A Philosophy of Mind

Is the mind the same as the body? What is consciousness? Can machines have it?

Some people say my writing requires the reader to apply their throbbing brain cell when coming face-to-face with a Hegelian.... ah, Courage Mon Brave!


Now the tragic poet is an imitator and like all other imitators is three times removed from truth. For example the poet speaks of shoemaking, or military tactics, or of anything else, is mere rhetoric, a concave becomes convex, owing to the illusion to which sight is liable.

The weakness of the human mind on which the art of conjuring up and of deceiving by light and shadow and other ingenious devices imposes, having an effect upon us like magic. Rhetoric is the art enchanting the different human minds there are so many and such individuals. A rhetorician must have a good idea of words able to speak, teach, and write them.
Writing is mere impressions an attitude only and if writing were asked question there words is solemnly silent. Words once written down tumble about anywhere among those who may or may not understand them are maltreated, abused, and have no parent to protect them; nor can they protect or defend themselves.

The weak of mind and of spirit, often put on this act of aloofness, imitating those caricatures of sophistry while their views are founded no the churning depths of a wanton being, seeking no truth but the truth that will come ready-made with comforting words and flattering announcements.

Of course the ancient Hellenes knew the value of rhetoric as a brilliant mind remains silent without the tools to express his mind, and so they taught it to students eager to learn the art of mental manipulation and self expression.
Manipulation being another term for power, for the weak is seduced, used, coerced, convinced, dominated by the more powerful.

But this turd only reads the words and does not delve deeper into the meanings, because ti fears, if it is unable to understand and makes excuses, that along with the judgments concerning it the power of the judgments concerning the topic may force it into a corner and so into a position of dismissing it all as mere wordplay.

A philosopher is truly interested in reality, truth being a position concerning it and nothing more, but only a naive moron pretending to be interested in reality would expect reality to be anything but challenging and indifferent and cold and often vicious and cruel, from the perspective of a living organism.

Only a vacuous imbecile thinks the only way to deal with the world is to alter one's perspective and only a retard can't see the undercurrents of self-annulment his feel-good ideals contain.

Finally civility is not a sign of cultivation, as even a chimp can be trained to use a fork, shit in the toilet and bow I the company of women.

Most of the time the competence of civility hides a repressed spirit.

Come visualize mind from the standpoint of dialectic knowledge the constructive deductive rational way of observing life’s definite unchanging scheme.

Of course the ancient Hellenes knew the value of rhetoric as a brilliant mind remains silent without the tools to express his mind, and so they taught it to students eager to learn the art of mental manipulation and self expression. I am fascinated with truth forever directed towards things that are all in order moving. That is why I write, in order to draw my mind toward knowledge and truth, which is what reason means.

Manipulation being another term for power, for the weak is seduced, used, coerced, convinced, dominated by the more powerful. For over thirty years I have been trying to master what is truth thinking it would make me wiser. Gradually I accustomed myself to knowledge more accurate and distinct. Truth reveals the course of reason. What is truth but assurance of being declares not just belief of self but reason. Pure inner self, is the ego in other words, self in and for self.

But this turd only reads the words and does not delve deeper into the meanings, because ti fears, if it is unable to understand and makes excuses, that along with the judgments concerning it the power of the judgments concerning the topic may force it into a corner and so into a position of dismissing it all as mere wordplay. Reason is all reality in the sense of the abstract self perceives what is destined and what is supposed. That is at the same time the very principle of idealism; reason is idealism. Reason has a twofold nature in sheer opposition. The idea of reason to be idealism but in truth reason is intended to be a search, which in its very process of seeking declares that it is absolutely impossible to have the satisfaction of finding all truth.

A philosopher is truly interested in reality, truth being a position concerning it and nothing more, but only a naive moron pretending to be interested in reality would expect reality to be anything but challenging and indifferent and cold and often vicious and cruel, from the perspective of a living organism. What is great and what is small arises when there is some contradiction involves the conception of plurality but the mind rightly educated will recognize and salute noble and good, reason.

No just person can be unjust any more than heat can produce cold. Justice is a thing more precious than pieces of gold it is perfection there is nothing else. Justice clearly is the wiser and better virtue, whereas injustice creates division and hate and fighting

Retard, you engaged me with the usual crap, and i respond in kind.

I've seen all of your kind and its mutiple methods of avoiding some uncomfortable truths about life and being human, so it's only a matter of time before this little charade falls apart and there you are another imbecile just trying to escape.
Snake-eyes wrote:And your supposed ''ecceptence'' of this state of ego, need and rejection, is NOT an attempt to nihilistically escape suffering?
I stated that I am not egotistical?
Where, fag?
Fagot, I am all ego; I embrace it.
Fag I am need manifest; I embrace it.

