Comments on Air in Philosophy

are you about to go on a shooting spree?

I love the combination of condescension and cluelessness in this post. Well played.

yes, all true, but meanigless because as becker so brilliantly argues, it is a neurotic soul trapped in decaying flesh.

You just cleared a small creative block I had...thank you. :)

Unified Field Theory (believing it's there to be discovered); that's what's next.

I'm not sure which is worse today - Erica's mindless drivel or yours. But at least yours was shorter.

Oh my god, Charles, normally I don't mind your posts -- sometimes I even like them -- but when did you suffer the incident that clearly led to partial amnesia, thus removing your memory of what paragraphs are for?

I'm pretty sure (and don't feel contradicted by my greek lexicon) that you're looking for the word "pneuma" as in "Spirit" not "psyche." Pneuma actually means breath or wind or life itself.

According to my lexicon, "homeric usage gives little support to the derivation from psychw - to blow/breathe."

Kumbaya, Charles, Kumbaya.

charles, you are either:
1) a masochist for subjecting your junior-year-in-college thoughts to this savvy and ruthless crowd, or;
2) strangely impervious to the withering criticism from this savvy and ruthless crowd.

So where does Lucretius fit into this, Charles?

I completely agree with this post. "Air" is among the most underrated songs of the Talking Heads' oeuvre. In order to truly conquer science and return to the state of natural grace advocated by Rousseau, we must all take a bong hit worthy of all seven billion of us, while listing to Fear Of Music in its entirety, using the Earth's atmosphere as a massive and inescapable loudspeaker.

Fear Of Music + Jean-Jacques Rousseau = Air in Philosophy.

"It's the Blimp, Frank! It's the Blimp!"

Just one more glaring example that the government's "war on drugs" is having no appreciable affect on either the availability or use of narcotic substances.
