I'm a staunch Freudian in that sense.
Discussion of the nature of Ultimate Reality and the path to Enlightenment

The sun still comes up again and the seasons keep turning pages from the book of hours. No escape from the machine. But now one finally has the absolute lack of "alternative"; the way becoming clear.Talking Ass wrote:Diebert: Well, thank God we can be done with THAT!
And what [now] is the alternative?
Sure, I agree. Except your question is and was really a statement about your own values, your own orientation. You did not start by 'sincerely engaging' me on my own terms, the terms of my discourse. The other part of this which I hope you can acknowledge is that GF is a special, distorted, dysfunctional locality. It is sort of like a poisoned well and in this exteriorizes an inner psychology of its founders. Ah but note my 'violent' interpretive thrust! In exactly the same way you might say: There is no hope for this donkey to realize (the) truth (of which I speak). He is deranged. He is 'deluded'. This forum is about both recognizing errors of understanding and thrusting correctives at others. Once you have seen this, once you understand that in such a space like this (as in a dystopic Beckett story), conversation ENDS, will you then be able to revitalize honest enquiry, even if that 'only' means knowing another human being on his terms...Liberty Sea wrote: "Well, it is meant to be a question for you to ask yourself and yourself alone. If you, in your heart of hearts, can know what your honest answer to that question is, in everything you do and the reason why you are doing what you do, then no discourse from me is needed."
I don’t follow the long threads enough to responsibly participate. Maybe that’s the way it is with others.Talking Ass wrote:Does anyone, as I do, ever wonder why so many potentially good conversations, so rich in possibilities, completely falter and wither on the vine? Is this because the conversants are so differently oriented and their language and symbols are unintelligible to each other? Such that it 'angers' them that the other thinks differently? Is this just a peculiarity of GF? Is this just the end of the possibility of communication, the natural end, as of an organism?
Or perhaps they weren't potentially as good at all and a kind soul tries to hit it at some stage with a stick like keisaku, to potentially save the little life left? Just another interpretation, mind you!Talking Ass wrote:Does anyone, as I do, ever wonder why so many potentially good conversations, so rich in possibilities, completely falter and wither on the vine?
