 David Bohm: Why do you say it’s not attention?


Krishnamurti: Because when you are not attentive you see things which you’ve never seen before.


David Bohm: Let’s get this clear. You are saying there is a perception beyond attention, which comes unexpectedly.


Krishnamurti: It cannot be invited. It’s like saying, ‘I’ll be attentive in order to receive truth.’ That’s nonsense.


David Bohm: The word ‘attention’ means basically to stretch yourself towards something. Now, you are saying that, in some sense, when you are not stretched out, something may come unexpectedly.


Krishnamurti: That’s why when you say it is attention, I say it’s not quite that.


David Bohm: But is attention still connected with thought?


Krishnamurti: No, concentration is connected with thought.


David Bohm: But there is an attention, you say, which is not connected with thought, but still it’s not what we want.


Krishnamurti: No, it’s not the whole.


David Bohm: Not quite what we need.


Krishnamurti: So there is an awareness which is not concentration, an awareness in which there is no choice, an awareness which moves—and attention. In that attention there is a stretching out to capture. That is attention in the field of reality to capture something. To me that’s not sufficient.

 The medium is the message.  If there is no thinker. Krishnamurti is talking about a higher stage of consciousness.  One which elevates you above the choice of making a thought happen.  If you master it.  NOTE:  my use of the term "stage of consciousness" does not imply a "state in consciousness".  To arrive at the highest form of one's consciousness requires a placement.




 I have studied hard on this subject of what destruction is. It can only be a subscritpion to fulfilling sense and comprehension- combined with reasoning truthfully. You're awareness of this is destruction. You dismantle and deconstruct the enmity of conventions.




 Insecurity vs truth is a novel idea.  It is not about being per se insecure.  But - to be so profound in your thinking that your grievances are met with intelligence.




 I am a woke Liberal 🇨🇦. Why people condemn this is the same group of individuals that lack the shallowness in themselves to see what they've failed to adopt in society. Only they can't see it. They can't see how shallow they are to woke. In fact the movement they create is their demise. 


I am not a political figure in the public eye. But.we are all political allies in private.


God bless.

Fate

 





 So everything we understand as truth cocoons into a dogma. Some infertile land? I'd identify with my form in creating truth and test it against my better judgement. Isn't that the purpose we all share.

Realism vs indirect Realism

 I am a criss-cross between the metaphysics of Kant/Aroatotle. On the far left of the non-political spectrum.


The main difference?


From what I can tell upon this map, is that both Berkley and Locke share dystopic right wing views impartial to true realist thought, rooted in subjectivity independent of external world. That is my variation of it.




Insist inspiration

 (I agree.  But)...we all have very real  Relationships with why we become artists.  I take being starving as an artist very - very Seriously.  It is the only metaphor for it I can Relate myself to. How seriously is the question. (Not many people think about.) What my Point here is that no matter the famine as an artist, I will always be faithful to it. it's the monkey in my brain and the world on your back.  If you connect the brain with the world, the objective observable world, nothing can take this away from me.

Infidelity and its weakness

Yes.  I tend to agree.  But how about divine words more beautiful than are things to describe it as.

Communism debunked

Liberalism is an art.  That is the truth.  The other side of that is anything that poses as anything less than Liberalist ideology is not even a counter approach to reason.  Quite simply anything dissociative of this acts as an antithesis to Liberal ideology.  The philosophy against Liberal principles, is not a sure thing as merely to denounce from it a position of insatiablity.


"An anti-liberal theory on the rise..." does NOT consistute a philsophically plausible end game.


How Liberalist philosophy is proving to become nihilism is without validity.  An indivisable slippery slope.  Nothing to compete with there.  It is simply peak anti-intellectual in the event that you are being censored if you speak Liberalist truth.  (As herein...) "pretends to represent universal reason" is a laughable contractiction to all philosophy. Not just Liberalism. If pretending to reason, is predicated as Heidegger, you are instead - in fact - a lost soul.  A vagabond.

Interlocutor:

An extremely important component of Professor Alexandr Dugin, alongside his criticism of the Western belief in "Progress", is that Liberalism is rooted in Medieval Nominalism. Nominalism being the doctrine that rejects Platos Theory of Universals and proclaims that there are no such thing as groups of things with identifying characteristics but that there are only individual material things. This is essentially where the Nihlism of Liberalism is rooted.

Prove to everyone that nihilism is Liberalism in principle. Unless you are informing me with presumptuous abstract philsophically aburdist ideals.  Anyone, can try to do that.  Categorically philosophy is meant to be debunked in such fashion.  That is it.  Your entire argument is a slippery slope.

Absolutism is a form of superlative, where conditioning is meant to inform the masses of what they think, and is a classic form of propaganda. Speaking as a philosopher, you should know that. 


What you refer to right off this same interjection is what we can infer (is Liberal individualism) as a misnomer. It is such toothless approach to reason with - FYI. Empirically invalid, in defense of characterizing liberal ideology. This is outlandish communist idealism.


Further to not providing evidence that Liberalist notions are invalid... deserve a proper funeral. But not on Putin's watch and not while right wing idelaism exists. This follows...


I as a Liberalist take a counter revolutionary appraoch as Zelensky is with Ukraine.


To further contrast your description of "liberal individualism" - yes - things change. Times change. But thinking? No.


