    Thank you, West.
    I hope the family is thriving there.
    Your presence online has positively impacted my life and
    you helped steer my very mental health is some real low spots
    in my life.
    You do make a difference. And probably profoundly so.
    I thought you should know.
    Gratitude is the Prince of the human emotions.
    That is what I have been told and it fits here.
    Thank you, sincerely.
    I wish you well.

    or my pulse runs its total course.

    Boundary dissolving experiences make us aware that the world around us is not the only thing, or is not simply as it appears. It might be that it is boundary dissolving experiences that lead an individual down the road of philosophy. The experiences are of differing level of intensity, but they all signify a break in one's original mode of thinking up till that point. Like stepping out of The Cave. Imo, society needs to provide many more opportunities for such breaks to occur for individuals, and then the society would grow great. You can't have producers, guardians, and rulers, that inevitably ends up in class struggle. Everyone of us in our own way must be philosopher kings, must be a combination of the three classes Plato spoke of.

    • @evo1ov3
      @evo1ov3 7 місяців тому

      Plato is talking about objects of thought pretaining to geometry. That "magical world" your talking about. Is the reason Plato had a sign over the Academy that said "Let No One Enter Who Has Not Studied Geometry." So unless Sausser hasn't passed 3rd grade math. I'm gonna have to say No.

    I think there are two avenues for 'realness" if the universe is two things: energy and movement. The world of forms describes how energy moves eg. a torus, and we engage with this energy movement to obtain a result. A result can be static, where it "dies" and goes back into the energy field, or engaged with further. What we call life is the interface between energy and movement and everything we do reflects this, especially our language of nouns and verbs.

    • @pussypuffs
      @pussypuffs 4 роки тому

      i like the associations you make because "everything we do reflects [energy and matter]". i think its very true. and if youre still into that kind of understanding, id beg you to keep looking into how what we do is reflected everywhere... until theres nothing left to know. i wish i had a friend like you, i could tell you all about my black hole theories and you could share yours ^^ good luck in your travels

    The culmination of his theory was "make philosophers kings". You can call it altruism (for they are supposed to have "higher intentions"), knoledge (for they are supposed to be the smartest), or whatever you want. But aswell as every politic theory (other than anarchism), its underlaying implication is the following: "give more power to me, or to the group i belong to". That can be applied to marxism and its "equality" implications, to liberalism and its "meritocracy" implications, absolutism and its religious implications. Everybody wants more for itself, and it is no coincidence (in my opinion) that Pluto wanted POWER TO PHILOSOPHERS. We can only superced our racial inherent tendence to conflict by first accepting our true nature. IDEALISTC view is precisely the opposit.

    " "I," was created by the thought of Gods and "Their," desire to allow all mortals to know that "They," are always with them: As humankind grows and seeks absolute independence from "Them," "They," will remain by their side, guiding them and directing them, in their growth to absolute "WISDOM," the way to "Their Essence" and the Elysium Fields. As you look out beyond the now, into the heavens, "I" will be there, guiding you and helping you know that "I," be visible or invisible, "My Essence," will guide you beyond all that is sensed in your reality. So, let it be now revealed to you that both "I" and "He," in mortal being, who speaks to you through the thoughts of children are but one. " Eleusis.
    Let The Light within you guide you to the Elysian Fields entrance; your inner beauty is expected.
    Seek me out: Amazon, Imagination is the way. Love is the ink; wisdom is the message.

      @@ericjackson-nq4hp 30 years. Me it's been 20. My "f'kng problem" really is misunderstanding Plato. Philosophy professors like the late Michael Sugrue study Republic thier entire lives. And upon thier last year to live. Try to do a 10 part series on Republic but only make it to Book 4. Moreover if you doubt the sincerity to my convictions? Google the preschool handout of the "Gender Unicorn." Then come back and tell me the severity of what it means to misunderstand Plato. Plato's philosophy is not a plaything for caprice attitudes. As the saying goes. To paraphrase. "Play with the Devil's Toys. You will be brought by Degrees of Understanding to Weild His Sword."