Imbecile, it is those fags, like you and your kind, that deny fear or cast it as the enemy they are "overcoming" who are the most vulnerable to fear, as it reeks behind your every opinion.
Retard, how does one cotnrol what one denies is there, or simply "changes perspective" pretending that he has gone beyond it?
Snake-eyes wrote: The paradox is unavoidable, yours is just another indirect and ironic method of taking the edge off of life's sting....
Oh you poor fag, what methods you now find to comfort yourself by lowering me to your level.

Where have I said that suffering should or could be avoided?
Bitch, a weight lifter lifts 100 lbs and feels minimal stress....he feels comfortable because he has experienced this stress numerous times before and is used to it.
Then you have a weakling, making excuses for being in the girly-section, lifting 10 lbs and making it seem like a ton...for this weak fuck anything over 50 lbs would be excruciating and anyone telling him that he must habituate himself with weight to learn to endure it, to tolerate, would seem like a demon from hell.

Instead this fag would make excuses like: "Being weak is a virtue." "Strength is an illusion." "We are all equally strong." "We are all equally weak when compared to the omnipotence of God or the Universe or the Ideal Man."

Retard, where have I denied self?

Let me give you a metaphor:

Retard, one is in the jungle, faced with unknown dangers and full of uncertainty....

One either cowers under a tree hoping nothing will eat it, because gosh-darn it, it is a life and valuable, and holy.... or one invents spirits or a God that has to protect it if it shows the 'right' reverence to the 'right' deity in the 'right' manner.... or one tells itself that it is one with the forest and so its own death will fertilize the tree it lies under, and finding eternal existence as a nutrient... or one finds others of its own kind and bonds with them under a common fear, calling this bondage holy or a spiritual growth or an awakening to a grater Self, a communal identity....or one denies it is afraid at all....or one faces the jungle and either perishes or thrives, as it was meant to be, but never excusing itself from reality just to gain an advantage it cannot on its own and soothing itself by finding cowards to spin cowardice into a virtue.


Now if you like getting it up the asshole, bitch, then go on and enjoy yourself, but do not for one minute think that it some trivial part of who you are or that there is no power at play.
Shit bitch, fuck a donkey, suck a giraffe, take a golden shower, finger a stiff, find sexual pleasure in rape or murder or in passivity and submission, it's all good bitch...because the fantasy, the sexual deviation from the original of procreation, exposes you.

If you dare, tell us, honestly, about a sexual fantasy of yours, and let me peer inot that cavernous skull of yours, before you dismiss me as juvenile.

Come on, do it.

I bet you don't dare, sweetheart, and all you'll do is offer some humorous or sarcastic dismissal or a fake fantasy because you would not dare...not with someone like me, bitch.
I would tear you to pieces.

Go off with your homo friends and tell yourselves how ahead of your time you all are, taking it up the ass, because you've overcome old, primal, sexual hangups, representing the coming of a new age...when you cannot live-up toy our own ideals by allowing your children to suck-off a man, or you feel disgusted at the thuoght of certain sexual practices, not even daring to express how your judgment is affected by such knowledge.

Hypocrites to the bone.

Bitch, if race does not matter, then how do species evolve.
If intelligence is a trait that is uniformly distributed in potential, then how does it evolve at all and why?

If color does not matter, then why does form, smell, touch, sound...and if it just doesn't matter with humans - how convenient - then why does it matter in any other context?

Bitch, if gender is a cultural construct, and not an adaptation of sexual roles to cultural contexts, then why and how does it evolve, when culture comes after heterosexuality emerges as a reproductive method?

Bitch, if life is sacred, then why does life feed on itself and why is it unfulfilled?
If only human life is sacred, then justify it.

Bitch, if multiplicity is an illusion, then why the games and for what reason, when all is determined and the outcome is always ONE? Like having an equation that equals ONE - as a prerequisite presumption - and trying to justify it with intricate bullshit. Reverse reasoning.

I will answer both of these simultany... th... th... th... simultany... th... th... th... simultany... th... th... th... at the same time.

Firstly, the weak of mind and of spirit, often put on this act of aloofness, imitating those caricatures of sophistry while their views are founded no the churning depths of a wanton being, seeking no truth but the truth that will come ready-made with comforting words and flattering announcements.

Fifthly, but this turd only reads the words and does not delve deeper into the meanings, because ti fears, if it is unable to understand and makes excuses, that along with the judgments concerning it the power of the judgments concerning the topic may force it into a corner and so into a position of dismissing it all as mere wordplay.

Really finally, most of the time the competence of civility hides a repressed spirit. What is great and what is small arises when there is some contradiction involves the conception of plurality but the mind rightly educated will recognize and salute noble and good, reason.

Tyrants have irrational unnecessary pleasures and insatiable desires. A shameful sort of people, they come from having a cheap and hateful father that causes them to live a lawless life. They are lords over idleness and greed Socrates called them a sort of monstrous winged drone let loose buzzing around;

Love is their master of the house within unnecessary pleasures and insatiable desires and every day and every night their desire demanded. In a tyrannical state justice can hardly be seen because tyranny brakes crushes damages it, and makes it undefined like some troll.

