Philosophy - December 2007

The rich cannot stop making profit. I am very puzzled about this. Mind can be the most powerful thing. People cannot control it but mind controls them. But it's more puzzling that a few people pay attention to understand it whereas a lot of people ignore it. I know that everyone cannot sit in their home without earning money but although u have a lot of money and can use it for entire ur life, you would go out to earn it more. The attachment of desire How to get rid of it from mind ?

I was listening to a lecture about the brain and consciousness the other day, and the professor brought up the "binding problem". She explained how multiple pathways in the brain form consciousness or something that it is happening to "me", and also seems as a unitary experience. For example, there are nuclei in your brain that process visiual information, some other area does does auditory, and somatosensory and so on, but there is no single place(and neuroscientists have looked) in the brain that makes ALL this information come together yet we dont experience the world as all these bits of information, but in a unitary way. What makes it all come together? i wanted to ask people who know about computers, in what way the processes all get put together to form whats on your screen? is this the processor? and i also want to ask what would the computer be like if there wasnt any integration going on?

What is the basic difference between intelligence and being smart?

For example, I am smart in terms of math but very ignorant in other areas of life.

Your view?

what i call an "art" u may dislike it and say its full of cr@p,,
that means "art" depends on people's opinion and perspective,, its how we look at it,,rather than how it is,,
and most importantly,,the one who creates an "art" is more important than the "art" itself (u definately have to agree with this). so "art" doesn't have its identity,,
does this make "Arts" the worst "area of knowledge"?

So, the last day before Thanksgiving Break was Tuesday, November 20. On Friday, November 16, I left for a wedding (just me and my mom)--and did not return until the night of Monday, November 19. Today is December 7, and things are ah just so bad. I remember being concentrated and focus towards school right before leaving for the wedding but, somehow that changed afterwards. It was a family wedding, and I didn't know anyone there. I haven't met these people before, even though they were family. My cousins were my mom's cousin's nieces and nephews. I talked to them, but there wasn't much to say...just questions like how many siblings you have, you know. Fast-forward to the wedding when people were dancing:

I remember wondering how they are having fun, enjoying themselves. I dunno anymore. I mean its like when you look out at the world and finally realize what you see, it's hard because--how can my soul rest, how can I enjoy, how can I anything, you know?
I’m 17 and in high school, and this sucks. I know this might be surprising coming from a 17 year old, but do take in mind that I am an old soul + an experience this summer made me matured a lot. This combined with the nature of my personality, which is calm and reserved, makes it difficult to know what to say anymore even with my own mother. She’s is somewhat worried, which is not something that I want, because I’ve seemed non-responsive towards her lately. But I don’t know what to do. I need someone to help me, but I don’t know who.

I’m seeing the sudden lack of motivation that has been continuing for the last week or two. It’s not that I am lazy, but nothing is driving me anymore. I try to make myself do my homework, but I’m not fully there or concentrated…merely doing my homework, if I can get myself to half focus on it, as if I am a robot or something. It feels like detachment from myself or something, I dunno. My focus has seemed to just disappear. There is a parable about a donkey that fell in a well, and farmers were shoving dirt at him…because he was old and useless, so why get him out. The donkey he kept climbing and climbing as dirt is being shoved at him, and before long he was up and over the well—and then he ran off.

I’m not exactly sure why I thought of this parable. I know that you might not understand everything I’ve said so far, but I sure could use some guidance.

"Straw Dogs" received immensely positive reviews despite it being incredibly pessimistic (perhaps to the point of misanthropic nihilism.) I have decidedly mixed feelings about Gray's work. I applaud any philosopher who attempts to bring together Western and Eastern philosophy... but I am unsure whether or not Gray has succeeded. What do you think?
