obsrvr524 > So here is a link to his discussion based on physics and psychology aptly named: Physics of Psychology - James’ thoughts on psychology are broader than what I have posted here - I can make further posts as needed to help make things even more clear - I will leave that to you to let me know if that is required or not.
It is not too difficult to understand. People generally make understanding things difficult by themselves through overthinking things - this is something James and I agreed upon.
Please note his caution: “Ethically, one must be careful of what is said concerning real psychology in such an environment as this, but I would like to propose a concrete analogy between particle physics and the far more vague field of psychology. Understand that this is not about what professional psychologists understand, but rather a completely new ontology of psychology from which the entire subject of psychology can be founded (or rebuilt).”
obsrvr524 - I don’t think that discussion is useful so let me just post some stuff here for you. However…here is the link to that discussion: Autumn Asphodel
A link to this post: https://ilovephilosophy.com/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=193560&p=2685157#p2685249 - he is not saying that the whole field is bad necessarily - this can trip some people up - again if they start overthinking “it” or applying their own meaning to what he is saying. Applying our own meaning to what other people say is unavoidable - it is the source of our most common mistakes - we can of course mitigate this problem.
I hope this is useful to you obsrvr524 - I am happy to elaborate on things or simplify things if needed. I can also link to and/or post related thoughts.
I can appreciate this…I was only clarifying my position.
The thread is public - I don’t take ownership of threads that I create. For this reason, you are welcome to say whatever you want from my point of view.
It’s not that complicated. We act out when we have no hope. What I mean by this, and I know that you know that I said this… existence is violating everyone’s consent in some way, shape or form.
Monkey see, monkey do.
When people act out existence, they’re just modeling what they see.
Very common. Lots of different ways to do it.
When you tell existence “fuck you” and do the work of not modeling it… your mind becomes something so beautiful.
I don’t believe existence is perfect - this is a viewpoint. I shift my viewpoint to suit the situation - I am only a person with a job to do.
I don’t have a full-scale philosophy - just a way to live to help me get through this crappy life. I am certainly not on ILP to change you or anyone else.
I came here to learn from philosophical types. Some people look at me the wrong way - commonly assuming what I am.
James hated “god wannabes”. Why? Psychology. He hated himself. He was projecting. Very basic psychology. He was a god wannabe. That’s why he railed on them so hard.
We also use projective strategies to help us understand others - maybe dodging our own self-judgment in the process. Using one’s predictions about oneself as a proxy for others works only when one can reasonably expect another person to respond similarly to a situation. I think you and James were very different people(looking from the outside) and therefore it is too difficult for me to know exactly what either of you thought of each other - I can only take your word for it because James never actually said anything bad about you to me. I did see over time that some people had a problem with him and he and I fought on one occasion but it did not bother me enough to have a lasting effect.
Well, I am not gonna lie - I have been mad at a couple of people here over time - currently, I am annoyed with peacegirl for instance, and the last one I remember before her, was eaglerising if I recall correctly.
I don’t know, this could be a different kind of mad though…but yeah…James tried.
Zookers this could take a while for me to absorb. My focus on here is already pretty intermittent and with those other two threads referenced, James get pretty deep and there is a ton to unpack -
Schizophrenia
Genderbending
Personality shifting
Memory
Mental illness
Perception of Hope and/or Threat: Emotional Charge
PHT Attraction
PHT Repulsion
General Relativity (even )
Emotional Distance
gravitational migration
charge emoting
Random Propagation
Chaotic Propagation
A PHT Universe
Speed of Propagation
Inertia and Impedance
PHT social propagation and Socio-chemistry
Mass and Memory
Trauma and Fear
Impedance Mismatching
Anentropy of Charged Particles
Wave Propagation
MCR
The Impenetrable Wall - An Exclusion Barrier
Particle Annihilation
Psycho-Impedance Exclusion Barrier
Psycho-mass
Socio-Impedance Exclusion Barrier
The Schooling of Emma
And all as it relates to psychology (of all things) with a lot of good questions between from you, gib, Mithus, and Arminius. I feel like I am back at university going after a new degree.
I feel like an expert at interpreting James but this could take a while - give me some time to find time to concentrate enough to get through all of this.
Just s quick note - Ecmandu seems to feel free to lie about many people. He has lied about what James said. He has lied about what I have said. I have told him that I am now ignoring all of his posting (I only know about it now because you quoted him).
I imagine there is a Jamesian psychological cause behind his behavior (I can sense it). I’ll see if James covers this kind of thing - some kind of self-hatred and projecting thing. He would probably make a good case study.
