| Posted: | | | | Using non-Aristotelean principles, we can determine that we do not have minds and bodies, but in fact are our minds and bodies and that they, too, are one. Our physical health has a direct measurable effect on how well our minds work and vice versa. We think because we are, and we cannot be unless we think. Thinking is, by and large, emotional, and separation of intellect and emotional states is doomed to failure.
When we descibe that which we have observed, we provide only an abstract map, not the actual event. Our descriptions, no matter how accurate will be both limited and colored by not only our experiences and eduction, but by our personal physical limitations. How do we describe an event we see, hear, smell, taste and feel from only our singular point of view? Do we have accurate senses of time involved, or were our perceptions modified by a sense of excitement which either sped up or slowed down our visions of the event, and by how much?
“There’s glory for you!” “I don’t know what you mean by ‘glory’,” Alice said. “I meant, ‘there’s a nice knock-down argument for you!’ ” “ ‘But ‘glory’ doesn’t mean ‘there’s a nice knock-down argument’ ”, Alice objected. “When I use a word,” Humpty Dumpty said in a rather scornful tone, “it means just what I choose it to mean—neither more nor less.”
“The question is,” said Alice, “whether you can make words mean so many different things.” “The question is,” said Humpty Dumpty, “which is to be master—that’s all.”
Rene Descartes goes into a bar and sits down. The bartender asks him if he'd like a beer, and Descartes answers "I think not" and promptly disappears. | | | If it wasn't for bad taste, I wouldn't have no taste at all.

| Posted: | | | | I spoke with Sidney Freeman, he approves of free association. And he reminded me of something he told the 4077 "You know, I told you people something a long time ago, and it's just as pertinent today as it was then. Ladies and gentlemen, take my advice - pull down your pants and slide on the ice." Skip | | | ASSUME NOTHING!!!!!! CBE, MBE, MoA and proud of it. Outta here
