Philosophical Speculations

Speaking of being unable to evaluate mathematical frameworks, I listened to this Hoffman interview recently and found it stimulating to contemplate, nonetheless. https://youtu.be/Hf1q-bZMEo4?si=C_rI0ZTLWawf4Vnv The interview is centered around this paper , which I haven't had a chance to try and ...

Hello, Ashvin. Well, I didn't notice any real progress in the weeks that followed. To be more precise, things went in the opposite direction for me. For some reason, my perception receded again. So the “unwiggling of the physical kernel” retracted again. I described it to Cleric like this: "Now I no ...

Same here. I have a FB account, but without being a member of the group it doesn't work. Right, and if either of you feel like joining the group at some point, I was somehow made into an admin and can admit you :) Although I throw a lot of flack at such groups and the way most members approach ...

I'd like to share a Facebook post from the Anthroposophy page here.

We can forget the triangle image. Pick a random point, say, the corner ...

All in all, if the people looking for answers continously demonstrate, that they re-frame their questions in such a way to appeal to their own pre-constructed views of the world and refuse to even consider, for a moment, to abolish them, the discussion should necessarily stop. And not go into ...

Such a comment becomes transparent when we try to feel how he had already been dressing up mental dolls in the phenomenological (Goethean) and esoteric (e.g. Aurobindo) domains for a long time. That is exactly the symptom of living consistently in doll mode within the domain of esoteric ...

With these examples you have given Kaje, I suppose our idea of finding relevance in the essays and dressing up mental dolls is highly misaligned . MM and Eugene (who are quite similar, in this context) stand out to me as stellar examples of those who find the content of phenomenological inquiry and ...

This said, in conclusion I agree things should not be forced through deception or through customization and monetization, as you say. What I was thinking about was actually on another register. I have in mind examples of people with a keen interest in inquiring about the nature of reality, and also ...
