It's supernaturalist, because it attempts to impose from without definitions of right conduct, and wrong, which apply then to the within, also called "nature." The person staking that claim may not believe in gods or numina or dialectical historical planning committees, but he is demanding from the rough stuff of life an adherence to a norm which almost always suits his tastes, temperament and often enough, early childhood experiences."<br /><br />I took a turn down a similar path apparently and that's how everything looks to me as well, from where I happen to be walking. <br /><br />One question I have, and it's one I can't myself answer, is this bit about what's made, or what's fake, or what's a social construct. As soon as we use those terms we seem to be setting them up in contrast to something not made, not fake...what's that? Smells like a false dichotomy. We can posit a world completely without humans as the non-fake but that gives humans too much credit for uniqueness. I tend to think the non-human world is as fake or real as humans and vice versa. It's in the language that fakeness arises. maybe, or something, etc.Devin Lendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10122506454377940662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9102937856333775840.post-47493387165837500562012-09-10T01:34:28.697-04:002012-09-10T01:34:28.697-04:00Arka,

There is also romanticism regarding a certain type of “classical” music, I suppose I should have been more specific for one who is so well eddicated as yourself. I see you are still writing novels, perhaps you should take a moment to breath occasionally.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9102937856333775840.post-75444109481895641592012-09-09T23:33:13.202-04:002012-09-09T23:33:13.202-04:00Dozens of openings?

Romanticism fought against the scientifically deterministic outlook of the Enlightenment, and it is typically associated with early-1800s Europe. <br /><br />Jack, this one knows you tend to shy from debate, but let's be the devil anyway. <br /><br />Presume that we have two hundred identical human embryos--like monozygotic twins, but two hundred of them; which sex doesn't matter--and that we introduce a relatively large quantity of steroids into one hundred of them. <br /><br />As the two groups of humans grow into adults: <br /><br />(1) Will we notice any behavioral differences between the steroid-heavy group and the unaltered group? <br /><br />(2) Will we notice any physical differences between the steroid-heavy group and the unaltered group? <br /><br />If you think we won't notice any differences, then we should discuss the effects of steroids on humans. <br /><br />If, however, you think we'll notice some differences: <br /><br />(3) Is calling the group <i>not</i> altered by steroids by a certain term, in order to differentiate them from the steroid-altered group, improper?High Arkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14723123626955733759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9102937856333775840.post-73542422401864789932012-09-09T21:04:50.802-04:002012-09-09T21:04:50.802-04:00The front page of "Manboobz" failed to p...The front page of "Manboobz" failed to provide an example of what you're fighting against.

Being rational is a term that stems from the time of the Renaissance where if a person could understand the mathematics of ratios that person was rational. What we call common sense works for some things but falls apart in other situations. People are driven by emotions for the most part which is a never ending source of opinions on reality, whatever reality is. As has been said before by many almost everything we believe is just nonsense. I have to say I dislike the cultural evolution that has given us the relationship between men and women that exists today, women should stay home and raise the kids, men are strong, women should be barefoot and pregnant and subservient to the great wisdom of men, etc. It is disgusting to me. Romanticism is a human invention much of which stems from books written by idiots in the south eastern area of the US which Mark Twain has written about with much derision as only Twain could. But apparently we are stuck with it and there is nothing natural about it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9102937856333775840.post-23514003772663522192012-09-08T13:32:09.360-04:002012-09-08T13:32:09.360-04:00"So, here's this - and for what it's ..."So, here's this - and for what it's worth, I make no claim to revolutionary insight - there's no observable reason to believe in progress, given how often we all tend to regress, but it says something that the various traditionalists, paternalists and supernaturalists no longer argue as if they're right. They argue, right out in the open, as if they know it's all about who controls the story-making."<br /><br />True enough in the political context, but only because the spokespeople of these various factions have no beliefs or ideology to begin with, save their own success. There are thoughtful, less lazy, folks out there, however that still make an attempt to defend their positions in some kind of rational way.Aboniloxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06370224131559283053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9102937856333775840.post-82750484020277633212012-09-08T13:28:10.546-04:002012-09-08T13:28:10.546-04:00think you're so smart jackie?think you're so smart jackie?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9102937856333775840.post-49052273799429823252012-09-08T12:29:09.119-04:002012-09-08T12:29:09.119-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07224316837055308827noreply@blogger.com
