… Billy Bob you bring forth one of the important questions … How does one know when one is thinking for oneself?
To paraphrase C.S. Peirce … One must begin reasoning where one finds oneself. A suggestion, after all you are all sovereign and free and will keep or toss as you will, to begin with a consideration of the questions raised…[Read more]-
Thanks. Good analogy should keep me thinking for awhile about thinking for myself. Now if I can only find that door.

… Sir Roger’s books are ALL worth a read. You will be rewarded by them, in particular the Emperor’s New Mind, The Large, the Small, and the Human Mind, and Fashion, Faith and Fantasy in the New Physics of the Universe (2016). -

Philosophy is useless, theology is worse
History boils over, there’s an economics freeze
Sociologists invent words that mean “industrial disease”.it is Industrial Disease.

… If true, then the question becomes … If it is given that we know who they are, what they are doing, and how they are doing it, then what do we do with them? Until that question is answered and some solution applied we should stop our whining and complaining because everything will remain the same (or worse).

I don’t know? A part of society is very good at destroying things, excels at them even. It is that other thing “what is it called again” I can’t remember, that is more difficult! (lol – sarcasm)

Is there another species on the planet that kills its own members for entertainment? (And for profit, of course.)

It is a small psychopathic proportion of the population (I don’t even want to include them with the humans) and their profit and power possessed minions that continue, accelerate and amplify the destruction of life. The vast majority of us would prefer peace and the chance to live our lives without harming others. We need to be deceived into…

Good Evening ML,
No intention of being cryptic here. The first reference is to the Nuns of Nonnberg asking the musical question (The Sound of Music) – How do you solve a problem like Maria?
The problem of Thrasymachus? … justice is nothing but the advantage of the stronger. Nemisis is not kind to those who intentionally and habitually…[Read more]-
Ah yes, Dr. Scarmoge. I thought you were referencing Thrasymachusâ ideas on Justice and Injustice. I do think you are on to something with Nemesis coming for those who now enforce âThrasymachian Justiceâ in our current day, or better said, those who now enforce âThrasymachian Social Justiceâ and the imbalance thereof. Though, I canât hel…

… unfortunately, at least for the near future, the question is – to paraphrase the question raised by the nuns at Nonnberg Abbey “How do you solve a problem like Thrasymachus?”A relevant question as it seems Nemesis is at hand.
-
Iâm familiar with Thrasymachus, or at least the little bits that we know of him through Plato. His thoughts on Justice appear quite Darwinian from my perspective. Quite a sophisticated Sophist, I say. Iâm not all that familiar with the Nobel Nuns of Nonnbergâ though the Abbey itself is well knownâ and their proposed question. Though, with yo…

I think I found my quote of the week already … “It puts people at risk of thinking for themselves.” … and followed by this, a close second “Ideas are the worst. People can think them and then spread them through words.” So many great lines in this video from which to chose. đ -
