Excellent point. Agreed.

When skills converge (subject matter expertise and teaching in this case) reduces the amount of individuals excelling in them. I also find that selecting the right university is also important.

Me too. ❤. She is Great.

@@enlightenedanalysis1071 Ms Hobbs is a genius. She is smarter than most of us and she is also focused on a specific art. That is why is she is a professor. We are being taught whatever by civil servants in our schools. But only universities have real tutors.

Agreed 100%! You can hear the passion for the subject matter exuding. This is the secret sauce to a great teacher and she demonstrates it in spades. Bravo!!

If all changed randomly, you would be even more irrational than now. Youre trying to get high without having to pay. Wherever you go, there you are. Existence is identity.

@Tony We are amused. But did you know that he said you can and cannot step into the same river twice.

If we could “understand” being and individuality then there would be no more need for moralising or politics. We would act according to the logos. With that forgotten all that’s left is talk of politics. Heraclitus was a true poet, and his exquisite words will echo in the caverns of the bosom as long as “heart and brain have faculty by nature to subsist”.

@@garymelnyk7910Yes, you are right if you understand logos as meaning argument from reason like Aristotle. But Heraclitus understood the word Logos differently . The Stoics take from Heraclitus the concept of logos, to which they attribute the meaning of world law: Logos is the inevitable destiny of the world.So what is important is the meaning we give to the word LOGOS.🙂

@@norbertsarkozy I try not to give any meaning to the word. I sit patiently waiting for the word to give of it’s own meaning, believing (as I have seen written by others) that “the logos that can be named is not the eternal logos”. In this case it is greater to receive than to give.

One of the greatest disasters ever happened in human history, switching from Pre-socratics to Socrates. It changed the nature and understanding of Philosophy and opened the way to Christianity which enslaved REASON/LOGOS for hundreds of years and murdered Greek Ratioanilism.

The Yaminahau shamans use a metaphorical logic in the language they use to talk to the spirits. It's called 'tsai yoshtoyoshto' which means 'language -twisting-twisting'. A twisted-language that only they use. I suppose it could just be a conclusion of poststructral anthropologists though...

@@divertissementmonas I see...interesting to know about the 'twisted' language of the shamans. The Yorubas in Africa have a trickster monkey in their symbology/ cosmology, whose language is 'double voiced'. Henry Louis Gates, Jr., uses the trope of the 'signifying monkey' to establish the double voicedness in the Black use of the English language.

@@SreematiMukherjee That is a good example of acculturation.

>poststructuralist position that language fails to yield a final meaning. “Like a spoiled, disillusioned child, who had expected predigested capsules of automatic knowledge, a logical positivist stamps his foot at reality and cries that context, integration, mental effort and first-hand inquiry are too much to expect of him, that he rejects so demanding a method of cognition, and that he will manufacture his own “constructs” from now on. (This amounts, in effect, to the declaration: “Since the intrinsic has failed us, “the subjective is our only alternative.”) The joke is on his listeners: it is this exponent of a primordial mystic’s craving for an effortless, rigid, automatic omniscience that modern men take for an advocate of a free-flowing, dynamic, progressive science.” Ayn Rand, "Intro. To Objectivist Epistemology.”

Metaphysics consists of a thousand different ways to empty the world of meaning. Far more difficult, perhaps impossible, is to add meaning to the world. Immutable structures, like math and logic, are discoverable, to be sure. But, they provide a map of true relations the teleology of which is inscrutable. Empirical science, being founded upon inductive reasoning, is not demonstrably immutable, howsoever useful for contingent human purposes. Metaphysics makes the grandest claims for itself, but offers only childish unveilings of the kenoma and the poetry of pure speculation.

Truly most grateful am I for your pithy opinion on the merits of Parmenides’ and Heraclitus’ epistles 😳

❤I've just made a new friend 😊

Well, everything exists.

Exactly! David J Barrow (RIP) from Cambridge University made an incredible statement: “A universe simple enough to be understood could not have created a mind capable of understanding it.” Too many people think that they know! But as Emily Dickinson said: “But what of that?”

it's Heraclitus 's divine fire

Her hair is so beautiful

Despite how he rejects the logos?

He does have a sort of postmodernist approach of focusing on the unique identity of each thing rather than the unity of their components

It is a Christian thing and I really don't confine myself.

Uniqueness can only be defined by time a space.

And both are arbitrary.

Is that an actual question or a symptom? No matter how you answer I will ask why? Will that be an actual question or just a symptom?

@@davidthurman3963 The Solution asks all questions.

A meaningful goal. Any pointers?

How can you help a dumb bunny moron who wont help himself? Value is not a mystical or social mystical revelation. It is action that furthers conditional life. And, for man, that requires a focused mind. Dumb bunnies have no mind, unfocused or not. Communism is a blood-drenched failure. You need to accept the risk of independent judgment and failure. And, then, as Frank Sinatra sings, "...when my chin is on the ground, I pick myself up, dust myself off, and start all over again." A society of dumb bunnies will become a bunny coat for fascists.

I think the point is, that experience is differentiated but similar

She talks like she is telling a horror story. Dopey for dopey people. Dagobert D. Runes translates that quote as: "Who rises in the same stream will always struggle with fresh waters." And he says,"this observation makes too little precise sense for us to attach much importance to it." Runes is pretty hard on the old-timers. "Vague speculations, grounded in superstition...often destructive influence on the minds of future generations."
