Yesterday I (1) summarized the Markdown code, (2) I wrote a diary entry (essentially worked out that a problem was not), and (3) wrote up the basics towards a strategy for looking after myself. Media/Website/Product: Adagio Teas. Media/Poem via E2. Media/Picture of Snowden via DA. Media/Website/Products: CSYCB. Adagio Teas Meta: In the following paragraph (and repeatedly below) I’m testing...
On these days, I ask myself what I’ve learned, and often that prompts me to write. Sometimes it’s lessons. Lessons like, “Don’t think (often) about what other people are thinking,” I believe such lessons help me grow. Growth means clarity of experience, a loosening of bonds, and a dispersal of questionable cargo. As I expand, I want to incorporate into my reality a...
Meta1: Look at yesterday and realize that I seriously need to revise my ability to use whatever code {fyi: markdown} this site uses for formatting! Meta2: Amongst the (potential) benefits of using a contents page, as introduced yesterday, is that it allows for easy copying and/or revision, and/or allowing partial-continuity and/or reference. Markdown. Diary; or, Dealing with a non-problem...
Meta: Idea: Have a list of contents at the top of each date. Each listing to be the text of a heading, or if not then at least some form of anchoring as repeated in the body. I follow now with an exemplar instance of this idea: NOTES on my reading of KANT’s Prolegomena. Dear DIARY. SCIENCE or JOURNAL CLUB on studying NEURONAL COMPLEXITY. Meta: The (mere) fact that I have more to write about...
Editorial notes: The article begins with a comparison between the ‘self’ and the ‘soul’. The ‘self’ is a term usually used in psychological dissertations and is the subject of several developmental theories. The ‘soul’, however, is a theological/philosophical term that is not subjected to the same pattern of developmental changes. As far as the ‘positivist identifier” and ‘legalistic in its...
…you only fall from the point you allow yourself to sink. (Despite the phantom essay that had been unfolding in the back shadows of my mind, now that I’ve written that down, it seems like enough. Now I feel wrong for mocking god. Maybe it (seemed like it) was enough?) Let me add just the slightest of content, by adding some of the obvious: I’ve reason to believe this true. I...
Editorial notes: The Evernote journal entry written on this day contains material (see the second paragraph in the post below) that is fundamental and pivotal to understanding Shai’s life philosophy. I decided to deviate from one of my editorial principles and highlighted it for ease of reading. While the point has been raised in the ‘Editorial notes’ elsewhere, the core of...
Prelude: I call this post “Part one”, not because I have a second or extra content intended to complement this one. But rather to acknowledge the overwhelming observation that what I have achieved here is but a very basic introduction to the question. And so: There’s a switch I can sometimes feel for, somewhere in my mind. It’s just a single button. Nothing fancier than...
The last thing I wrote on Kant, was last month, and was: (2) Categories are ultimately derived from the laws of logic and that is an element in what proves their veracity. (2.1.) The task to identify the underlying grammar and vocabulary of language, is a phenomenon comparable to that of identifying the concepts that underly experience (S39). [This analogy makes it easier to swallow the...
……………..awkward silences are (normally) invisible on the written page, but they still exist (an idealist would retort – who too would disappear but for the merciful hand of the author), they exist in the breaths taken while the keyboard falls silent. By that definition, they are the most invisible function of writing. The anti-thesis to writing. A black hole? It...
