Re: The Nose Dive of Philosophy
I'd agree. The proviso would be that Russell changed nothing, just strengthened the status quo. So you could say Whitehead's ideas were more capable of influencing the future even if they didn't. I feel Russell's value is his rigorous analysis of metaphysical issues and his demonstration that when ...

Re: What does nonduality actually imply?
Hello! First time poster, long time metaphysical journeyer, and exploring the depths of nonduality/ontology/realism. I have a few questions regarding what we can actually know about nonduality. As a preface, I currently see nondualism as a category of belief systems (monism, nihilism, etc) and nond...

Re: Gabor Maté on Jordan Peterson
Hi Peter ... Nice to see you checking in to the new venue. Not sure what you're referring to that JP 'doesn't get', since there are others here who clearly feel that he 'gets' quite a bit. Perhaps you could be more specific. Thanks for the welcome. I meant that JP doesn't 'get' philosophy, mysticis...

Re: Wow! Existence has always existed
Thanks for the reply, yes, I seem forced to agree with that conclusion, but for some reason it produces anxiety in me - I don't feel safe in a world so incomprehensible. It is said that the psychotic drowns in the waters the mystic swims in... rings true to me. I tried reading Kant but found it ver...

Re: The Nose Dive of Philosophy
but it seems to me that modern philosophy has been more influenced by Russell than Whitehead? I'd agree. The proviso would be that Russell changed nothing, just strengthened the status quo. So you could say Whitehead's ideas were more capable of influencing the future even if they didn't. I feel Ru...

Re: Wow! Existence has always existed
I found this article https://www.snsociety.org/wow-existence-has-always-existed/ pretty mind-blowing. It describes facing the very limit of what human brains can conceive of when pondering existence itself. Here are some quotes: At some point, though, the chain of why reaches an end. Why the Big Ba...

Re: Gabor Maté on Jordan Peterson
I would agree with Gabor. What strikes me about Peterson is not what he is saying, but how he is saying it, his psychological and spiritual/energetic state. He speaks about meaning, faith, love and peace, but the spiritual "wavelength" of this message is so toxic, it's full of rage and an...

Re: A hypothetical for Bernardo and for YOU
I find the question impossible. Both seem utterly unlikely to me, although it might depend on exactly how you're defining solipsism.
