Best of luck on your new year mission.  Sniffle Sniffle.  These blankets and UGGs are mighty cozy. For now.

Re: Mind's Eye mistaken origins

I don't know if I would go as far as saying that our work ethics corrupts our otherwise perfect identities, but certainly Vorsprung durch Technik helps to not getting caught red handed. There goes your eyes and memory.

Am Donnerstag, 19. Dezember 2013 05:43:03 UTC+1 schrieb Ash:
There seems to be an impenetrable veil crafted by identity that makes us
weave a tale of vitality and protects from a colder harshness, it seems
against the suffocation of invisibility. I used to think adults were a
more dangerous variety of children and would now like to look back and
see people being people and have things fall into place. I am terrified
of the spotlight but love to scout, my myth is more favorable than the
practice it derives from like many others perhaps. I enjoy kindness but
often have to temper a strong contempt for the society I know and see,
honesty in that regard would've been the end of a young story, it would
destroy the present as well, though circumstances seem almost opposite.
Funny. Old habits and lessons are hard to overcome, I know of truth as a
trial that demands courage without an ounce of aesthetic, everything
comes from the bottom-up, but I am missing the other half of the story
(or my story). That half involves artificial boundaries arising from
identity, myth and practice (for me). It is odd to see and know but be
barred from belief.

Moving on.. :) I get the impression that what we see in dishonesty and
usury is a suspension of cultural progress, reflected in individual
maturity as an inability to mentally overcome those challenges. Those in
power have everything to gain whether in personal, professional or
governance by rewards for callous and sometimes sociopathic
manipulations. Part of the myth that perpetuates this seems to be the
prestige of success, as if it were a character virtue. On practical
grounds I agree that we need to promote and sometimes tolerate those who
are capable and willing to get the job done but very little of this is
in the public discourse, shining the light into one area moves the
problem, cockroaches are likely a fitting image in some cases. I have
heard that Germans have a similar work ethic to Americans Gabby, I
wonder if your prisons are as full. Justice resides in the eyes and
memory alone, I think.

Re: Mind's Eye Re: P universes

I remember arguing years ago that there was only 1 universe. And so was I told and taught by the christian teacher saying there was only one universe.

That is the funny part speaking about one while referring to three different universes. That Molly does not say there are only three..maybe the muslims and jews have again totally seperated who really knows

Re: Mind's Eye Felicitations

Yes I have noticed that you and your dog have been blocking the bad weather from reaching me. Keep up the good work. We do appreciate you facing and battling the extreme weather. Thank you now put up your feet in front of the warm fire and listen to the passing of time or at least the marking points

All the best to you and your wife Allan.  I've just been out with the hound, finally beaten back by wind and horrible wet snowfall (at least I was).  Carving cuckoos in front of the fire would indeed be preferable.

Re: Mind's Eye Opinions

We take 'legal opinion' of the sort Gabby mentions.  I like her split from personal statement, yet in this wordy world one can easily be gouged by sensible sounding opinion.

In the Duggan case, a cop (V53) shot Mark Duggan.  He claims to have seen a gun, as do two other cops.  Nine other cops there did not see the gun.  It was found 20 feet away over railings in fairly short grass.  No one saw it fly there (etc.) and other people who were there, including one almost standing where it was supposed to be, did not see it.  One woman says she saw a cop carrying it to plant.  Another guy says he saw the shooting and Duggan was holding a mobile phone.  It's a mess - most evidence involving eye-witnesses is - we use cognitive interviewing to try to sort it out.  The techniques was not used in this case - cops refused to be interviewed.  The jury is having trouble making a decision.

In my opinion, the cops are lying and/or confabulating (this is common in adrenaline fueled situations).  The only conclusion I can reach is that cops put into these situations should have a decent CCTV system.  One could say the same of a simple, transparent arithmetic system amongst our banksters.  Many systems prevent us getting direct evidence, forcing reliance on opinion.  People lie and self-deceive.

Our systems have long relied on opinion.  It may be time to remainder this to a fall back position.

On Wednesday, 18 December 2013 20:33:16 UTC, Gabby wrote:
I expect an opinion to be the result of a weighing process of all pros and cons that I know of, whereas a personal statement has not necessarily been weighed against the weight of the world, so to speak. An opinion therefore feels much more rounder than a personal statement. Both would count as originals still. Whereas the deliberate-rounding-in-order-to-create-truth methodology stems from the bubble industry, which leaves the bubble without own originator - not original. We can agree with all options without having to touch the question of originality if we want to. 

But reporting as an eye-witness is something completely different. Instances of the right and wrong, of law and order, need to be made understood what happened. That is really, really difficult.

Every once in a while there are replies to posts stating (or perhaps complaining)  that the opinions stated are just "personal statements" and/or that the opinions stated are "not original". This leaves me puzzled.  Are not ALL  opinions "personal statements"? And are not ALMOST ALL opinions "not original"?

Re: Mind's Eye mistaken origins

Much my own sentiment Ash.  We usually credit Plato, Socrates and Aristotle as very bright and I'm always easily impressed by the engineers like Archimedes and people like Aristarchus who knew Earth was round and its diameter.  Something is very wrong in our thinking and what we do.  i'm very tired of what passes before me on television, film (odd exceptions) and the internet.  As an academic I found myself surrounded more and more by people who really just hacked out the content of a few books as teaching and a professorial class writing junk (guilty myself).  Managerialists took over, from low-level clowns doing data management (giving advice like 'your website will be OK with the legislation as long  as you don't put anything on it') and thieves at the top.  

