consciousness again...

Image
 a tool that has been created by exaptation from awareness we that is humans have created our own tools directly from the mind pretty neat stuff evolutionary in fact how did humans acquire this faculty to alter everything in the natural world including themselves the big question my reader at vuw suggested wilhelm dilthey. no, he was up a blind alley and complicated everything with verbose interpretations with no real explanatory power. he probably did his best. so where did this faculty come from.  surveys of current literature have become a morass of more and more speculative assumptions creating an unnecessarily complicated totally  unweildy model that ceases to resemble anything. the answer is not here but a damm good read anyway

bob weir and the grateful dead ripped it up...

Image
 english critics hate them hahahahaha they want neat structured pieces that can be analysed  easily into their components and earnestly discussed. they miss the point. like early and later freddy king and freddie king they never dug it; tough titty. and some of them implied they weren't really up to it well you and I mean you get the chords off ultguit and try and keep up, hehe. besides the dead did not care for amateurs taking a poke  anyway  what a band to know them is to really investigated the whole thing all the duds all the press all the media and to sift out the magic and the gold a worthy task just watch out for fast women fast drugs and fast money.

Bob Weir rip...

Image
 legend has it that Jerry Garcia fired Bob and Bill Kreutzman right at the start for not playing hard enough! I thought that Weir was not in the same class as his bandmate but I did find a VHS callled "CALIFORNIA SCREAMING'' where I was soundly disabused of that notion as he propelled the Dead rhythm section with power and brio on the golden road to unlimited devotion! hehe. farewell dude...

Epictetus...

Image
Epictetus ad 50- ad 135  complained that the first two, desires, duties which are the most important were prone to neglect while overvaluing the third because students are less concerned with achieving moral excellence than with gaining a reputation as disputants. as a result the world is flooded with vain, passionate, fault finding fellows who have so little self mastery that a mouse can frighten them to death, yet they boast the name of philosopher.
