Philosophical Speculations

With that you are most certainly right with all of this. What is starting to make me grumpy is that the more I think about abstraction the less I understand what it is. I think it means "set apart from reality" or whatever wikipedia might have to say on it. Others use the term in a more co...

True enough ... The us-vs-them cult being at the core of all cults, while belonging to it we are our own worse enemies.

I am not sure what you are saying. Do you think you are part of a cult now?

Just came back from doing errands, here is where we can learn what BK means by mind, I will try to find more later.

To all on this board: For the most part I have enjoyed my stay here, but at this point I need to move on. My original purpose here was to discuss Kastrup, who really no longer interests me. If his recent actions to evade opposition haven’t convinced you he is a fraud in search of a cult following, ...

I am hoping to be posting in the proper category. BK and others have said that whatever is not in mind/perception/feeling is necessarily abstract. I agree to this, but I am wondering if I can be 100 percent sure, I feel like 90 percent sure only. Especially since this would take materialism of the t...

Bernardo just posted his twitter-message on his FB as well. He thinks that a forum with different opinions could confuse his readers, as if readers dont know what a forum is. Strange one.

Years ago I checked out Sam Harris forum it is huge. Leo Gura has one too. It is an asset provided to those who follow certain people. Do you guys really think "no time" is an excuse or that a forum like this exists not only so that BK can read you but is obligated to so so?
