Hierarchy of Thought
2008-04-19 17:08:00 The order of human thought: Nothingness Something rather than nothing (this is where religion may play a part) Meta-philosophy Logic/language, Epistemology (these can be considered one big set) ? Basic principles Philosophy of science Science Physics Chemistry Biology (includes anthropology) Psychology Ethics Politics and sociology Etc. More About: Thought
Aphorisms
2008-04-19 17:05:00 The only failure is the failure to try. Impossible is nothing because it?s impossible. The existence of hierarchy in intellectual systems does not imply hierarchy is necessary in human political or social systems. Philosophy both contains and controls all human thought.
I Want
2008-04-19 17:01:00 I want to fly. I want to live. I want to be. I want to be me. I want to identify. I want to learn. I want to burn with longing. I want to yearn with pathos. I want to exist beyond myself. I want to exist within myself. I want to go. I want to explore. I want to see. I want to know. I want to learn. I ... More About: Poetry
My First Salvia Trip
2008-04-19 16:58:00 29/01/2008 Yesterday my friend and I tried salvia divinorum. We had been aiming to try it for a few weeks but always ran into some bad luck trying to get it. I had done a lot of reading on the drug and was looking forward to the experience. So yesterday we got hold of 1g of ... More About: Drugs , Trip , Salvia
Waking Life: Steve Fitch - Possibility
2008-04-19 16:16:00 Steve Fitch : Our critique began as all critiques begin: with doubt. Doubt became our narrative. Ours was a quest for a new story, our own. And we grasped toward this new history driven by the suspicion that ordinary language couldn’t tell it. Our past appeared frozen in the distance, and our every gesture and accent ...

Aldous Huxley - The Doors of Perception
2008-04-19 15:12:00 ALDOUS HUXLEY THE DOORS OF PERCEPTION It was in 1886 that the German pharmacologist, Louis Lewin, published the first systematic study of the cactus, to which his own name was subsequently given. Anhalonium lewinii was new to science. To primitive religion and the Indians of Mexico and the American Southwest it was a friend of immemorially long standing. Indeed, it was much ...

Waking Life: Lisa Moore and Carole Dawson - Change and Self
2008-04-19 15:03:00 English professor Lisa Moore and author Carole Dawson : Time just dissolves into quick-moving particles that are swirling away. Either I’m moving fast or time is. Never both simultaneously. It’s such a strange paradox. I mean, while, technically, I’m closer to the end of my life than I’ve ever been, I actually feel more than ever that I ...

The Right to Life
2008-04-19 14:46:00 For me it is a powerful instinctual belief to think that we must have some type of morality operating at all times. I sometimes wonder where this belief comes from, biology, culture, or the will? Isn’t it interesting that in these types of discussion the will is not often mentioned? I still do not know ...

Progress and Hope
2008-04-17 19:12:00 What is progress? Perhaps it is spiritual rather than material. Who said progress had to travel on a one-way, easterly direction? If progress is the increase in general well-being of a single person (includes positive enjoyment and negative suffering), then this is our most useful tool to discuss society or the human race as a ...

Waking Life: Otto Hofmann - Yes
2008-04-17 18:18:00 Otto Hofmann: The quest is to be liberated from the negative, which is really our own will to nothingness. And once having said yes to the instant, the affirmation is contagious. It bursts into a chain of affirmations that knows no limit. To say yes to one instant is to say yes to all of ... More About: Philosophy , Life
The Ultraworld Manifesto
2008-04-17 17:45:00 We are so much the victims of abstraction that with the Earth in flames we can barely rouse ourselves to wander across the room and look at the thermostat. Terence Mckenna. The earth is on fire. Or is it, as the god of the Jews would vouch for, permanently and necessarily on fire. Must we fix the ... More About: Philosophy , Manifesto
Waking Life: Alex Jones - I want freedom
2008-04-17 16:57:00 Alex Jones : You can’t fight city hall, death and taxes. Don’t talk about politics or religion. This is all the equivalent of enemy propaganda rolling across the picket line. “Lay down, G.I. Lay down, G.I.” We saw it all through the 20th Century. And now in the 21st Century, it’s time to stand up and ... More About: Freedom , Life , World Politics , Alex
First LSD Trip Report
2008-04-17 15:41:00 The other day I took approximately one and a third tabs of acid at a friend?s place. It was the first time I have tried LSD. I had had two coffees before the tab and a cigarillo while it was under my tongue. I believe this caused the only major negative effect of the trip: ... More About: Drugs , Report , Trip
Psychedelic Cannabis
2008-04-17 09:14:00 This is something I wrote in 2006 after having a very strange experience with weed: It was the night of the 29th of December, a Saturday. I was staying at my cousin Rob?s place, and had been for the previous day also. Nothing odd going on really, though we had smoked some cannabis the previous night, ...

Waking Life: David Sosa - The seemingly insurmountable problem of free will
2008-04-14 21:00:00 University of Texas at Austin philosophy professor David Sosa: In a way, in our contemporary world view, it’s easy to think that science has come to take the place of God. But some philosophical problems remain as troubling as ever. Take the problem of free will. This problem has been around for a long time, since ... More About: Philosophy , Life , Free , Psychology
Peter Goodspeed, National Post: Food crisis being felt around world
2008-04-14 14:28:00 Now is the time for extensive research into food-elimination strategies. It is as clear as day that markets are not an effective way of providing the world with inexpensive necessities. http://www.nationalpost.com/news/story.ht ml?id=412984 Sharply rising prices have triggered food riots in recent weeks in Mexico, Morocco, Senegal, Uzbekistan, Guinea, Mauritania and Yemen, and aid agencies around the world worry ...

An Anarchist Future
2008-04-10 12:33:00 It is a terribly sad image. Most people?s lives, even the so called privileged one?s, are unbelievably cyclical. Each hour is like each other hour; the only major differences are being awake or not being awake. Each day is like each other day. Waking up, having a shower, having a shave, having breakfast, going to ... More About: Future

Waking Life: J. C. Shakespeare - Vicarious
2008-04-09 16:33:00 J. C. Shakespeare : A self-destructive man feels completely alienated, utterly alone. He’s an outsider to the human community. He thinks to himself, “I must be insane.” What he fails to realize is that society has, just as he does, a vested interest in considerable losses and catastrophes. These wars, famines, floods and quakes meet well-defined ... More About: Philosophy , Life
Nature is Alive
2008-04-09 16:12:00 Nature is alive. There is no doubt about that. In fact the matter seems almost trivial, almost tautological. It?s something. It?s scary. It?s a real entity; an entity known as ?the other?. The reason we naively doubt this is for exactly that reason: it is the other, it is as alien as it is familiar. ...

Within five minutes of the injection he collapsed to the ground and one hour and forty minutes later he died. It is believed that the LSD was the cause of his death, although some speculate that the drugs the researchers ... More About: Brother

2008-04-05 17:41:00 Here’s one of my favourite songs at the moment. It’s funny; I used to be kind of against rap, I thought it was very shallow and I didn’t like it’s arrogant attitude.

Essay on the Images in King Lear
2008-04-05 13:44:00 This is an essay I wrote in high school. William Shakespeare?s King Lear contains various aspects of imagery, which affect character development and themes. Appearance versus reality, sight versus blindness and the ?Chain of Being? are all themes that images convey in the play. Images are often cloaked in similes and metaphors, for example, animal, storm ... More About: Essay

He would be gobsmacked, but he would make us laugh harder than ever. That’s for sure. You are greatly missed, Bill. The ... More About: Philosophy , Ride , Futurism
