"A barren superfluity of words."

More factually, you don't have much of an idea of what you are talking about, generally speaking. So what I have written goes over your head. Or can't get to your head. Or something.

You’re on fire! Straw burns hot and bright!

Straw dogs can't bite; nor can they think.

Science is inherently progressive in nature. It is restless, always seeking to develop its understanding. It is willing to cast aside any traditional certainties if they prove to be false. It relentlessly challenges and undermines conservative myths and beliefs. So it is no surprise to find that sc...

Having good effects on discussing the nature of reality and creating some potential guidance on the path to enlightenment. But that is my point: it does no such thing. Once we are *cut off* as I say, we are in fact cut off from meaning and its potential for us and in us. Enlightenment is a meaningl...

It simply helps shaping the mind, the thought constellation, which is connected to the universe of perception, feeling and manifestation. Of course reading them but actually trying to write the questions or the answers, making sure everything clicks on all levels, can be hugely beneficial to all in...

There will be great weeping and gnashing of teeth! [O κλαυθμὸς καὶ ὁ βρυγμὸς τῶν ὀδόντων] Yes, and the interesting thing is that it is done; that it felt needful to do it; that is offers a satisfaction or serves (what I can only see) as an imagined function in an imaginary game. It is a vain activi...

This is surely contending for the St. Jacob award for tidy, tight prose presentations containing pithy reduced phrasings, right? Yes, and the interesting thing is that it is done; that it felt needful to do it ; that is offers a satisfaction or serves (what I can only see) as an imagined function i...

I often thank Tao that straw dogs can’t bite.

It was a statement framed as a question. You can if you wish remove the question mark...

Our terms of discourse are too different, Pam. You already know this.

How is that the Logical Logos created its own undermining? This "rebellious" question is very logical, no? Has it ever occurred to you that Lucifer, Rebellion-Dude Extraordinaire, is the true bringer of logic applied to metaphysics? That would be anti-metaphysics, no? and anti-logic? In a...

First off, the whole video is simply an exercise in whining. Bowden is whining that white people shouldn’t be held accountable for the inexcusable way that non-whites were treated in the past, and continue to be treated in the present. More than that, he is whining that he is made to feel so guilty...

While Trump is indubitably a contemptible *person*, he is not the cause of the political chaos we are seeing around the world, despite Diebert's recent feckless postmodernist attempts at retconing my brilliant prophecy about Trump's irrelevance into irrelevance. The fault lines that are widening bo...

Moreover, the kind of intellect that understands and appreciates evolutionary theory is also the same kind of intellect that wants to go beyond traditional, conservative, religious modes of thought. Thus, such an alignment is natural. The same goes for climate change. Those who absorb and take on b...

Diebert's analysis sounds fair to my ears, but only up to a certain point. He, too, is *captured* by certain currents that need to be seen and exposed. In any case, the traditional and philosophical right is exploring that area. From the webpage, quoted above in full: The central idea of Cultural Ma...

Sure, but here you demonstrate how your peculiar and I’d say virulent bias blinds your capacity to see clearly. Your bias, having “possessed” you, produces an analysis that is nothing more than an emotionalized repetition of the common tropes. Though the term Cultural Marxism is — obviously — too va...

Interesting take. I’ll give it some thought. In the meantime let me know your thoughts on the longer talk . . .

One of my main concerns is that people involved in the alt-right universe have lost sight of basic realities that govern society. First, you don't have enough information even to give a definition of Alt-Right. I think that what you refer to is the sensationalistic popular Alt-Right (Milo, Richard ...

“Truth beauty and goodness have their being together, by truth we are put in touch with reality which we find is good for us and beautiful to behold. In our knowing, loving and delighting the gift of reality appears to us as something infinitely and in-exhaustively valuable and fascinating.” "T...

Hi there Pam. Just read this one part and will comment quickly on it: Why? Because the spirit of the Logos is a restless spirit, an ever-moving spirit and will not tolerate man's attempt to limit it to this or that expression. Which means I view the male who plays this game as being eternally caught...

Can "Cultural Marxism" be renamed "Cultural Capitalism", and then validly blamed for all of the above using the selfsame premisses of those world-views which posit the former as an important factor perpetrating sinister changes within society? Yes. Both Marxism and Cultural Marx...

OK, so I have compiled the 'score-card' up to David's last post. The results are: Santiago Odo is clearly in the lead with 9.3 David is sinking badly at 3.1 Pam has done surprisingly well at 6.6 (and this may change depending on what she says about paternalism and logos ) Avolith gets the benefit of...

Masterful exposition! Dump David and follow Eric! But ... To the beginner, the pursuit of enlightenment is the goal to enter a new place, a heaven sometimes called 'Nibbana', which is the promise of a permanent escape from suffering. But to the Sage, suffering and happiness are part of a cycle and a...

This difference is not the only one which distinguishes the Johannine theology of the Logos from the concept of Philo, to which not a few have sought to liken it. The Logos of Philo is impersonal, it is an idea, a power, a law; at most it may be likened to those half abstract, half-concrete entitie...
