A Philosophy of Mind

[Barbara Brooks]

Then, as I was saying, our youth should be trained from the first in a stricter system, for if amusements become lawless, and the youths themselves become lawless, they can never grow up into well-conducted and virtuous citizens.

smell is the radiance coming from your ass, i wasn't even talking to you, i was talking to barbara, don't pay so much attention to my posts

Why most philosophers have been male until now ?
Because women were discouraged from arguing.

Aristotle, Politics, chapter 13:

"the courage of a man is shown in commanding, of a woman in obeying"

The great mind did not even care to justify this astonishing statement.

It is a miracle that some courageous ladies in England (Mrs. Pankhurst for example) made some pioneer work from which we women have benfitted until today.

A suivre.

no point in remedying or proposing to remedy gender emphasis imbalances without remembering this. Good point Luisia Mousky

all the female academics would refute Aristotles statement merely by their very existence, wheelchaired disabled and mentally ill academics next to declare their colours and be stood proud by their professions refuting Platos arguments that only the beautiful is valid (symposium) and that disabled should be left to die out on the hills(mum told me no idea of source so any pointers would be good)

STRAWS BOLLOCKS VS BABBLING BROOKS :

Smell is the radiance that blooms in myriad systems of the earth.
A touch stone ,primitive yet refined when our dispositions cast upon it
the self glorification of our souls.
The eye that is blue is red and green and grey and from within
we see without seeing.

Cast your net to a thousand fishes and you will catch no fish ; but, cast your net to the one fish who looks you in the eye and your house will be filled with golden gifts from the sea and her mysterious siren.

Arising believes he will get money for being a psychology subject and for his part in the Tate exhibition.
And I believe I am a mystical philosopher ; the great Babbling Brooks.

I should watch East Enders instead of spouting this crap but, alas, I forgot to take my pills and am spewing verbiage by the gallon.

I would never resort to insult in my arguing Straw dog.
(doesnt mean that there aren't academics who i would be less inclined to hang around if given the opportunity but hopefully my soul is a representative democratic state with a fair bit of anarchism to muck up the mix)
I think BB has great courage to speak her mind when you have Dawkins and mates wish to anniliate anyone especially academics??? (who actually f** up their meaning like they are human too shock horror!) who need to learn how to express themselves.
I am standing with BB for her right to speak her mind regardless.
I hope this is an anarchic representative democracy where ALL have a right to speak and express their minds and are given a fair and just hearing with neccessary corrections and amenabilityt to fair corrections not flame wars.
as someone said earlier you dont do your fine intellect any favours, heed that voice SD.

Then you haven't lived in the real world sonny nor have you ever visited the house of commons.

Are you actually equating the mind of Barbara Brooks to Dawkins ?


I am standing with BB for her right to speak her mind regardless.

Then you are standing for the corruption of philosophy and allowing the mental ward to invade a forum on debate , which depends upon
proper structured sentences and arguments not a string of nonsense
gibberish.


I hope this is an anarchic representative democracy where ALL have a right to speak and express their minds and are given a fair and just hearing with neccessary corrections and amenability to fair corrections not flame wars.

If Barbara Brooks expressed her ideas in a court of law in such a way she would be commited to a mental hospital within 15 minutes.
Why should a forum on philosophy be a place where someone with
a mental problem be tollerated.Rick Lewis shouldclose it down
but he is too lazy to bother with it .

Straw Dog's intellect stands on the notion that a person with a mental illness should not be allowed to post ad nauseum on a forum where normal people
wish to express themselves in a coherant manner.

SD.

Doubt that anyone is paying much attention to your posts.
You are a neurotic blonde and humanist fool who is encouraging a woman with a severe bi-polar condition.

You should be thankful for such idleness as if its good enough for you then its good enough for BB.

[Barbara Brooks]

Philosophers are lovers of knowledge. The spectator of all time is the philosopher harmoniously constituted, just and gentle even in youth.

