There are quite distinct categories in his own mind into which he fits trees. Ones he likes and ones he does not like (without reason). Ones that are too easy to climb. Ones that frighten him a little to climb. Ones with a view at the top and ones without. There are also more complicated categories. Trees are alive but not alive as animals are. What is the difference? First, the tree is more accessible. Second the tree is more mysterious. Third, the tree is immovab...") Tag: Visual edit

This is the shadow side of the fortune of love." * "If we feel our way into the human secrets of the sick person, the madness also reveals its system, and we recognize in the mental illness merely an exceptional reaction to emotional prob...")

Often we are barely aware of it, but the play between numerical concepts saturates the way we experience the world. == Family Values == * When we think and when we perceive, just as much as when we count, our mind uses sets. Our possible thoughts and perceptions about these sets can range almost without limit. * Though a set as familiar to our understanding as that of "anima...") Tag: Visual edit

Textbooks are no substitute. You Are What You Say * Words, regardless of their pedigree, make only as much sense as we choose to give them. We are the teachers, not they.

If we accept idealism, if we accept the concrete growth of the perceived, then we shall elude the mise en abime of the paradox. Would this bit of Greek obscurity affect our concept of the universe? -...") Tag: Visual edit

But even if it feels like we are watching our minds work in real time, our introspective access is severely limited: * We see the output, not the process - Your mind generates the result of a thought, and then invents a plausible-sounding reason after the fact to explain why you thought it. * Your conscious awareness is just the thin, sh...")

Or can I? After all, I sympathized heavily with Alvarenga (an illiterate man, lost at sea) - so perhaps, after all, this is the answer to the vexed question of why we should read: so as to anticipate, understand, and so connect with the non-literate realms that surround us - whether we be separated from them by reason of space or ti...")