I suspect the problem is deep, like not seeing the wood for the trees.  How did these Greeks not see problems with slavery - even John Locke wrote slaves taken in just wars deserved their fate.  What is it now that we miss?  That we do is obvious in the trebling of human population in 60 years or so and what a can of worms it is to think about population control, including the Chinese having so few girls, our age balance, the vile sight of a woman dragged away for a forced abortion and even the weird situation of delaying our retirements while youth unemployment is so high.  I have my sights on work ethic and meritocracy through education.  I feel as passionate as an ex-smoker about cigarettes!

It's almost impossible to watch television without adverts for "payday loans" at 4000% - even though I watch 20 minutes late to use the fast-forward or on illegal internet sites.  The madness is writ large.  UK agriculture is worth £5 billion, yet gambling is at £49 billion.  All 17 agencies involved in a Rochdale sex abuse case are held to have failed.  Some twit comes on using words like policies and procedures.  The Obamacare netsite was a disaster.  If you look hard enough, media people look nothing like the rest of us.  Listen to the adverts carefully and you can spot the same people's voices over and over.  Xmas here is full of cooing women in the jingles.  It's so bad I'd almost welcome a Puritan purge.

My thinking often heads in the direction of a planned economy, even though the Soviet experiment was so dire.  A flood of thoughts about freedom come.  Somewhere in this my scientific and spiritual sensibilities are offended by the lack of analytic thinking and marshaled facts on how economies work.  Economics provided no relief.  Wittgenstein was prone to mention an intellectual place of safety.  I have found one can't find this, only protect oneself and family.  The sinecures of academe, like Plato's free table, are provided by 'slaves'.  One might say the same of the vast excesses of the "meritocratic oligarchy" and various scarcity-paid individuals.  Crude notions of equality don't help.  Nor does absolute freedom to do what one wants.

Yet doing what we do ...

There seems to be an impenetrable veil crafted by identity that makes us

see people being people and have things fall into place. I am terrified
of the spotlight but love to scout, my myth is more favorable than the

often have to temper a strong contempt for the society I know and see,
honesty in that regard would've been the end of a young story, it would
destroy the present as well, though circumstances seem almost opposite.
Funny. Old habits and lessons are hard to overcome, I know of truth as a
trial that demands courage without an ounce of aesthetic, everything
comes from the bottom-up, but I am missing the other half of the story
(or my story). That half involves artificial boundaries arising from
identity, myth and practice (for me). It is odd to see and know but be
barred from belief.

Moving on.. :) I get the impression that what we see in dishonesty and
usury is a suspension of cultural progress, reflected in individual
maturity as an inability to mentally overcome those challenges. Those in
power have everything to gain whether in personal, professional or
governance by rewards for callous and sometimes sociopathic
manipulations. Part of the myth that perpetuates this seems to be the
prestige of success, as if it were a character virtue. On practical
grounds I agree that we need to promote and sometimes tolerate those who
are capable and willing to get the job done but very little of this is
in the public discourse, shining the light into one area moves the
problem, cockroaches are likely a fitting image in some cases. I have
heard that Germans have a similar work ethic to Americans Gabby, I
wonder if your prisons are as full. Justice resides in the eyes and
memory alone, I think.

Re: Mind's Eye mistaken origins

I enjoyed Vam's insights and miss him too, come to think of it I don't
recall ever disliking anyone here, hope I didn't chase him off. I
thought the timing of this was interesting so I'll share the first thing
I saw when I started browsing, /"All that is required for evil to
triumph is for good men to do nothing." /It stings enough to be true, I
dont know what to say but poli's post is haunting. That is a good thing,
perhaps in part.

Re: Mind's Eye mistaken origins

There seems to be an impenetrable veil crafted by identity that makes us
weave a tale of vitality and protects from a colder harshness, it seems
against the suffocation of invisibility. I used to think adults were a
more dangerous variety of children and would now like to look back and
see people being people and have things fall into place. I am terrified
of the spotlight but love to scout, my myth is more favorable than the
practice it derives from like many others perhaps. I enjoy kindness but
often have to temper a strong contempt for the society I know and see,
honesty in that regard would've been the end of a young story, it would
destroy the present as well, though circumstances seem almost opposite.
Funny. Old habits and lessons are hard to overcome, I know of truth as a
trial that demands courage without an ounce of aesthetic, everything
comes from the bottom-up, but I am missing the other half of the story
(or my story). That half involves artificial boundaries arising from
identity, myth and practice (for me). It is odd to see and know but be
barred from belief.

Moving on.. :) I get the impression that what we see in dishonesty and
usury is a suspension of cultural progress, reflected in individual
maturity as an inability to mentally overcome those challenges. Those in
power have everything to gain whether in personal, professional or
governance by rewards for callous and sometimes sociopathic
manipulations. Part of the myth that perpetuates this seems to be the
prestige of success, as if it were a character virtue. On practical
grounds I agree that we need to promote and sometimes tolerate those who
are capable and willing to get the job done but very little of this is
in the public discourse, shining the light into one area moves the
problem, cockroaches are likely a fitting image in some cases. I have
heard that Germans have a similar work ethic to Americans Gabby, I
wonder if your prisons are as full. Justice resides in the eyes and
memory alone, I think.
