Gaza Needs "People Pods"

People Pods Advertisement Interlocking insulated panels that make triangular beds that keep in body heat. Having just heard Dr. Oaken on Diane Rehm, I am thinking of people pods that could be set, like the storage pods are, where they are needed, designed for subsistence living. With a little help from the city, Porta-Johns could be emptied regularly, and perhaps electricity hooked up, for a George Foreman grill. Food storage bins could keep out the mice. I want a giant 3-D p

Carl Jung: A Sentence on the Allegory of the Cave in Plato’s Politea (Republic)

In the context of a discussion of the reduction-ism of Freud in the relation of Psychology and poetry, Jung comments on the Allegory of the Cave as a symbol: The true symbol differs essentially from this (a sign or symptom) and should be understood as an expression of an intuitive idea that cannot yet be formulated in any other or better way. When Plato, for instance, puts the whole problem of the theory of knowledge in his parable of the cave, or when Christ expresses the id

On Music: The Rock Commentaries

Still on Wordpress! On the meaning of the lyrics: If I could afford it,* I would publish it as a book- and edit more, too! Jack White's book company did not want to print it! He has LOTS of better books on the meaning of lyrics! (not!. ~.). In the subpages of this section on music, above, in the menu, you will find the Rock Commentaries of the philosophic DJ, spinning the tunes semi-perennially for the reader at the rave outside of the weddings and nightclubs, where most o

Reading Dylan's Sad Eyed Lady

#12 All time lyrics, in Rock Commentaries , Chapter IX Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands Bob Dylan I say: I get about 30% of this song, but that’s OK. No one else gets ANY of it! Who is the sad eyed Lady of the lowlands where the sad eyed prophets say that no man comes? Many find the terminus of the meaning in the name of the wife of Dylan, and even consider this to be their favorite love song. And these should not fear the loss of such a hearing, if they remember that we sa

The Case: On Domestic Law and Rights

Preface: It is very difficult to focus on the plea of an abused individual. No one cares enough to follow what is being said- that is why we pay lawyers, in order to have an advocate. The lawyer-less have no public rights, and no access to the courts at all, but must wait until these things are done to one who has a lawyer- and then policies might be corrected. But as with the case nine or ten years ago, this must be written out for reference, to avoid future harms and in the

Notes on Jung's Red Book, edited

My first impression of the Red Book was that I was disappointed with the Jung, but found myself learning from the Shamdasani introduction, going over the history of Psych material and connecting up with the biographical Memories, Dreams and Reflections . In a note on p. 149, Jung refers to the 4 kinds of divine madness, and the attempt (149-151) to distinguish between the two. Still reading the first section for the first time, my first impression of the Red Book was that i

On Dylan's HardRain

Hard Rain’s A-Gonna Fall One of the most perfect of all American folk songs, “Hard Rain” approaches the prophetic, calling our nation to repentance regarding race, wealth and poverty, and pollution. The song is set in the action of a parent, a mother, asking her troubadour son a series of questions about his travels in the world and in America. The ensuing dialogue fulfills the purpose of folk music that verged on socialism, aiming to make humanity and our nation more just r

According to John Locke, Why is Murder Wrong?

The A.I answer: "According to John Locke, murder is wrong because it is a violation of the natural law . This law is discoverable by reason and teaches that all people, being equal and independent, have a duty to preserve their own life and, as much as possible, the rest of mankind."
