a.
Recently read that the word soul and immortality
are rarely used nowadays in philosophical essays.
b.
since the advent of materialism, continuing with scientism and technology
*the new super computer can do a quant trillion computations a second…whatever that means…
c.
some are predicting that consciousness will evolve from carbon to silicone…
i.e. eventually technology will become part of us and then supersede us…
this seems to be our current course…
already social networks are creating new nervous systems…
and perhaps machines don’t have souls…
so modern philosophy is unsure
obviously i don’t know…
d.
immortality is a different question…
i have had the experience of being conscious of myself in ways others could not see first hand…my own unique personal perspective
and i believe most have had this experience…
which has led some philosophers to believe there is something beyond the physical body…
perhaps as a Buddhist believes or a spiritualists or a Muslim,or a Jew or a Christian.
e.
Everything thing is relative,
we believe everything so we believe nothing
we amend this spiritual vacuum by pretending
it doesn’t exist
atheism has won the day…or at least the debates…
f.
when things are going well you don’t pray to god…
over 10 million baby boomers will live to be a 100…
for them it has only gotten better…
what a lucky generation…
they say it was hard work…
and until recently it has always been hard work…
g.
only in late capitalism does the excess of the system allow for so many to have so much…
and this will go on for a while…
she’s a run away train…that nobody dare stop…
h.
super power with Obama in the chair…
sounds like a lot of young people are democrats
perhaps the old guard will die off
i
if it is an industrial military complex,
as some have suggested…we are
looking for ways to kill one another more efficiently
i believe we call it protection
j.
what a strange race…
On a personal note
a.
watched a football game today…
the old dog killer was a quarterback…
but he lost.
b.
cooked a roast
in a casserole dish
half filled with water
and a large onion
for three hours.
it took so long
i ate a box
of Triscuits
and felt sick
c.
blogging is ridiculous
but i must go on…
