I forgot Lao Tzu and trAnce

Something there is mysteriously formed,
Existing before Heaven and Earth,
Silent, still, standing alone, unchanging,
All-pervading, unfailing,
I do not know its name; I call it tao.
If forced to give it a name, I call it
Great (ta). Being great, it flows out;
Flowing out means far-reaching;
Being far-reaching, it is said to return.

i was fairly impressed by the writing of Finnis and similar philosophists. i think i read a philosophy peace of Finnis' from ages ago, like 100 years++ or something, where he described the way of life and functioning of society, general philosophy stuff... and the interesting thing was , that when reading it , it seemed to still be in line with the struggles and problems faced by people in modern society. pretty impressive stuff though, how they can just scribe down "the way things are"

also, read "Les Miserables" by Victor Hugo. the original book. best book i've ever read in my life! and i'm a person who generally hates reading. it's on another level to the modern writers of today.


rambling ftw

yeah I might have to look into him, I don't believe I know his writing. I think it is funny when people think someone like that is a psychic though...I think people that predict things are just very deep thinkers. They can foresee changes because of the way they think about things rather than actually having psychic abilities. If you look into Jimi Hendrix he was definitely one of those people.

to be honest its fairly bland unless your interested in it, they write massive novels that might get boring. but theres definitely gold dispersed throughout Finnis' writing.

i don't think it has anything to do with being a psychic or anything like that, hes just a person who has observed the way of life and functioning of society, who understands the mindset of the average person, and has scribed it all down into theories in his books! deep thinkers is the right term for it! it takes a very intelligent person to be able to do that. and not only describe human nature in such a way that it is relevant not only at the time of the book, but in the future as well

My two favorites (of people who I have read/looked into) are
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Georg Cantor

Wittgenstein actually despised the way Cantor's work was interpreted.
They both are completely undervalued tho, imo.

"Cantor states that the connection between immanent and transient reality is founded in the 'unity of the All to which we ourselves belong' " from Cantorian Set theory and limitation of size.

The guy proved proved there are different kinds of infinities.  Pretty trippy stuff.

yeah same here lol. Cantor was also deeply religious though and it is interesting to read the philosophy behind what he thought he was accomplishing (working with infinite sets).

Hmm. A writer I find interesting even though he isn't similar to those two is Stanislav Grof. He did research with psychotherapy and lsd but his book Psychology of the Future is a good read.
