Re: Consciousness, Civilization and Citizenship
There are no rules against using lethal force to eradicate people whose actions you perceive to be a threat to the 'ecosystem'? That's news to me and doesn't sound like being a responsible Citizen in any sense of that word. Ashvin, my original question was really about concrete mice-human relation,...

We'll have that in 50 years for sure... easy peezy.

Re: Nolan Movies - Especially Tenet
It takes a little while to get your head around Tenet. It’s interesting that they have it such that it’s the intention to drop the reverse entropy bullet that picks it up... (I don’t think that’s too much of a spoiler?) For sure, Nolan explores the Fate-Free Will polarity in depth, while only havin...

Re: Atlas & Jason Reza Jorjani ~ Metaphysics & Geopolitics
This was a very good interview. It kind of perplexed me that Jorjani took so much exception to the idea that there could be a deep philosophical/metaphysical connection between Daoism, Buddhism or Zoroastrianism and the Abrahamic religions. In fact, he has said in other interviews with Mishlove that...

Re: Idealism of the Eastern Fathers
Maybe I’ll ask the question a different way, what do you see as the difference between the unicorn I’m thinking of, and the cat I’m looking at? From a thomist perspective, there is this correspondence to truth which he calls “being”. Is this what you call “inflated by god”? As Ashvin said, there is...

Re: Idealism of the Eastern Fathers
Yes I think there is definitely something in that. The unicorn idea probably comes from a rhino, maybe as some kind of unconscious cultural ‘memory’. However the cat has it own experience, and there is also something to it which is consistent to everyone else. I can picture in my head an alien with...

Re: Idealism of the Eastern Fathers
I don't know which it is more like, perhaps the latter. I see it as just a statement of idealism: that all that exists is being thought into existence. Maybe I’ll ask the question a different way, what do you see as the difference between the unicorn I’m thinking of, and the cat I’m looking at? Fro...

Schizophrenia, Sin and the Self (Owen Barfield)
Barfield explores the phenomenon of modern mental illness, such as Schizophrenia, and how it reveals a fundamental alienation of the 'self' from the surrounding world and from the true Self in all of human society, with the Schizophrenics being the ones who are most aware of the alienation. Moderns ...

Re: Consciousness, Civilization and Citizenship
I know what mice are... what or who are they are they representing in this analogy? Am I missing something here? I understood that Santeri and Lou were literally referring to mice and mouse traps, and the ethical consideration of how to keep them from setting up house in an actual house, where they...
