vonderwueste said: I believe that the test of validity is application. Philosophology is what we yap about. Philosophy is what we live. The things you mention cannot be proven on paper or in a discussion forum. The things you mention cannot be realized vicariously through fantasy. ...What will it be with you? To yap or to live, that is the question.
dmb says:I think that's a false dilemma. While I appreciate the distinction, it's also pretty obvious that yapping is part of life. You know, just like writing metaphysics and picking up bar ladies. Without thought and language we'd still be living in the trees, by tooth and claw. I mean, does it really make any sense to take an anti-intellectual road if the goal is wisdom? I think Ken Wilber was quite right to point out that a person without ego is not a saint, he's just psychotic. The trick is to have cognitive skills and a healthy ego without thinking that's all you are. Transcend AND include, to go beyond without destroying what came before. _________________________________________________________________ Rediscover Hotmail®: Now available on your iPhone or BlackBerry http://windowslive.com/RediscoverHotmail?ocid=TXT_TAGLM_WL_HM_Rediscover_Mobile2_042009 Moq_Discuss mailing list Listinfo, Unsubscribing etc. http://lists.moqtalk.org/listinfo.cgi/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org Archives: http://lists.moqtalk.org/pipermail/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org/ http://moq.org.uk/pipermail/moq_discuss_archive/