You are referring to liberals using a false dichotomy. Wait. Wait a minute... what if. What if what you are saying is categorically true.


The whole arguement: Katian ethics wouldn't even begin to acknowledge, that an incomplete theory in trying to negate the other, does NOT reduce Liberalism to a irrational stereotype. What on earth does ANY system that moral and ethical peoblems not arise? A dictatorship? A fascist state? A socialist form of government?  


Let's not bullshit here. The illogical contractions embedded in communist ideology, is Putin trying to philosophically maneuver his ideas into the history thereof. If his shrills couldn't do it, then why not put the furtive together? How else is your message eliminating Liberalism.


I just have to know.

Interlocutor: 


Liberal Individualism constitutes a philosophical system wherein moral and ethical considerations are relegated to individual discretion, as opposed to being recognized as absolute truths embedded in the values of the society and civilization into which one is born and raised. This system is tantamount to a philosophy of Moral Relativism, which underlies the Liberal assertion that 'morality cannot be legislated.' In practice, it is impossible to reconcile Liberalism with a concrete, non-relative morality. This, in turn, deprives individuals of a sense of sacrality and absolute truth, culminating in an existence characterized by meaninglessness and atomization.


My response:


1- "This system is tantamount to a philosophy of Moral Relativism, which underlies the Liberal assertion that 'morality cannot be legislated.' In practice, it is impossible to reconcile Liberalism with a concrete, non-relative morality."


No. This fallacy is wrong. How is that you are describing a Liberal assertion. Prove it. In what are you deducing legislation, cannot be morally renounced??? That is beyond absurd. We are not on the same page if at all!


2- "This, in turn, deprives individuals of a sense of sacrality and absolute truth, culminating in an existence characterized by meaninglessness and atomization."


Metaphysical interpretation takes art. In what world should censorship be allowed.

The problem is in the Enlightenment reduction of everything down to reason alone. Kant made human concepts into fixed projections and that is a big problem. We need to see such concepts as part of life, being both creations and discoveries, taken together.


My response:

I do understand your words as in the terminology of what "Enlightenment reduction" ...may or may not ensue. However, let ensure (as we can trust) the arguemental fallacy associated that ALL - yes all - Libreal ideology terminating nihilism is a false dichotomy. (My point therein should help.) That the false cause in saying: Liberalism is Nihlism in disguise is a misnomer. I accuse anyone - ANYONE... in the abuse of using such an argument is not only anti-to reason. It is Kantian ethics run amok.

" We need to see such concepts as part of life, being both creations and discoveries, taken together." 


Now that I can classify as reasonable. To an end point (Kant) that as a means (principly). That which acts as truth.


Marco Almeida ©️ 2025


That type of argument is in its (form is...) formal logic. (I would agree with.) However, if we take the informal approach to reason which is non empirical. Evidence has to act as proof of what is perception, added or heightened conscious awareness in practice. This does in no way qualify to performative elements. The rational animal thinks. The human mind deduces everything that happens using "sensory information". What that equates to is your individualist argument... that because we live in this day and age of informal fallacies (i.e. misinformation) the use of critical thinking (non-scientific) is to commit error upon error of validity.

My point hereafter, is (that) will always in no way mistake logic for illogical reasoning.  Individualist (modern philosophy vs the tradtionalist) must cosider all of logic as the end game.



Jets rewind...

 What a goal!!


Fetts is a Jet for life. We developed him and countless others. Winnipeg is a fire wagon 15yrs into its relocation. We ain't stopping. Perfetti has arrived.


I have said this back when we drafted Perfetti. Seeing him develop. I rather have him over Laine all day. Perfetti is a 6mil anuum for a guy who had developed into a 2 way player. What's Laine worth nowadays??

Marco Almeida ©️ "the superlative"

 Death begins at birth. (That's the romantic version to feel alive.) Our natural course of life requires no such closure. (Natural laws) 


We either learn how to accept death (question it) or we fear it (human nature).


Life begins the minute you begin to face you WILL face that time in one's end. It takes wisdom for such permutations.


Nothing per se ends. (If you think about death in order to test it.) That makes you a fatalist. What grounds us in dealing with the asking what death is, reveals everything you wash your feet in. This metaphor means you act as in life of which you fear death but you make an impervious choice not to (fear) anything. This is the begnning of true wisdom. To be the life you want. Impervious to death becoming you.


I think attaining wisdom, reveals a lot through asking the deeper philosophy of life. And ultimately, all of philosophy probably predates our ability to think. It means when man first started to question death, our purpose, the meaning of life. The question of how philosophy was born consists of 3 things and only.


1 - what is death (why, what happens when we die, where do we go... etc)


2 - what is the meaning of life (reveal purpose)


3 - the cosmos (what is a star made of) when man started to look up and question why there are stars (existential thought) philosophy just "happened"


^And this my friends is how I stir the drink at parties.


You can disagree with me all you want to, but my people are "my people" and fuck the one's I don't love, don't really know me, and hardly know the difference - but will never ask what inspires me or how did I learn to do philosophy on this level.


I got inspired to write. Be a writer (unpublished author - but I digress). An actor. I consider myself an artist. And nobody cares.


I am not a fool.


I am not an angry victim in my life. I go happily misunderstood throughout life. But I will die knowing the difference between who I am and what ignorance there is about me.
