Nope, I can only stomach so much of the teknix show before I change the channel. Synopsis?
-------------------- Everything is better than it was the last time. I'm good. If we could look into each others hearts, and understand the unique challenges each of us faces, I think we would treat each other much more gently, with more love, patience, tolerance, and care. It takes a lot of courage to go out there and radiate your essence. I know you scared, you should ask us if we scared too. If you was there, and we just knew you cared too.

My guess is the dude has a hard on for Spinoza and is making a half assed attempt at emulating axioms of symbolic logic under the guise of semantic gymnastics.

Meh, someone might get it. 
Never read Spinoza, but I have heard of him in reference to "Spinoza's God".
Maybe I'll look into it. ^.^

Well, I guess I agree and disagree with Spinoza's philosophy at a glance, I agree in part that we are only different from nature in thought and in constructing an internal Idea of self. On the other hand I think there is Free-will and maybe had Spinoza been alive to see QM manifest he would have changed his mind about that?

But yeah, I think you get the idea Cosmic.

Pretension is what captures the interest of the players rather than the audience, especially those with their own idea of self to protect. It makes the contenders feel a need to defend that Idea / Identity. (Because they think it's them.)

I meant Spinoza's rhetorical style, he'd rattle off a bunch of propositions which he believed were self evidently true to make his case, like:
Everything which exists, exists either in itself or in something else.
That which cannot be conceived through anything else must be conceived through itself.
From a given definite cause an effect necessarily follows; and, on the other hand, if no definite cause be granted, it is impossible that an effect can follow.
The knowledge of an effect depends on and involves the knowledge of a cause.
Things which have nothing in common cannot be understood, the one by means of the other; the conception of one does not involve the conception of the other.
A true idea must correspond with its ideate or object.
If a thing can be conceived as non-existing its essence does not involve existence.
-------------------- Everything is better than it was the last time. I'm good. If we could look into each others hearts, and understand the unique challenges each of us faces, I think we would treat each other much more gently, with more love, patience, tolerance, and care.

I don't think Spinoza had enough to work with, and I honestly don't see the problem with stating a priori and let others try to see the self-evidence or not, for it is something only that person can do and trying to do it for them defeats the purpose. It is very similar to the way Buddhist use Koans, a puzzle to entice the mind along a specific train of thought if it chooses to peer into the rabbit hole.

teknix said: To own requires an object to be owned and an owner of that object.
In nature one object doesn't own another object, therefore ownership is not natural.
Atoms do not own one another, and if you think to own anything you are not a part of nature, but an idea that you made up to separate from nature.
Nature does not have an owner in reality, ownership can only be in a dualistic theory.
Therefore if you think you are something separate to own parts of nature that owner cannot be nature for nature could not own itself.
Everything we create is not natural, just because we are created naturally. (usually)
I don't think you have much to work with either. It's all symbol hypnosis that has no referent to anything real.
-------------------- Everything is better than it was the last time. I'm good. If we could look into each others hearts, and understand the unique challenges each of us faces, I think we would treat each other much more gently, with more love, patience, tolerance, and care. It takes a lot of courage to go out there and radiate your essence. I know you scared, you should ask us if we scared too. If you was there, and we just knew you cared too.

Ownership is a symbol without a referent, I agree, but where do you get the hypnosis from?

I withdrew from that thread every early, but checked in periodically.
Talking with that kid (the OP) reminds me of playing "Whack-a-Mole." Or more to the point, trying to have a discussion with the old program, Eliza.
He's incapable of admitting that he's wrong, or that the other person even has a point.
I don't think he's so much dishonest as he is insane and in serious need of help.
But either way, I put him on ignore yesterday. I hated doing that, he is the first, an hopefully, the last I've had to do that with.
I've been on the 'net dealing with trolls for 20 years; the only one I've run into as bad or worse than the OP was a kid in Maryland on the Anarchy list-serve in '93, who has gone on to be a major PITA for the white supremacists.
Poetic justice, how sweet it is! I won't use his name in the open, because, like the OP, he's desperate for recognition and cares not if it's good or bad, just as long as his name appears.
This kid isn't that evil, but he is seriously mentally unhinged.

This kind of crap is against the forum rules for good reason. Not only do I completely disagree with your assessment of his personal nature, but I find your motives for posting this questionable. What was your intention in the way you've formulated these words? What were you setting out to accomplish, and what does that say about your personal nature?

Leave the personalisms out of PS&P - attack the idea not the poster. Whether Icelander is insane or not doesn't have any bearing on his argument. You have been around PS&P long enough to know this..

Talking with that kid (the OP) reminds me of playing "Whack-a-Mole." Or more to the point, trying to have a discussion with the old program, Eliza.
He's incapable of admitting that he's wrong, or that the other person even has a point.
I don't think he's so much dishonest as he is insane and in serious need of help.
But either way, I put him on ignore yesterday. I hated doing that, he is the first, an hopefully, the last I've had to do that with.
I've been on the 'net dealing with trolls for 20 years; the only one I've run into as bad or worse than the OP was a kid in Maryland on the Anarchy list-serve in '93, who has gone on to be a major PITA for the white supremacists.
Poetic justice, how sweet it is! I won't use his name in the open, because, like the OP, he's desperate for recognition and cares not if it's good or bad, just as long as his name appears.
This kid isn't that evil, but he is seriously mentally unhinged.

Hey he wasn't talking about me. You're mean.

You missed a word while formulating that sentence, but I helped you out. It makes much more sense now.

Your comments on my post are accurate and correct. I was definitely out of line, and earned the verbal opprobrium.
They are a clear indication that I need to work on my both my attitude to those who annoy me, and my self-control.

You are correct on all counts. My comments were beneath me, and I am ashamed for my misbehavior.
I apologize to the OP and to the members who were offended by my inappropriate comments. And I appreciate the warning and not being banned.

CosmicJoke said: I meant Spinoza's rhetorical style, he'd rattle off a bunch of propositions which he believed were self evidently true to make his case, like:
Everything which exists, exists either in itself or in something else.
That which cannot be conceived through anything else must be conceived through itself.
From a given definite cause an effect necessarily follows; and, on the other hand, if no definite cause be granted, it is impossible that an effect can follow.
The knowledge of an effect depends on and involves the knowledge of a cause.
Things which have nothing in common cannot be understood, the one by means of the other; the conception of one does not involve the conception of the other.
A true idea must correspond with its ideate or object.
If a thing can be conceived as non-existing its essence does not involve existence.
This reminds me of one of the "Profound Revelations" that was mentioned in connection with being stoned from a 1970 album entitled 'A Child's Garden of Grass: A Pre-Legalization Comedy.' To wit: "Pickles are the ONLY thing you can make with cucumbers!"
Poor Spinoza, a lens-grinder who eventually dies from years of inhaled glass dust, forced to convert from Judaism to Catholicism, changing his name from Baruch to Benedict in the process. On top of all that, he comes up with infinite varieties of essences, which is no better than positing just one substance, confusing me even as I type.

Why don't you change the theme? Making it religious weaken this history, it's junk IMO. Using person A in regards to case X & Z is way more including when communicating.
