They do exist!

ahhh... breakfast!

Ron Paul wouldn't be proud. The problem with most Dem. bashing is that the typical Republican mindset is ignorant about what the Republic truly entails. It is perhaps a superior form of Governance (given our current state of evolution) than Democracy; however, people like Ron Paul who are closest to being its true ideological enforcers are in short supply.

Yes - there are, quite possibly, more than one transcendental domains (the black box in the animation).
Yes - there is, quite possibly, one "domain" - a mother Set, if you will - that encapsulates the one or many transcendental domains.

Contradiction: The fact that our transcendental domain seems to establish itself as a function of our interpretation of our 5 senses will always get in the way of us determining what encapsulates this domain. In other words, a Kabbalah may attempt to explain this mother Set but as far as our Kind is concerned it is nothing but a system of assumptions and projections - a science to a faith, a faith for a mind to follow.

I can apply the same argument to most, possibly all, religious texts.

I will never condemn a system of thought or a faith because there are minds that are in need of such systems. However, the dangers to a communal existence of our Kind lies whence each proclaims to have the answers to phenomena beyond our transcendental domain.

Quite simply, absolute conviction and faith ("atheists" included) is a volatile mix - a stagnant and dangerous rigidity of the mind.

For the hardcore Philosophers: My intent is not to glorify David Hume and his likes; instead, I am optimistic that Subjectivism is only part of a minute discrete state in the seemingly contiguous state of our collective mental evolution.

**The caffeine's wearing off, again.**

good for appealing to the masses, but flawed in its presentation - here's the philosophy: Proximity breeds familiarity, familiarity feeds memory, memory reiterated becomes habit. It is the memory of that and those that are proximal to us that linger due to a strengthening (or reinforcing) by iteration. It will always be at the forefront of the mind because it is action-inducing.



The caffeine's wearing out now.

Can't the average human get a decent fix after the sh%tty 8-5 without the State dictating what the state of mind should be. There's a fragile line of traversal between citizen security and control.

acid - like Tanqueray, Scotch, Babies, and all that is matter - always in moderation ;)

Of Yearnings

A forlorn longing...

...borne by a reminiscence of what had been.


                        
                    A tumultuous rage - a violent languish,
                    to stave off the complacency of pull... of draw...
                    of allure... of that which is familiar.
