Philosophical Speculations

This story needs an introduction by Rod Serling. ^_^

Whew, lots to respond to again, and no time before work, but I'll do my best to get to it tonight!

I haven't read Deleuze, but metaphysics of process philosophical Unique - which sort of came from Ayahuasca - is very close to Deleuze (at least based on wiki). I'd love to read more about your Ayahuasca-inspired process philosophy. Have you written it up anywhere? I've been also developing foundat...

All is valuable. Inherently valuable by being unique - each experience, each form, each life story, etc.. 'Being Unique' is another, complementary way of singing in the "single voice" of differentiation, as Deleuze expresses the Spinozan aspect of his philosophy. We are absolutely in agre...

If matter is mind, then matters about matter matter. As a side note, overcoming binaries such as h...

Yes! Also, several hunter-gatherer societies would reshape the land through the controlled use of fire so it would grow food better. In Australia, for instance, European settlers were amazed at how lush the landscape was because they thought it got that way without any human intervention, because t...

Yes it definitely will help, thanks! In fact, I find it very refreshing that you were able to discern those broad philosophical categories from what I posted. Sometimes I feel like I am writing in hieroglyphics here given all the confusion over my arguments with others. And I could definitely disce...
