Re: on paradox

David Quinn: Reject utterly everything that one has learned and start afresh, that is my dictum. Accept nothing but the logical process. and I go on where I left: Another such paradox arises: by the use of adjectives that are either autologic or not, and by onomatopoeia (itself heterologous) as dist...

Re: intuition

Leonardo da Vinci comes to mind and his ability to predict future technologies (ex. the helicopter). Although, it's much more likely that future generations probably took the idea from his work.
helicopters, planes and tanks were already drawn by the egyptians

Re: intuition

As processes rather than things , intuition - as well as reasoning - in and of themselves - do not guarantee the objective rightness of any given thing reasoned or intuited. As processes, like organs and immune systems, they can malfunction. What is always right about them is their relationship to ...

Re: Aesthetic experience as a 'mini-me' of enlightenment?

The downside of these kinds of philosophies that vilify, if you will, the processes of life, is that they often produce an unbalanced and rather sickly individual, a distorted individual, a mind-fucked individual. That's very Nietzschean thinking of you and even he was by all measures rather sickly...

Re: Modus Operandi

Re: Modus Operandi

I will formulate some theses, on sorcery: our whole means of expression (of agreed meanings) is semantical, an ambiguous method, whether conveying ideas, values, facts or fictions, which has ever-variant meanings to the recipient; there are few 'one to one' meanings of words. therefore, although it ...