Even happens to good people when thought is asleep, and tyranny wakes gets up moseys about without any shame; and acts foolish.

The tyrant exposed is the cure for them. Their tyranny needs to be approached so that a gentler element is freed; and temperance, justice, and wisdom reappear.

Look at the city within you and pay attention that no disorder occurs such as overabundance or want.

Injustice puts an end to our better principles it has no shame breaks out into a frenzy whining.

They are the same way old love has been called tyrant; or also a drunk has the spirit of a tyrant. They fancy that they are able to rule others when they cannot rule themselves. Don’t be panicked don’t be overwhelmed by the pompous tyrant. Let’s be clear know the best of them are mean, rude and miserable.

The principle of happiness is doing your own work in the best noble way you receive happiness which nature assigns to you. When, under the pressure either of poverty or wealth they both grow more and more indolent and careless. Wealth and poverty; one is the close relative of luxury and laziness, and the later is unkind and mean, both are discontented.

The 'tyrant, you dumb bitch, is not I, no matter how much you wish to personify your weakness by projecting an image to represent it - I am but the messenger you dumb **** - the challenge is existence itself, life, reality, you stupid bitch.

Now all you can do is attack the messenger because the message lies beyond your 'rationale' means and your fake civility, you stupid ****.

Imbecile, it is not I who invents sex, or the sexual roles they impose upon you, not am I the one who invents divergence and the racial and species or individualistic differences this imposes upon your desired uniformity, you stupid dumb ****, it is reality.

Imbecile reality, the world, the universe, cares not for YOUR happiness!!!!
it is not a given, you stupid retard, it is to be earned and then only in degree and momentarily...as all happiness all contentment is an ephemeral state before the cold harshness of incessant need imposes upon you its relentless challenge you can only escape with your childishness, you dumb ****.

Imbecile, contentment is a matter of tolerance, not of dismissible or of perspective.

You preach, like a weakling, to the weak.
Your civility is a farce, and we both know it. how much do you repress to pull it off, you stupid ****?

Retard, passions should only be excluded from reasoning...expression is another matter and one only pseud--intelelctual gits, like you, employ to appear like they are rationale when all their opininos scream of emotionalism and need.

Retard, I am your opposite. I express myself with passion when my views are strictly cold and objective - as much as this is possible - whereas you, you stupid **** - express yourself with coldness and civility to hide the fact that all yuor thinknig is adopted and affected by deep intuitive insensitive passions.

Moron, your message of nihilistic uniformity, oneness, and harmony is a common one amongst the dim and stupid.
You find pleasure and self-esteem in repeating what is popular and commonly accepted as fact...that's how dumb and stupid you are, you dumb ****.

Soon, you stupid retard, you will return to talking to the blind, or to yourself, or preaching to the indoctrinated and converted, and tell yourself that you are seeking truth and you love wisdom.


Douche-bag, how convenient for you that your 'reality" demands only a spin and on more effort than changing perspective. Like an ugly fuck telling himself that beauty is skin-deep and in the eye of the beholder.

Look at things as they really are and see that the unjust is in the case of the politician who does well from the starting-point like a dream not from the dream to reality. In their dream, they go off in great speed, but in reality the end they tiptoe away with their ears on their shoulders looking foolish without the prize. The just comes to the finish, receives the prize, and crown. This is the way with those who endure to the end have a good report and carry off the prize which society grants.

Muck is the word.

Many characters maimed and disfigured by their meanness are attracted to philosophy. But while in this foul case philosophy there remains a dignity about it.

Meanness, anger, and superstition in the world would empty out if knowledge were seen as good. That is the highest of all gifts of humanity when educated grow to become good nurtured citizens; all societies improve more and more as knowledge takes root.

The wise are not appreciated especially at a public place when a promiscuous crowd is assembled; the wise are looked at as strangers.

Through knowledge comes truth and kindness. Because what is truth but reality. The whole universe and all creation would stand still and never again have motion or birth without knowledge because absolute truth everything falls under.

Let us pray, bitch.

Let us pray for the ideal citizen...the just man, the good man....and let him garner his due rewards in the afterlife.

Bitch, empathy does not automatically lead to compassion.
You have a christian mind...a depraved slavish wanton mind seeking redemption when all there is is die or survive.

The cowardly and mean tyrant has no part in true philosophy which is harmoniously constituted not greedily or mean, or a braggart, and spinelessness coward. These are the signs, which distinguish even in youth the philosophical nature from the un-philosophical the just from the rude, and the gentle from the unfriendly. This these distinguish the philosophical nature from the un-philosophical nature.


Cowardliness and meanness have no part in true philosophy.
Nothing can be more antagonistic than meanness, greed, a braggart, or spinelessness coward.

It is astonishing what is called philosophy nowadays without any consideration as to whether it has meaning or not.

All great philosophy requires discussion and high mindedness. If curiosity alone makes a philosopher, you will find many who have the name but they have only the sense of it but not philosophy and if led to the true philosophy are unable to follow.