1983 I began writing philosophy not for the likes of anybody but me, and for anyone else traveling the same path. In order to understand philosophy its very complex ideas, I started a journal and called them ‘the weeping wall’. Well anyway, they were very helpful to me for releasing my obstacles in learning philosophy.

so people with mental illness (an arrogant assumption for poor BB) are denied philosophizing and becoming/learning to become philosophers.
your ideas SD is classic prejudice because you understand the depth and length the sheer bloody scale of mental illness anywhere in the known universe.
As it so happens I live in 'supported housing where most all have mental illness. I have a lifelong history of MISDIAGNOSIS in my life DOES THAT STOP ME FROM LEARNING PHILOSOPHY OR BARBARA BROOKS OR ANYONE WHO HAS MENTAL ILLNESS ON THIS FORUM.
I ALSO AM TRYING TO DO AN PEER GROUP EVALUATION OF A RESEARCH DRAFT PROPOSAL USING PHILOSOPHERS AND EMPLOYING GROUNDED THEORY THAT IS AS CONFORMIST YET RADICAL AND LEFTFIELD BLUE SKIES AS IT IS POSSIBLE TO BE.
Is rick to stop subscriptions to those known to have mental illness in some weird protective strategy or is Rick wide enough sensible enough have a wide enough insight to recognise that philosophy is good for you, benefits you if you shock horror enter university and gasp have a FUTURE.
I also have had TWO PROMOTIONS OF GREAT SIGNFICANCE
1) i broke all rules and got a double promotion giving me status people grovelling at me because i became a problem solver
2) I cant tell you area but boy am i not knowledgable and aware of A PARTICULAR WORLD OF WORK AND SPECIFIC PROFESIONALS AND I AM BEING UPDATED ALL I HAVE TO DO IS BEST SECRET KEEPER IN UNIVERSE.
Dont know what it looks like to you SD but that smacks of richness and opportunity.
I also have friends and family who are academics in research led universities meaning intellectual conversations are rich and meaningful.
I would enlarge your perspective if I were you Straw Dog because no doubt you would condemn us all to the hills of Plato to die in more ways than one!!!

[ponziq]

The highest truth worthy of attaining is good. Only by good do all things become useful and advantageous. The idea of good is the highest virtue. Everyone who pursues it and makes it the end of all actions shines with radiant truth.

Draw your mind toward truth and even now as disregarded as it is today, it is very likely some day will emerge into light.

I philosophy were mere representation of opinions then it would be a very tiresome study. Thus in studying science a willingness to give profound thought that exalts infinitude of ideas and truth not superficial rhetoric.

Labor of love is chains that keeps us in bondage but we succeed in attaining and finding truth and knowledge. The process is twofold; the slave and master which is solely a unity of subjective and objective, and the unconditional sacrifice and labor of love

But isn't it also true that feeling is our supreme wealth of self-means simply feeling is in communion with self. Everything is reduced to feeling, senses of the skin, th conaste is the muscle of the tand voice. wealth of self-means simply feeling is its itsebody, and this is feeling. ell is connected with the principle of air and breatn communion with self. Everything onguThe noise organ sme, whicnechinoy, contentment, is reduced to feeling, senses of the skin, taste is the mg.

WRONG !
The Straw Dog Blog morphed into several characterizations and was never static.
However, it was brought to an end and stands as a representation of what is possible among people communicating on a forum.

Now it is time for BB to be terminated.
By all means preserve the nonsense for posterity to show people how pseudo intellectuals operate- but enough is enough.
Cut out the sentimental humanist bollocks and kill it off !

People with such defects are unable to conceptualise philosophically.
They suffer from mania which results in "salad talk" .This is characterised by rambling disjointed phrases. Syntax is absent from such verbal constructions and this is indicitive of those with bi-polar conditions.
In what sense such rubbish stands as philosophy, in your mind, nobody could say.

your ideas SD is classic prejudice because you understand the depth and length the sheer bloody scale of mental illness anywhere in the known universe.

It is not prejudice it is diagnosis of mental incapacitation.

You do not have a clue what you are talking about .
You have no training in neurology for a start and no training
in psychiatry.

Christ would you just read that syntax ! Perhaps you can understand BB

It smacks of outright loonyism . Barbara Brooks does in no way make a contribution to philosophy .She is a pseudo intellectual with bi-polar
depression . She is talking from her subconcious .

[Barbara Brooks]

If our citizens are well educated, and grow into sensible men, they will easily see their way through all these, as well as other matters which I omit; such, for example, as marriage, the possession of women and the procreation of children, which will all follow the general principle that friends have all things in common, as the proverb says. For good nurture and education implant good constitutions, and these good constitutions taking root in a good education improve more and more, the lawlessness of which you speak too easily steals in.
