Words like problem and solution ring false in philosophy, because they postulate the independence of what is thought from thinking exactly there, where thinking and what is thought are mediated by one another. Only what is true, can truly be understood philosophically. The fulfilling completion of the judgement in which understanding occurs is as one with the decision over true and false. Whoever does not participate in the judging of the stringency of a theorem or its absence does not understand it. It has its own meaning-content, which is to be understood, in the claim of such stringency. Therein the relationship of understanding and judgement distinguishes itself from the usual temporal order.

So you clutter up "philosophy" threads with music vids and have no reason for doing so?

How truthfully refreshing MJA. You have made my day, Socrates would be proud.

noooo chaz, the title of the thread is titled, 'You only lose what you cling to', and i found that the videos related to that statement culturally. i wonder what cannot be lost culturally? technological advancement might be one? i appreciate the majority of technological advancement. i wonder if we culturally cling to this, we will lose it in the future someday as well? thanks for your video by the way.

I would like to have lunch with Socrates,
And after it was all said and done,
So would the questions be.

In ways you are obviously too inarticulate to express, in the first place?

No problem. The Shadows were pretty good for their time - so few doing instrumental numbers for the charts.

As for loosing it - I can't image how it would ever happen that we could loose this material, barring a major population catastrophe world-wide due to a comet hitting the earth - digital media is cheap as chips. Somewhere on earth the means to play songs with a device that costs no more than price of a loaf of bread will always be with us for the foreseeable future.

Do you follow the eightfold path, hold the four noble truths?

Live as a buddhist?

Probably not because that would imply attachment and clinging

Arising_uk wrote: ↑Sat Sep 24, 2011 1:20 am Or you could believe what the buddhists say and be one. Follow the eightfold path and hold the four noble truths. But that'd be to hard for such as you as it'd involve actually doing something rather than waffling about it.

The 'truth' is easy to become you just have to believe in it.

Its actually not based on believe, its based on direct experience.

As philosophers, one of the things we must do is search for the truth. In order to search for the truth you must respect the truth. To search for truth you must begin with the truth. And even then, with all our efforts, the truth is difficult to become.

I love this quote from you Bill.

Truth is difficult to become because it never comes, like tomorrow never comes.

So how come you never come any more..I've missed you
