks now, has left the apartment maybe three times duri...

I'd been drinking the last time we talked. Looking back, I was surly and projecting. I'm an attention-seeker myself, so I'm probably more likely to di...

Fair enough, I don't think I disagree with most of what you've said in this thread, factually. I just tire of the viewpoint/approach, which feels like...

I would characterize your recent post history as something like : 1 won't happen. ok 1 happened, but 2, are you crazy? ok, 2 happened, but 3 would nev...

If Schopenhauer was pissed with Hegel on those terms, he wouldn't have written WWR! A system is a system is a system. He was probably more upset with ...

I think that's right. And I think, in that stroke, the whole idea of 'will' becomes void, like you said. Still. We live, and see what we do, and then ...

sure, Schopenhauer it sounds like. What do you understand by 'will'?

I think the multiplicity is itself a bright side! I'm slowly getting to know myself. That's good. And the bad sides of myself too. That's hard. But at...
