I agree. I also think it's good to hypothesize and say 'maybe it's like this' and then see how well the hypothesis stands up to scrutiny. But I someti...
Yeah, tbh, I totally understand - and have understood - this model. And it admittedly had an elegance-in-its-inelegance - i think of it as a tgw versi...
Ok, thanks, that's what I was looking for - the wherefore of your vehemence. I agree that intimacy and loyalty are important and ought be cultivated.I...
What position? Darth put forth the argument that allowing transgendered individuals to use bathrooms historically designated for those who were born a...
"collective projection" is not the same thing as harmonious totality. I'm with you on emergence vs top-down. In any case projection, as you describe i...
Darth said he was against LGBT parades in places where people were LGBT-friendly, implicitly suggesting that the purpose of LGBT parades is to fight e...
What I'm trying to understand is how you reconcile the non-omnipotence of the subject(ed) with the inescapable subject-object (subject - objecting-of-...
If your jam is shaming sluts, I guess that's how it is. Hope you get some good shaming in this week. But why would I - or anyone - care at all whether...
Movies aren't necessary. Nor are proms. Nor are the Olympics. Nor are fishing trips. etc. I'm not sure what relevance 'necessity' has at all. So many ...
The Henry book sounds interesting. I'll see if I can track a copy down. Impenetrable is ok. As to the squirrel. Well, maybe it doesn't project an acor...
As to the main point: men have ample opportunity to be alone with women in all sorts of places. Bathrooms are super public and anyone could walk in at...
I'm no social justice warrior - and I know this isn't the main focus of your post - but I don't get the logic of not being for gay pride events in gay...
On my phone so I can't mount a full response. Will later. The key to the transitional objects is imo that subjectivies are always already harbored and...
Even if there's nothing 'there,' there is absolutely a process of 'there-ing' and 'object-ing.' (& you got Husserl and intentionality even with ideas ...
Yeah, have you ever tried to read Dennett's Consciousness Explained? It's like there's some switch turned off in his mind and he is constitutionally u...
That latter answer doesn't seem very good to me. Q What's the origin of that island? A: That island doesn't come from anywhere because you aren't seei...
This is still confusing to me. Classical psychological projection makes already-existing others bearers of the feelings we can't deal with harboring o...
Your use of 'projection' is confusing to me. I know, from older posts, you're wary of light metaphors; and I know, from this thread, that you're wary ...
In the original, Heidegger never mentions being! Most of his books are just intricate grumblings about faulty traffic lights and the price of rice in ...
Maybe MP's 'we' is a self-aggrandizing reaction to narcissistic injury, but, tbh, I think it's reallly hard to say unless you know: (1)What's going on...
A coworker of mine recently posted a link to an 'upworthy article' ( Upworthy is basically Buzzfeed meets chicken soup for the soul, if you don't know...
Recall a moment, if you're able, when you danced with total abandon. You'd have to realllly stretch to find the 'presentation' in this kinda experienc...
I think it follows that a distribution of potential sources (not necessarily objects) of gratification can precede and so partially account for the pa...
( This real quick, before the rest: Could you provide an example of previously unrelated objects coming into relation? I think the contrast would help...
It's always possible that there might be a monster - real or imagined - who wants to eat, among other things, urns containing grandmother-ashes.Are yo...
It would certainly come as a surprise to the guy in the apartment that there cannot be an acorn in one part of the yard without the possibility of the...
Let's tweak the example. Imagine a courtyard bisected by a large stone wall. In one half grows an oak. In the other there's a fountain. On the north s...
I always get a little concerned when people talk about the world's 'dreamlike quality" For 'dreamlike' to be in any way meaningful, it must be possibl...
Why -and under what conditions - do pain and strife force a world to grow, to "take shape"? Is it because the pain or pleasure becomes too intense? Bu...
Why -and under what conditions - do pain and strife force a world to grow? Is it because the pain or pleasure becomes too intense? But intensity, appa...
No I agree. It's hungry and has no choice. As you say, it has to follow 'clues' about where the food is. There is no such thing as a 'clue' if there's...
The world came after. So the hungry being was hungry and projected a world in which the satisfaction of its hunger lies in zone x and not zone y. Let'...
Yes, newly able to represent time as linear. I agree that the being was hungry before that moment. Do you agree that these beings are dependent for th...
I think it's all relevant tbh. That's what makes it so hard. I have trouble limiting myself. It's probably my biggest problem. If there're six movies ...
Also I can't help but note the irony in your initial insistence that ordinary language should suffer 'violence' and neologisms for the sake of philoso...
Agreed that they're not "now." As you said it gets tricky with tenses and you've gotta futz with terminology. "Contained in the now" is a gesture towa...
ok, let's assume determinism for now. At a certain moment, time blooms into an intricate linear flower, its end and its beginning contained already in...
Think I'm done for the night. Posts are getting more intricate and i'm (1) posting on my phone from a bar and (2) drinking. Down to take it from here ...
I'm gonna be a total dick right now bc I don't care. If you have any questions related to this thread, please start another thread and post them there...
When I say it won't rain tomorrow and it rains tomorrow, was I really already wrong at the moment I said it wouldn't rain? That's not clear to me. I c...
It's xxx x b.c. there may or not be an artifact x that comes about in 1966. It could go either way. How can a statement in xxxx bc about x's date of c...
I don't think it's orthogonal. If you don't take the deterministic position, then, tenses aside, the question of when it became true that the artifact...
