Cory, CP: Do you agree that the signifier(the symbol) is not the signified(sensation, chemical reaction, quality)? GS: Yes. They are two different things. But they can both be called symbols. CP: Can you give me an example of how this is so? I don’t quite follow. Well, a concept or a sensation are...

Cory Patrick wrote: CP: In the case of drug addicts, it is not the symbol that they are aesthetically involved with and addicted to, (however, they may “also” be addicted to the symbolic as well); it is an actual quality (a drug) (or a woman) which of course is a non-symbol. Even sensations or q...

When I was given a ride home last night by an O.P.P. officer, before I got into his cruiser, he asked me if I had any weapons. Without missing a beat, I told him that I had "powerful philosophy."

Yeah, they're on there. Check out the fangirl's blog for some of his

And this is no exception: Men grow out of sperm so they never lose their admiration for that Top of te Pyramid, the one out of billions who made it to the summit. So it came as no great surprise to me that [Hemingway] liked "playing girlfriend" with Mary and with his other wives. He wasn't...

Is it still around?

You can say "fuck" here, you know.

These are the writings of Miklos Nagy, the full version. I think he is too stuck in the Christian mentality, but there are still some good things contained herein. http://grshantz.topcities.com/sim/miklosnagy.html If there is any problems with the formatting or spelling, it is probably because I tri...

What's the difference between an ideology and a religion?

Our new religion - Our new religion is scientific materialism. Scientists are our priests while doctors and mental health professionals are our Inquisition, forcing heretics to convert with the threat of being drugged into harmless unconsciousness, there where they can do no more harm to the belief...

I met Miklos Nagy and he gave me his writings, all forty-eight pages of it. Here are a few quotes before I get the whole thing typed and post it. It's pretty Christian-based but there's still some good stuff. Used without permission. -History repeats itself, so does nature but life is a line. We mus...

My three favourite movies of last year were:

Land of the Dead
A History of Violence
Bad News Bears

None of them are a waste of your time.

The Island was also an okay sci-fi.

David Hume was an 18th century philosopher, not a 19th century one, as you state in chapter two.

I think feminist masculinity is stridency.
