All about Brad McFall.

Brad, Putnam's functionalism I abjure PASSIM and the whole political arenic atmosphere of AI intransigence PACE Dennett. Far from the madding materialists here I sit, waiting a COURTDATE when my uncle strolled in with his Hollywood Harlot. Naturally I was nonplussed en toto as I'm SURE you agree but I will not go into the details of that ineluctable modality of LEGALITY not to mention the dualistic witch-cults and the exigencies of emergent philosophies once called "analytic." One recalls with a whistle of wonder the bygone "games" theory Wittgenstein et al and the Vienna Group. Ancestors abound in the Congregationalist-cum-Presbyterian ORTHODOXY that MURDERED a man that looked like ME for Popery, 1649, somewhere in the Mass. PLANTATION. 50 square miles of prime timber annulled voided by CROMWELL.Consciousness is the same as digestion. The Gricean maxims are BEING severely critcized in the CURRENT literature. Intentionality IS winding its way a la Husserl with added synaptic missiles by Searle and his non-oily ilk in BERKELEY, perhaps the revitalization mentioned approvingly by Dennet of Jaynes and the DAY the Gods fell silent circa 3000 BCE.All is not lost.Peace, RR

Brad, nomenclatorical taxonomies benefitted from the instantiation of speech ACTS (Sacks and Jefferson) AND Chomsky agreed amid his bloody brawls with AI-agents. My own stance LEANS toward Searle and Searle LEANS like an old wagonwheel toward the past as I am SURE you can tell despite his myopia of underestimating the significance of evolutionary BOOTSTRAPS and the overarching black pall that has settled over the metaphysical SPIRIT-VILLAGE since the historical demise of Cartesianism and the failure of Deism in the STATES. YEC-culture cannot SURVIVE another dose of carborator functionalism. I have a metaphorical handgun POINTED at my temple as we speak. Behaviorism didn't die it went underground and MORPHED Skinner's GHOST lives on in the academic politicality of AI and HRMI's despite their trappings of holisticity and plasticity which are just more EUPHEMISMS as we've had poured over out heads like so MUCH Vermont molasses sweet and sticky and VERY insidious.Peace, RR

Exactly. Materialism is about to JOIN dualism in the CEMETARY of concepts. Vitalism is a stone's throw away, next to the grave of Bergson, the Life Force, and the grave of D. H. Lawrence whose gravestone is a genuflecting PENIS. Searle is neither dualist nor materialist, so he SAYS, so I don't know WHAT THE HELL he is. But I do know that consciousness is like digestion and nobody worries about the fact that we are not intimately aware of our digestive processes which for me are often troublesome for I have STOMACH PROBLEMS. The remedy for this is STRONG BEER.This message has been edited by robinrohan, 01-28-2005 16:59 AM

I too have experienced COPIOUS confusions in socio-sexual interfacing which though comic often have tragic results the genre dealing with such issues being woefully inadequate consisting MOSTLY of piecemeal and anecdotal informatory recommendations no coherent PRECISE barometer of anticipated reactions on the PART of the subject to any given ploy being extant. The topic itself seems irreducible to Russellian atomism and so remains UN-UNPARADOXICALIZED. Russell attempted to ground mathematics with his theory of TYPES perhaps unsuccessfullly but without some such DEVICE nihilism creeps into science.As it can also creep into ROMANCE.The above stated description of your aforementioned KISS indicates that you were able to put yourself into such a phsycial attitude toward the subject that in itself is no mean feat. Perhaps you dropped a SPOON under a table as a ruse. I have ATTEMPTED such subterfuges myself but with negligible success the reaction on the part of the subject being usually the opposite of my anticipatory projections.As a result of lack of training in the SCIENCE of SEDUCTION I have squandered many opportunities.No doubt there is some evolutionary reason for the problems of hobbledehoys such as US!

Brad, Derridean deconstructionism can be and often is manipulated into a MARXIST STANCE through the emptying out of the author the individual into a strata of conservative assumptions undercut by Marxist criticism which supposedly makes obvious the CLASS reifications of the culture in which the author was embedded instantiated in any given textual material. Post-structuralism promulgates excesses of radical instability of language because given any term or text there IS always MORE meaning where that came from. The instability of the TEXT is identified with the instability of philosophical grounding as well as the mythic nature of capitalistic reifications (see Foucault on surveillance). Such MYTHS are institutionalized in the WEST as universal which is to say they are financial artifacts. Such deconstructionism lays bare the assumptions of power and class individualism private property,etc.

Brad, Quantum Philosophy makes a mishmash of a non-math aftermath. The universe meaning YOU me your brother my uncle with his Hollywood HARLOT as well as the rest of the known world is FORMALISTIC in nature and anytime there is an ad hoc brawl between the rabbits of common sense and/or sense impressions and the ravens of formalism we all know who is going to win that ubiquitous war. My uncle was on speaking terms with Chomsky until one day at a LINGO LIMBO party he got drunk and denied inborn linguistic TRAITS and moveover came it was a costume party as an AI entity. Chomsky quite naturally threw him out. Derrida drove me out of graduate school I went to a farm in TEXAS and tried to recover what was left of my sanity.Peace, RRThis message has been edited by robinrohan, 02-01-2005 23:44 AMThis message has been edited by robinrohan, 02-01-2005 23:54 AM
