Jul 29 at 15:44 comment added Rushi True @ScottRowe. I guess we have to live our truth(s)? I may derive inspiration from Aristotle 2 millenia ago or Kurt Vonnegut 20 years ago. Bur I cannot skimp on living my own life!
Jul 29 at 15:01 comment added Scott Rowe @Rushi seafood is best fresh, wine and cheese improve (up to a point) with age. All of it becomes inedible after eating. How do we have our truth and eat it too?
Jul 29 at 11:58 comment added Rushi And @ScottRowe: I believe Galileo was adamantly skeptical about the moon affecting the tides. Do you class Galileo along with Aristotle as unscientific? IOW between 2.5k years Aristotle and 500 years Galileo,Newton etc why privilege 500 over 2500? By human age standards both are a bit old dont-cha-think?
Jul 29 at 11:28 comment added Rushi To "Matrix": Aristotle-IANISM is of course important to (western) philosophy. I don't see how that translates to Aristotle the person being central to philosophy. For all we know the guy who wrote 'Aristotle' may not be Aristotle. Just as the starting five books of the bible not be the creation of the figure IN those books called Moses. So???
Jul 29 at 11:24 comment added Rushi @ScottRowe Gurdjieff enumerates the 4 factors that determine all human issues: 1. mother-in-law 2. digestion 3. John Thomas 4. Cash. In less slangular language 1. relations 2. health 3. sex 4. finances. Have these essential human concerns changed at all in the last 2.5 millenia? I'd be interested in seeing that news!!

Jul 28 at 14:30 comment added Scott Rowe The wine and cheese model of knowledge :-) I guess they're not big on computers or space exploration.
Jul 28 at 14:27 comment added TheMatrix Equation-balance @ScottRowe - You can tell it to Christians or Jews or Muslims. For them, the older the knowledge, the more truthful it is.
Jul 28 at 14:18 comment added Scott Rowe Maybe we could come up with our own ideas instead of searching for works lost 2000 years ago?
