Tired of waiting on politicians who waste your time? Are you tired of politicians not getting five stars when they deserve it? Are you tired of people who are unethical biblically posing as God incarnate?
Well sleep well friend, sleep well...
The midterm political crisis is, to be frank, the least of our worries. I once quipped...
"War is too important to be left to politicians."
Although saying that, I think Trump is doing a great job as a kind of "path of least resistance-style" of governing. I mean, I'll never forget the first thing he, Trump, said publicly on the record after getting elected in the election that me and my tea party Brothers fought for. What did he say in that first communicado with the American populace who elected him?
He said, "Republican American?
I'm giving you your country back."
Trump said at the time.
"This is not my country, Republican American!
I am now as president bestowing the ownership of this country known as America, I'm bestowing you ownership of the United States of America!"
In some sense this is kind of a Christian ethic in many respects, much in lieu with the original founding fathers and their dream for the future of our country.
The idea of service as such...
I have family who got degrees at
UNC.
I saw them get their degrees in the graduation ceremony. It's something that I as an uneducated high School dropout will never forget. It said on the screen at the UNC graduation ceremony that the meaning of the graduation was two part.
It was described in such a way that
All domains of education, so to speak, are
In each case a form of philosophy. So it's not just a liberal arts education and such and such. It's the philosophy of that particular area of expertise. And that each different domain of academia come with the philosophy a priori...
Further it's not just that old domains of education essentially came down to the philosophical aspect. It's not just that we're being committed into a lifetime of servitude as a slave might
Serve. It's that the idea of service ethics, is crucibly part and parcel what Christ himself did on the cross.
The idea of service, common sensically is what?
When you think about service, is this slave morality or Master morality?
I would say neither personally.
But what Christ did could be idetically reduced down to the notion of service as what Christ did for humanity on the cross.
Well what does that mean? Why would God son be sent to mankind merely to be murdered by the Roman elite empire? Well the sense that I make of it which I saw at UNC graduation ceremonies referencing philosophy in service, is to say that he put others before himself. Christ paid the price.
Yesterday, today and forever.
It is appointed once for a man to be born, once for a man to die, and after that the judgment.
So what I say is that Christ exemplified the philosophical phenomenological truth about the meaning of service.
So when you're out there feeling like you got nothing better to do but work?
You might want to remember white Anglo-Saxon Protestants work at that better than anybody else!
Well the fact is if day in and day out service ever seems like an exercise in nihilism, just remember that there is a higher purpose. Now that might seem
Teleologically pointless, but I would say we need to be talking about the end the front the beginning and the behind.
So if we look at it in terms of a tetrad, a four-part figure that you probably saw last time you looked at your feet in the restroom. There are some of us who have been postulating that this tetrad formula, or perhaps equation, is capable of predicting the future. So it could be possible that that four-sided tetrad figure is capable of using science and metaphysics to figure out the time problematic. It's time really money?
Is time quantifiable empirically?
Can phenomenology and the consistency of it's
Processing structure theirin
Be used somehow to break the time space barrier?
I wouldn't say it's likely I think there are a lot of things that are so consistent they can't be broken. Much like Jesus Christ.
So if you look at the phenomenon of consciousness there's certain elements about our perception, that I think might be possibly taken out of the paradigm of the science of neurology and the Brain. I mean slicing a brain open can teach you a lot.
However for me I think we all need to back off a bit and say two questions about philosophy and schooling in general.
Why is one of the first philosophers you read about in the mathematical domain Descartes?
It's a sad polemical attack which I referenced at the beginning of the end, or was it the end in the beginning? Well I'm following the train of thought today which says that Descartes, say what you want about him,
Was a Spaniard who dissected kittens, poochies, and many other domesticatable animals. I'd give the guy a break and say he must have at least used sedatives when he was dissecting cute little bunnies and sheep, but I wouldn't give a Catholic like that time of day.
So cogito ergo sum was Descartes contribution to philosophy in general, apart from the foundations in mathematics.
So what's cogito ergo sum?
Latin for I think therefore I am. I once had the pleasure to hang out with a guy with a liberal arts degree in Maryland. We used to bow and cow back in the day
Regarding philosophy, that's all I have to say.
I said is somebody who I respect is having a truly great mind philosophically, what do you think about instead of cogito ergo sum, what if we flipped it around and said sum ergo cogito?
The guy became increasingly bitter at a gigantically fast rate. Now I don't know what it is they're hiding in the higher
Academia circles,
But this guy looked at the idea of
I am therefore I think, he looked at that with a certain kind of disdain that's baked in so often with the liberal left.
So anybody out there reading I beseech you to take this simple question and apply it to why or why not you like or dislike academia when it comes to the power of Truth and knowledge..
What seems more truthful?
I think therefore I am.
Or
I am therefore I think.
