What Is Philosophy For Anyway? ~~~ Philosophy is, most often, the examination of basic assumptions using critical thought, logic. The philosopher can show that something is impossible before the scientist sucks public money for attempting to build the impossible. Most scientists, in my experience, dislike philosophers, just for that reason. Philosophy is the application of critical thought.

William S Burroughs Francis Bacon Documentary 1026am 17.9.24 a black hole? it has laws which are applicable to it. it mirrors the aquatic depths. no matter how discordant those scientists say it is. you get my drift. they'll seek to control it. like he feared they would death with their atomic warheads... as they wipe out your soul. communistic attitude to death these scientists. so we'll say it does not adhere to any law lest they all begin to track and map and scrutinize and delve and kill... erase.... destroy.

I love the fact that Burroughs was so elegant and cool (and growing old, looking more and more like some kind of quiet business man, a little bit like Marcel Duchamp) and at the same time probably the most daring and radical and underground writer of the magic super trio (my idols !! :) of the Beat generation : Kerouac, Ginsberg, Burroughs :) Anyway this doc is priceless, so thank you so much ! :)

It was genuinely nice to see a happy and functional family. Full of shared moments, reasonable reactions, and room to grow and share. Not TV-happy, not a forced family, or a broken family. Not just the people you go home to everyday, but the people you share your life with. Wonder how everybody is doing now from this family. Also, that is correct. A clean pussy is, in fact, a happy pussy.

Indeed. I think we are just at the start of it really when the porno, high definition, violence gets going in virtual reality. Anybody under 35 now seems totally immersed in their phones and social media. It's pernicious because creeping. You wake up and slowly discover you can no longer book a ticket, check the weather without an app, a phone and so on.
