In the Coincidence thread, smelly writes......
When the ego is about to be unmasked, it shapeshifts into the self.
......nice try. A bit later......
Philosophy today has lost its way looking for the meaning of meaning.
I do have a soft spot in my heart for good ol’ Sophie.
Oh, yes, philosophy lost its way....... lost in a hermetic labyrinth of its own making..... only reflecting the dire straits of humanity.
The chicken is just in time to save humanity...... within a few weeks, mind you.
Of course, I wouldn’t be able to do this without smelly, bless his peripatetic heart.
Humanity is lost in the labyrinth of analysis..... chasing after meaning, if you will.
It was a two dog night for VO Quine, back in 1950, when he saw the end of analysis, right there in the dictionary...... comparable to 1905, when Einstein saw the end of physics. The chicken didn’t see the end of the world until Masquerade in 1981.
So, smelly is right about the ego, but goes off the mark with the self.
smelly hasn’t done his homework...... doesn’t know Quine or the history of philosophy....... but he does know how to get under my skin. That will suffice unto the day.
If smelly understood the self, he would understand history....... the meaning of time, etc.......
Yes, the self is an illusion, but it is a bootstrapping illusion. Poor smelly, he never met Geoffrey Chew...... that was well before his time.
I wonder what smelly makes of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs?
Yes, smelly was touched by an angel, and now he is determined to measure the rest of us by his angel.
We are found wanting..... in smelly’s balance.
Selves only serve love...... love invented selves...... all the better to bootstrap by.
We love to hate donny, don’t we? Poor little donny. donny is poor like a fox.... right out of central casting.
donny sets the stage for someone like the chicken...... what a relief!? The chicken scratches are on the wall.
We have a little fireside chat about the birds.... the bees.... and the best possible world...... as we collapse into the singularity of love.
This is the meaning of meaning, smelly...... get over it.
noon/gmt-3...........
The Alpha and the Omega..... these provide time with meaning. This is how time gets its gravitas. Otherwise, smelly would just float away on the lightness of being. This is boots on the ground, as the Princess would say.
Yes, the Alpha and Omega shield us from Eternity.
Revelation is when the veil is rent, from top to bottom. This is the Apocalypse. Put that in your tea and drink it, smelly.
The Princess and the chicken pin the Telos on the donkey..... right on donny’s golden Ass.
