Philosophical Speculations

As you're probably aware, BK recently shared that interview on twitter and facebook. It may be more likely he's paying attention to commentary there than following youtube comments. Of course, hard to convey your message, if having to resort to a series of tweets. Btw, did you watch the interview w...

Ashvin, No I haven't bailed :) I've been reading all the comments on here while continuing with PoF. I'm trying to really understand PoF by taking notes and re-reading sometimes entire chapters.

... Great stuff, Ashvin! I quite enjoyed your treating of the Self and the attractor metaphor. I think we can safely bookmark this essay and simply link to it next time something about the self or formlessness comes up. The part about science urges me to get to work and finish the Schrodinger essay...

You are busy with work for 2 weeks and when you come back there's 10 new pages of essay-lenght comments to read in your thread :lol: Ooops... sorry... +1 essay-length comment above :D I may need to speculate some more to inspire 10 more pages ;) Amazing content to contemplate, thank you! ...
