Re: more lyrics, more freedom
Happen to be listening to Cheap Thrills right now. Got to see her on the other end, when she first had moved out west and at the festival in '67.

If you need a philosopher I far prefer Hendrix, Joplin, Marley or Gutrie.

Re: more lyrics, more freedom
Yeah, little thing 'till she opened up. Chubby little thing. But wow, what emotion.

Re: more lyrics, more freedom
Damn right. Who, Dead, Hendrix, Marley, Cream, BBB and BB in particular all should be seen live.

I've realized this is not the right place for the level of discussion I am bringing, noone here knows who Sartre is, let alone any philosopher.
​
He was either an aspiring cookbook writer or the classic automobile mechanic, continuing to strive and bill the customer all the while recognizing the futility of ever getting the car to function properly and the inability of the bourgeois to recognize and accept that futility. As a sign of his contempt for the bourgeois he goes ahead and cashes the customers check in protest and drinks to the future enlightenment of man in a wine too heady and exalted for plebian tastes.
​
His words in On Genocide, the indictment of the Vietnam war by an independent council is another great read. edit: very hard to find.
​
Hint, Google "On Genocide" +sartre
​
However the bourgeois may be unable to recognize what is returned. How will they know that it is an indictment without you to tell them?
​
So I won't attempt to post anything at all again, this forum's foundation is built upon a subject too broad, breeds an environment lacking intellectuals.
​
You are right. I have noticed that most intellectuals avoid broad foundations believing that if the pyramid is built correctly, the point will be at the base alowing the broad platform at the top as a place where intellectuals may stroll about.
​
Pleasant views from up there I hear.

Re: In defense of Kantian ethics (response to Sartre's critique in Existentialism
As to kantian ethics--it falls along the categorical imperitive--you do what is right because it is the right thing to, and you make that decision by asking this:would the entire world work if everyone did this?
hence, suicide is wrong. hence, stealing is wrong. hence, war is wrong. kantian ethics can handle anything thrown at it.
​
Well, I wouldn't go that far. As with so many such ideas it only works if first EVERYONE adopts the same principles.

Re: a priori knowledge
Do you know why 2 + 2 = 4 before you have learned the concept of adding?
​
Actually there have been some great recent studies that seem to imply that the answer might be yes.
