`_` AAwww heck yeah,I love this part of this song http://youtu.be/a69QQwI6F4w?t=5m1s .This https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ekOznhZkhU song "Brights eyes" is a "calm down" song for me

The fallacy of relative privation/http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AppealToWorseProblems ,I have identified.No longer will it be a source of fatalistic statements...

saying that :| ,saying stuff like that sorta feels like lying to me at times.B/c you wanna get rid of it but cant guarantee that it will be gotten rid but you wanna do it but if you don't your left with it,what you said was a lie and it might've stuck with you b/c of the "badness"/by the "vice" (I'm saying that funnily instead of "by virtue of") of lying which is something you didn't want to be true,something you worked toward trying to not let be true but it manifested itself and can be called a lie as a result.

.. :| a long time ago someone said "he [I] think in circles".I hate being written off like that ""=_=.If your gonna do that plz at least give a thorough explanation like I like'em.Than again I'm NOT entitled to such a thing am I :? ?.

I don't like how I fixate on the bad things from the high school I graduated from.~5 yrs now and about to be shut down in like ~2 .Why the heck :? fixate on that,when SO much good was there,so much more comfort and undisturbing-ness unlike the high school before that :? ?.It's gonna get shut down soon anyways so the crowds you knew and remember from those days will have less of a "gathering point" already from that,not that you should revel in that loss of a school,a nice school..

.. :? ugh,I don't know.A factor to be ressolved.

And I feel like saying that in Eastern society,skepticism (in the validity and reliability of your own perception:neurological,sensory or not) is a contributing factor to the emerging of all the stuff about perception in Eastern spirituality,philosophy and religion...even "embodied knowledge"^13 and something to consider when thinking about when looking at esoteric stuff and the worldview that common stuff has many paradoxes open to question [/quote]

When I read a book called "the beginners guide to deconstruction which was mostly about Jacque Derrida,it brought up how his deconstruction has parallels to the Buddhist philosopher Nagarjuna.

There was a nice bit on a tetralemma dismmising fear..and something about how deconstruction can be seen more as a *method* of interpretation than a philosophy in-and-of-itself.A *non-philosophy* like Nagarjuna's stuff which....something,something,something (doesn't?) assert but..(describes?).

I made an audio-log for myself where I read a few parts out lound cuz I thought they were keepers.
There was some stuff about how Zen could be considered Japan's own region vairant of deconstructionism.

In a shortish book called "How to Read Derrida" by Penelope Deutscher,I skimmed it thru except for a chapter about "giving and forgiveness"..b/c dang! :? ,when you think about plenty of philosophers talk about justice and duty but not as many (talk) about forgiveness and mercy,eh :? ?.It still didn't really make much sense to me but among the example of contradictions with "perfect" forgivness (or something like that),the example of how giving is like when you don't expect any reciprocation out of ettique or economics,an example having to do immigration a/o human rights from an Indian woman saying about the topic it was nice :) .

I've heard that you can't love until you learn to forgive... :| ...such a task

If Derrida,a French dude was on like a "convergence point" of a Western philosopher who had developed so radically that he was "starting to"/less dissimilar with Eastern philosophy...hmm.. :roll: man,no wonder he might've sounded particulary convoluted.

^14 That's the thing about the Eurocentric/Western mileu of individualism..it can do affirming/espousement of individuality/individualism (and rebellion) to the point that it's destructive to life..(both to) itself and others.When you try to negate it,it can be so caught up in its (own) "sphere-rolling" that it complains your stifling it when you do.

The stuff I've said on perception can SO apply to being/the quality of being fearless :roll: .[/quote]

it would be better to have said "correct it a/o show the consequential causation it's made" instead of saying "try to negate it"."Try to negate (it's destructive path)" would've been better

:| Maybe,lways being into individualism makes for a different (maybe more active) inclination to unmitigated ridicule.

Other alterations to previously said things?

"it's not until it runs into it's own manifesting paradox or self-contradiction (ex.always being for logic,reason,rationalism,'progressivness' and industrialization has made for enviromental/poor planetary health no one wants to clean (up) on an obliviously unhealthy itself global society".

also it would've been better to say
"who pretend to not be frail limited human animals like anyone else is unshamably suppose to (admit to) be(ing)"

In the previous posting,there's something that can be said about the psychology of motivation there :| ..self-extingushing,where you get psychological energy,societal motorization for stuff..and there I say (self-flatteringly) say it,that posting was an example of a.."melding"? :| ..btw self-forgetfulness,having something favorable or an advantage AND being considerate of others,yourself and existence?..did I just self-defeat myself ;) :roll: :D )

When looking at the past and past social consequences that led to present social consquences,looking at past generations like in generational studies might be helpful or helpful enough as a *start*.

:? Sidetrack, :| for all the methodicalness you put into the mundance,social and human don't forget something that Wade Davis taught you in his books that you read ~a decade ago (like "light at the edge of the world").There is a GREAT indescribable emotional and sentimental power that in the ethos of ethnic groups,a particular kind of humanity (authentic..) that radiates from ppl.It's a pity that it's not like we can get every ethnic group beatifully examined and analyzed as they go on moribund..

"White dove" by the Scorpions nicely reuses "the girl with pearls in her hair" 's melody :wink: .
