"As we've seen, a rat being shocked activates a stress response. But a rat being shocked who can then bite the hell out of another rat has less of a stress response." - Robert M. Sapolsky, |

The ownmost nonrelational possibility not-to-be-bypassed is certain. The mode of being certain of it is determined by the disclosedness corresponding to it. But Da-sein discloses the certain possibility of death as possibility only by making this possibility as its ownmost potentiality-of-being possible in anticipating it. - M. Heidegger, 1927 |

Sounds a bit wanky to me; and debatable. |

Heidegger is definitely a wanker. Weirdly, enough, if you master his technical vocabulary what he's saying is pretty straight-forward and down to earth. In that passage he's basically simply indicating that the knowledge of our own future death/mortality is certain and thus not empirically derived from the empirical fact that other people die. And he's saying that our life's projects are formed by being limited by death. |

"Being and stability are regarded by our contemporaries as akin to death; they cannot live unless they act, fret, or distract themselves with this or that. Their spirit (provided we can still talk about a spirit in their case) feeds only on sensations and on dynamism, thus becoming the vehicle for the incarnation of darker forces." - Julius Evola |

"I am your lord and saviour. I created the heavens and the earth. You are all my children, created in my image... ...that said, I've REALLY got a complex about my foreskin, so if you will, Abraham, just pass on that I'd like everyone from now on all to slice a bit off at birth, that'd be great. Thanks, k, caio. :)" - God |

the longest sentence in kant criqitue of pure reason: In truth, if the empirical philosopher had no other purpose in the establishment of his antithesis than to check the presumption of a reason which mistakes its true destination, which boasts of its insight and its knowledge, just where all insight and knowledge cease to exist, and regards that which is valid only in relation to a practical interest, as an advancement of the speculative interests of the mind (in order, when it is convenient for itself, to break the thread of our physical investigations, and, under pretence of extending our cognition, connect them with transcendental ideas, by means of which we really know only that we know nothing)--if, I say, the empiricist rested satisfied with this benefit, the principle advanced by him would be a maxim recommending moderation in the pretensions of reason and modesty in its affirmations, and at the same time would direct us to the right mode of extending the province of the understanding, by the help of the only true teacher, experience. |

bah formatting: If the empirical philosopher had no other purpose in propounding his antithesis than to subdue the rashness and presumption of those who so far misconstrue the true vocation of reason as to boast of insight and knowledge just where true insight and knowledge cease, and to represent as furthering speculative interests that which is valid only in relation to practical interests (in order, as may suit their convenience, to break the thread of physical enquiries, and then under the pretence of extending knowledge to fasten it to transcendental ideas, through which we really know only that we know nothing)--if, I say, the empiricist were satisfied with this, his principle would be a maxim urging moderation in our pretensions, modesty in our assertions, and yet at the same time the greatest possible extension of our understanding, through the teacher fittingly assigned to us, namely, through experience. It's actually not as long as i thought it would be, but its pretty long, ~160 words-ish? |

Ha ha! Fair enough. There’s too many to think of and make a chart, so I’ll go with this Albert Camus one: “Don’t walk in front of me, I may not want to follow, don’t walk behind me, I may not want to lead, just walk beside me, and be my friend.” |

"Truly fertile Music, the only kind that will move us, that we shall truly appreciate, will be a Music conducive to Dream, which banishes all reason and analysis. One must not wish first to understand and then to feel. Art does not tolerate Reason." Albert Camus |

And then it happened—the attack, the trance, Or one of my old fits. There sat by chance A doctor in the front row. At his feet Patly I fell. My heart had stopped to beat, It seems, and several moments passed before It heaved and went on trudging to a more Conclusive destination. Give me now Your full attention. I can’t tell you how I knew—but I did know that I had crossed The border. Everything I loved was lost But no aorta could report regret. A sun of rubber was convulsed and set; And blood-black nothingness began to spin A system of cells interlinked within Cells interlinked within cells interlinked Within one stem. And dreadfully distinct Against the dark, a tall white fountain played. I realized, of course, that it was made Not of our atoms; that the sense behind The scene was not our sense. In life, the mind Of any man is quick to recognize Natural shams, and then before his eyes The reed becomes a bird, the knobby twig An inchworm, and the cobra head, a big Wickedly folded moth. But in the case Of my white fountain what it did replace Perceptually was something that, I felt, Could be grasped only by whoever dwelt In the strange world where I was a mere stray. And presently I saw it melt away: Though still unconscious, I was back on earth. The tale I told provoked my doctor’s mirth. He doubted very much that in the state He found me in “one could hallucinate Or dream in any sense. Later, perhaps, But not during the actual collapse. No, Mr. Shade.” But, Doctor, I was dead! He smiled. “Not quite: just half a shade,” he said. - Vladimir Nabokov, Pale Fire |
