Philosophical Speculations

Here I am doubtful, because I would say that the larynx gestures are rather outputs. When we use the vocal flow to dictate the post rather than typing it, we still rely on the same inner voice out of which we usually think. When we use typing or writing or reading, that's also still based on that ...

PS: about your wrist, sorry about that. I've just heard great comments about this app, in case you want to try it: https://wisprflow.ai/ Thanks! Funnily enough, most of my above comment (and this one) was written with exactly that app :) I do highly recommend it as well, as it is the best one I ...

Yes, I read the book and appreciated it. Yet, getting what HHU - or sound common sense - really means in Steiner is not so easy. It's a thin line. For example, in this lecture (1922) it appears clearly that sound common sense refers to someone who has not developed clairvoyance. And so the question ...

I'm not sure if we have mentioned this before on the forum, but I've recently been reviewing Kuhlewind's book " Working with Anthroposophy ," which is extremely relevant to our ongoing discussions about the bridge from ordinary intellectual experience to a living understanding of spiritual science ...

In most cases, these mental rehearsals have an iterative character. It is like exploring a “what if” scenario. This is very clearly experienced in games like chess. Here in the background hovers our ideal – to win the game. Now, of all the possible moves we could make, we are only interested in thos ...

So you mean, in principle, whether it is in my destiny, so to speak, that I should complete this degree? If so, then that leads me to an important question: how can I be sure? How do I know that the ...

Here a possible speculative question arises when we notice how certain technology may reduce the level of indirection in our interactions with the game of life. For example, in a VR interface (game or other) the level of the game controllers is taken away. The idea is that out biological sphere of ...

I know this will be controversial, but in many cases, in a strange way, Valentin Tomberg is taken hostage to achieve this self-pleasing, customizable, complementary, boxed Anthroposophy. Yes, it is certainly possible that people utilize VT in that way, like Steiner himself is taken hostage in these ...

I want to share here a fitting example of unfree philosophizing, where one allows personal preferences to take arbitrary lead: It's interesting because, just yesterday, I came across a book by Judith von Halle that addresses this exact way of approaching Steiner's ideas, which is, unfortunately ...
