GENIUS FORUMS

Kant is a metaphysician, but because he [figuratively] shot metaphysics in the foot, he gets categorised as a Rationalist. So who in the modern era has represented metaphysics in terms of qualifying for the front rank? In my opinion only Hegel makes the grade; he is the sole modern example of what ...

You put some time into that and it is appreciated. I do not find much there to comment on. I don't notice a great deal of relationship to Hegelian idealism. It would be helpful, at least in relation to my posts, to try to keep the focus on the dominant idea. The thread's title spells it out, at leas...

I think absolute truth can be reclarified as absolute experience. I don't know what absolute truth is other than that. Possibly what you mean is that experience, or possibly existence - that existence exists - is the only thing that could be referred to as absolute. It is a notion that is hard to r...

The antithesis of absolute truth would be nonexistence, whatever does not exist is not absolute truth. You wrote, interestingly enough, 'anthesis': the flowering period of a plant, from the opening of the flower bud . I assume you wished to write antithesis. In some sense I think your point has val...

Similarly, Pam, to participate 'genuinely' in a conversation revolving around Hegelian metaphysics would require more familiarity with its tenets, and its implications. I don't think that such a deviation is recommended nor would I recommend it to you, given your declared stance. I'd suggest working...

You made a post devoted to "Absolute Truth", yet almost half of it is about race and culture. My 'he's a nutter' alert is on level red. I probably am [confused]. I don't see what your race and culture arguments have to do with anything related to Absolute Truths. Also, you say you are aga...

Immanence is about the nation as the objective manifestation of our subjective being. Every nation has a metaphysical order that reflects the ‘cause of our consciousness’; the nation serves our needs because it is arranged according to bedrock human nature as dictated by. Metaphysical analysis of p...

These contributions are interesting and worthy of consideration. In respect to Europe, and in respect to strong idealism and ideation, in respect to the capacity to come to strong definitions and to give order to the present (or demand order in the present), my impression is that many of the ideas p...

I PM'd you in your capacity os moderator, or one who has taken that role in any case, and I prefaced that PM thusly: "I am starting with a very reasonable request to you, also stated on-forum, in the hope that you will see and understand the good sense of the observations. I do not want any mor...

I don't want private back-door communications with you, Diebert. Keep it on-forum.

A request like that needs some substantiation. Keep it impersonal if you like but that will be hard since you have personal reasons to continue posting on this forum with three or four active members left who are not in the same boat as you and never will be. It is you who are having difficulty kee...

This is important enough to warrant some energy. What I see here is that you, Diebert, have converted your personal opinion and your personal animosity toward my person (the sort of person I am with the sort of intellectual interests and focus I have, as distinct from yours as type ) into a personal...

Well, with this you win. When moderation becomes - as in this case - arbitrary and personal it is no longer an 'open forum', and thus not one that I will participate in.

Diebert, there is something really off in your present thrust. You have now backed away from one deceptive statement and are now making a different, but related, accusation, the purpose of which is only to discredit me publicly. This is not, as I hope you are aware, between you and me, but between y...

By the way, can we at least agree that your story about wife and kid is a botched attempt to write more fictional stories here? Let me get this straight: Are you saying that I am not married? Or are you saying that you think I have stated that her child (not mine) is actually mine? You are getting ...

Lets imagine a "technocratation" of our lives where technology and artificial chemistry would replace or facilitate current addictions to faith, entertainment, war, sex and various sentimental moods. What exactly is the loss from your perspective. Which reasons you have to worry? A declin...

This forum was meant as a place to reflect on ultimate realities and enlightenment but not on the specific illness of a current culture or any dysfunctional behaviour which came yesterday and will be gone tomorrow. Gosh, this is a loaded declaration! The topic name I chose is Confronting chaos, sur...

Again, Diebert, I find I am not moved much by your analysis. What I note in it is its 'totalizing' quality, and a desire (which is emotionalism in action I think) to carry out thorough devastation of another's position, stance or approach. I think you should be informed that in nearly all circumstan...

http://m.uploadedit.com/ba3u/1455336041960.gif What I wanted to say I said here . I think you mostly spoke on other topics, no? For Heaven's sake calm down. Sometime later I may respond to a point or two you raised. But yours is a post to which it is unadvised to respond. __________________________...

I thought this might be of interest to you Pam:

Since you can't be bothered, nor can I be bothered to respond to your enquiry.

It is man who pays the utility bill, who educates his children, builds his house. I have no ways to speak of a God who is (as you imply) an active actor in our world except to note that it is man who mediates God. It is Revelation in man that illuminates an idea of God. Also, it is not that I ignore...

Gustav : I say that 'strong idea must become self-law'. Meaning, we have to arrive at a strong definition which is then the basis for an ethic, and the primary focus of the ethic is toward the self. Seems as clear as day. Pam : Very interesting that you interpret the worldview of the posters here a...

To gain a basic sense of what I mean by the use of those qualifiers, you would only have to have read what I have written and glean it out of that. The question about 'value' - what one values and why - is a good one. The observation that you make appears sound: there is such a thing as strong motiv...

I don't think you really have much background in Evola's processes or ideas since, based on what I know of him, you have significantly mistated him. But there are indeed 'traditionalists' who take the historical view that you describe. So, I am not convinced that I missed the deeper layers of your a...
