Philosophy Now Forum

Of course this medium is at once magnificent and yet strangely limited.

I'm not sure if some individuals are unable to see me or if I need to attempt to express my philosophical fruits in yet even other ways...

Within this forum, and in my life, I have developed & discovered some really amazing things. At least I feel these things are amazing. ...

• * Accidentally, through a quite strange epiphany, I discovered and I am still developing a new form of union organizing. The third form of organizing. At this point I call it, The Way.

* I have defined and accepted my own personal religion; Organized Labor.

* Thirdly, I am in the process of discovering & developing an exciting NEW conceptual evolutionary philosophy. One that encompasses a holistic view of our individual lives and an eye to where mankind is, in general, in relation to our consciousness. The process of discovery is not without risk and I may, at any day, loose my life to one of the philosophical exercises. Like a moth to a flame I cannot stop this most important aspect of my entire life now.[/list]

...so, I guess you could say there is nothing that is more important to my life than philosophy.

...and through philosophy I have experienced the most important & memorable aspects in my entire life.

For me philosophy is real. Philosophy is most important. Philosophy deserves the best I can adhere to in each of my moments.

I try to be as open and as honest that I can be.

I appreciate and respect the membership.

I deeply appreciate this forum in it being a most important vehicle that has allowed me to focus, think, and articulate.

I thank everyone who has been a part of this experience in me, even if you have only viewed my posts.

In the end, I would define my life, as a philosopher.[/size]

...and I feel I have single-handedly pushed a barrier of sorts. I have introduced the importance of non-linear imaging into the formally quite denotative reflection of dead philosophers shattered writings.

Philosophy is only REAL philosophy when you live it. When you literally breathe it...

As always, thank you for participating.

I've used a few GIFs here in this thread.


If you are referring to the clip of Lennie Small getting his brains blown out...I used that as an example of the usurping of the intellect.


The GIF of the Matador being skewed is again, an example of when the intellect goes out the window...in this case because of injury.


I maintain that there is a place, a strangely emotional place, where REAL philosophy can take place within our reality.



I refer to this place as strangely emotional because the emotional essence is just about opposite of what we normally experience as emotional.




REAL philosophy we live. We breathe a truth, a view of ourselves, within our reality.



The intellect is a function. The slowest of all our functions as humans. This is a blessing and somewhat of a curse at the same time.



Hope that helped...

A pleasure and a joy.

Given you claim you don't know or understand yourself I find this very doubtful.
Not to be rude, in jumping into your conversation with Bill, but I see that your insinuation, of self knowledge certainty, leaves no doors open for potential growth, as well as your being able to know your future, as it pertains to Bill. Again, this is in conflict with my favorite quote of Socrates. It does often seem, that you would prefer to harm one, instead of understanding them, as you judge from a specific, unwavering perspective. I, and possibly Bill, (if I be so bold), see that understanding is a lifelong process, filled with decisions and revisions, which one second can reverse, due to epiphany, especially of oneself, if they truly be on the path of true wisdom.

Hear that tapping on the closet door? Ever wondered why you're on your third wife?

When I use the phrase ultimately incomprehensible that is what I mean; beyond the intellect. Beyond comprehension by the intellect alone.
Philosophy, REAL philosophy must be lived; must be alive.
It is an experience of being.
