Tree of Life and Death and Life

C.I.N.O.
2009-09-16 00:38:00 Although it’s fairly obvious that the varieties of right-wing punditry and congresspeeps likely couldn’t tell a questioner what socialism was, is, I would also suggest that it might be hard for the same to tell what conservatism itself was, is. Of all the photos I’ve seen of members of the not-at-all silent minority, each one expressing ...

Practice Makes Perfect
2009-09-13 16:55:00 Roger told the interviewer, ‘he did practice just such a shot, but it never was successful’ (in practice.) Then, he termed it a perfect shot. Practice : imperfect, imperfect, imperfect, imperfect, imperfect. . . For real: perfect!

He’s a philosophically-minded proponent of the validity of the motive behind the “research” program of Intelligent Design. Also, his work is unintentionally really amusing.

Not Everything Happens (Transformative Anthropology cont.)
2009-08-25 02:28:00 Following from our discussing with a friend my conception of Transformative Anthropology , and its central conception, the decisive yet happenstance contingencies that irrevocably alter the course of one’s life and development, she tweeted a question: How has randomness played a key role in your life? To which a tweet fluttered back: How can randomness exist in a universe where everything is connected? Okay. As I unfold the provisional conceptions given by the phenomenology of necessary contingencies, I wrestle with both randomness and connection. Randomness, event, and connects are joined at the foundation. Yet, this is not a tight join by any means. To peal away what are presumptive aspects of both randomness (or happenstance,) and connection, is to jiggle and then separate the join. The tweet’s import obviously accomplishes this without any qualification. It provides a proposition: Where everything is connected, randomness cannot also exist. Everybody is familiar with ...

Weather Report
2009-08-21 19:00:00 Continuing from the earlier post What the Wind Blows, presenting a schema of Four Orders given as a phenomenological device. (This device captures the diversification of awareness about one’s own behavior–it ranges from the unconscious yet singularly aware First Order, to the conscious and singularly aware Second Order, to the conscious and aware-with-choice Third Order, to the conscious and aware-with-reasons-for-choosing Fourth Order.) This general scheme may be extended to also frame a view of belief about any person’s relationships to the world. And this is extended to, specifically, belief as awareness about the objects (and objectification,) given by social aspects of the world. Â First order - Singular; no articulated belief; (not applicable) Â Second Order - Singular; “This is what I believe!” Third Order - Multiple; “This is what I believe, but, from other perspectives, what I believe looks different.” Fourth Order - Multiple; This...

One of my cousins suggested that we go up to the music festival in Woodstock. This was vetoed by my uncle in explicit terms, ‘It’s no place for a 14 year old.’ He knew something I didn’t know. In truth, I was not a hippie at the time, wasn’t much in tune with the tie-dyed times, and was not anywhere near as motivated as my cousin, a college student. However, noting this reminds me of how much on the cusp I was at the time. By the fall of 1969 I had undergone various initiations and soon was long-haired and full of authority-questioning notions. Etc.. As it turned out, in my new school, several of the seniors and juniors had made the trek to Woodstock. It sounded fun and ... More About: Stardust 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 |
