GENIUS FORUMS

Most Esteemed Seeker. I think we should recognise - I hope that you do - that you are I were not created by the Causality to agree, nor like Jupi's giant swirling galaxies, to blend. As you know, and even if you consider it a borrowed idea, or a delusional 'story' about 'reality', I have a strong hu...

I still am not sure exactly where Diebert fits into a great deal of 'all this'. I am concerned at times by the fixation on Baudrillardian conundrums - and they are 'late' conundrums of a man unsettled in the frame of the human.

There is always a road of breadcrumbs left by the causality to pick up and taste (or feast upon) both for the conventional path and for the path of its transcendence. They have different tastes to be sure, but their tastes are there for willing tongues. This is an interesting and a pretty complex m...

Indeed, and this seems to be the core of the difference. I promote that groundlessness, that falling away of what has been established, that renunciation of all prejudice, predisposition, and familiarity, whereas you disagree with this core idea. To confront what it is that I understand you as prom...

Seriously, I say you're an idiot, you say I'm an idiot, who is correct? If I were you I'd seriously consider my position. Thank the lord, a statement! Was it really that hard? As a statement it is not much, and there are others I've made. If I have contributed to your sense of accomplishment I am h...

Seriously, I say you're an idiot, you say I'm an idiot, who is correct? If I were you I'd seriously consider my position. It's been added to the list of undeniable proofs of wrongness, to be referred to at a later date when hopefully logic reigns surpreme: Beingof1- "I had a conversation with ...

Graveyard did you say? Oh but don't die yet! To polish your metaphor (I'd have busted you if you'd not put it in quotes!) I think that you'd better have said a moribundary . A place for people to go and die, or a place for those in processes of dying. This will make Diebert Mother Teresa! ;-) You a...

Sure, and what did he say? What do you take that to mean? You misunderstand: I am not interested, right now, in submitting to your interrogation. You do get this, don't you? So, what I am saying is (in regard to those giant questions such as death, afterlife, etc): we can get closer and closer to th...

...try to actually think for a moment and see if that's true. "You can get nearer and nearer, so to speak, to reality; but you can never get near enough because reality is an infinite succession of steps, levels of perception, false bottoms, and hence unquenchable, unattainable." Note tha...

Reading what you have to write reminds me of going to a play. This forum isn't a stage with an audience, it's a 'graveyard' as people like to call it, and the ideas which you imagine come hand in hand with it, don't. That is a curious statement, from my angle of view. However, if you were to be mor...

But it is indeed outlandish to suggest that anyone can retrace any of Eliot's or anyone's steps, or even their own steps for that matter. You mentioned that I use the term “ignorance”: here it is, revealed in the light of the darkness of your words above, laid open for close examination if you care...

Please explain, since so far that seems like the worst advice I've ever heard. I think as it pertains to my ideas and my writing, that you'll have to glean answers to your questions through a closer reading. ...what on earth are you doing on this forum? In this case, responding to some statements m...

I don't understand you, Pam. It is that I do not grasp the *predicates* you operate from. I assume you have a developed vocabulary and too that one could inquire into its terms. You assign a special value to 'wisdom' obviously. You seem to have a particular epistemological position. 'Ignorance' mean...

I guess a lot of what I've written doesn't make sense without some context. Some logic which is obvious to me but apparently not to you, which I'll list now: Firstly, those philosophers, such as yourself, who so often refer to and quote other philosophers are, just like most everyone else, leaning ...

PS: I did not and do not use these terms: emptiness or causality. You have read badly. These are Diebert's terms and to get clarity about them you'll have to refer to him. I only made a comment in relation to something he said. If you read badly - carelessly - you do not have a mind that I much want...

Christians and Me It is good every once in a while to bring in one of the main elements that inspired the present (veering) trend in discussion. I came across this quote by TS Eliot: If Christianity goes, the whole of our culture goes. Then you must start painfully again, and you cannot put on a ne...

Seeker: The only way to honestly speak about metaphysics is to speak about Shakespeare! If you knew more about Shakesepear you'd know so much more about metaphysics and also 'self'. I'd suggest that conversation is on-going and in the sense I mean is eternal. It is more a question of entering into i...

But if you want a conversation about it with real human beings, in the sense of rational actors, it needs rationality and logic. You have presented me with a bit of a puzzle. It is not easy of solution. You propose something which requires a turning-back, a revision in a real sense, a retracing of ...

::: yawn ::: It is more amazing how much can be said but how little of it is understood. This seems to be because of illiteracy. It is imperative, from my angle and perspective, to gain literacy so to engage in higher thought, in philosophy, as well as morality, art, culture, civilisation and then, ...

And you killed him instantly for saying such a stupid thing, an evil thing, right? But I should warn you: the barbarians are on the rise, there is no avoiding such run-ins. Many fly in here, lured I guess by the scent of genius. Something in the sheen of absoluteness I suppose. You'll have to learn ...

Personally I like to turn the game against itself, as to bend a conversation back onto itself, creating literary self-awareness of some kind. Well, as an ice skating figure of speech. I am interested in using another's perspective - that includes other writing, poems, many things - and weaving pers...

We cannot impose our limiting rules on communication... Now, this is rather crucial: Not only can we not insist, through powerplaying, that others communicate to us in certain ways; we also establish that the Kosmos, the Entire World, Consciousness, Being and Meaning will not be controlled by our l...

Without, it all becomes vanity rather quickly. Actually, what it becomes is more like 'refusal to participate in your project'. What I have noticed here, just now, is that Seeker has taken issue with the way that things are said and he demands that things be said in another way. It is an ultimatum ...

You're not exactly famous yourself for having good reading skills when it comes to reading what others are saying to you outside the odd book. It's a matter of being able to give the proper attention combined with a minimum of emotional attachments ("blinders"). Even then, first one has t...

Well, to be fair, open, honest and 'wise', it is true that he misread Stuckenberg's statement about materialism as being mine, when I was alluding/referencing this [metaphysical] notion of 'ultima Thule' (and thus making a reference to all metaphysics, its problematic nature, and more). But I also r...
