Re: Another recent BK interview
No, you will be disappointed as ever with BK's spin on it, which is as pessimistic, and at times cynical, as ever about humankind's prospects. Towards the end, multiple times he restates that humans are not much better than highly intellectual monkeys, yet still slaves to our base instincts, with l...

Re: Another recent BK interview
I'm really asking. Maybe it's in this interview I haven't watched yet. Maybe someone can show me what BK is saying beyond, "it's all mind and meaning". Jung certainly took it further than that. I think we are fortunate he didn't pursue analytic philosophy above psychology. The latter stil...

Re: Another recent BK interview
Good interview. This quote is noteworthy, considering the discussions whether BK is drifting into nihilistic territory or not. So Jung basically was saying "Nature works as a mind. It's performing cognitive associations. Some of those express themselves in the form we call causuality but if you...

Re: I feel like Bernardo is getting carried away in a scary direction
Robert Pirsig & His Metaphysics of QualityDo you know any - if possible, contemporary - philosopher (other than Steiner), who has a similar idealistic framework, but whose ultimate conclusion is not "nothing is true, everything is permitted"?

Re: What is the phenomenilogy of non-metacognitive consciousness in Bernardo's model?
Also, in physics, the present is not a singulartiy. It stops at ~10^-35s (Planck Time) (so infinitesimal is a good word) . Not wthe same type of present that Scott is talking about but at least it's not a paradoxal singularity, just very very short...

Re: What is the phenomenilogy of non-metacognitive consciousness in Bernardo's model?
This is how I see Bernardos model: * There is MAL * Mal is consciosness (NOT metaconsciousness) * There is only the present * There is dissociation in MAL - see it as some more-or-less isolated region in some MAL-space. (not spatial) * Dissociacion is a necessary requirement for metacognition * Meta...

Re: Steiner's anarchism
As inAs for Jordan Peterson, had it not been for your frequent extolling of him, I probably would have picked up a copy of PoF long ago
* Jordan Peterson is Bad.
* Ashvin likes Jordan Peterson
* Ashvin likes PoF
Therefore Pof is Bad.
?
yeh, that's logical.

Re: Rudolf Steiner: Vaccines to Kill The Soul?!
Having watched the video posted by Shu, I'd phrase the core challenge in the following way:
What Machines facilitate the expression of the Wild, and What Machines suppress it? It's not a war. It's a dance, which can be more or less harmonious depending on how good we are at it.
