Henry George

So besides Wittgenstein, Russel, and Whitehead in the UK, we have in the US William James, John Dewey, and Richard Rorty.

And now we know about the 19th Century economist Henry George.

In the UK we have also had:

Gilbert Ryle en.wikipedia.org

Willard Van Orman Quine en.wikipedia.org

Never thought much of Hobbes, Berkeley, and Hume.

But later in UK,

John Stuart Mill en.wikipedia.org

but I think even more interesting and before him, Jeremy Bentham en.wikipedia.org

"a trend of modern bourgeois philosophy, chiefly Anglo-American, which reduces philosophy to the analysis of linguistic and conceptual (usually considered, in the final analysis, the same way as the linguistic) modes of cognition. Here the philosophic-gnoseological analysis of the modes of cognition which is characteristic of classical philosophy and connected with the fundamental problems of the relation of subject and object is replaced, as a rule, by the investigation of specific scientific problems—logical, logicolinguistic, semiotic, and so on."

So we have UC Berkeley's own Hubert Dreyfus, a Heidegger expert. He was the one who decided that Foucault was the successor to Heidegger, and Dreyfus arranged it so that Foucault would be spending one term per year in Berkeley.

The Foucault died. Well, a few years ago Dreyfus also died.

His book is legendary amazon.com

And it is also legendary how the students would come out of his class staggering, loaded up with glossaries of Heidegger terms, and notes about translation from German.

He has another book I had not know of, actually two of them:

I've listened to Dreyfus give day long talks. First time I heard him I decided that I wanted to know such things as well as he does.

Dreyfus is a critic of Jean Paul Sartre, says he misunderstood Heidegger's Being In Time.

I do not really go along with this, but it is very interesting.

Saturday I reported on a man who had vanished from a 49er's stadium game the previous Monday. Saturday they found a body in the water near the old unused Alviso Marina and some old concrete boat ramps. The stuff is unused because silt comes in from the bay and fills it up.

I have years ago explored all around there. It is interesting, but even in the day time potentially dangerous. I once got stuck hip deep in mud and a shoe came off. Getting my foot back into the shoe I was able to recover it. But I was taking more risks in doing so.

This man was in the military, maybe Special Forces. So likely he handles himself quite well in the outdoors, even at night.

Not sure if any conclusions have been reached, but to me it sounds more and more like a suicide. Left his cell phone, battery run down to zero, in his car at the stadium. Also left his girl friend and her two kids there. But talking on the phone and using video up until the point he vanished.

I believe that police probably have more tidbits of information which they are not going to disclose until they are ready to close the case.

In a homicide it is usually those closest to the deceased who did it, and they are exposed by the contradictions in their stories. To me, this is sounding more and more like a suicide.

Here it sound like he was found at the boat launch, though those concrete ramps are unusable do to silt. thespun.com

"It would be fair to say that there are few twentieth century thinkers who have had such a far-reaching influence on subsequent intellectual life in the humanities as Jacques Lacan. Lacan's "return to the meaning of Freud" profoundly changed the institutional face of the psychoanalytic movement internationally. His seminars in the 1950s were one of the formative environments of the currency of philosophical ideas that dominated French letters in the 1960s and'70s, and which has come to be known in the Anglophone world as "post-structuralism."

So how about this Ananda group here locally, which I have never shown much interest in?

ananda.org

As I know this Palo Alto site is their main place, and they have also been able to buy a Catholic Church property. anandapaloalto.org

" Ananda is a global spiritual movement, based on the teachings of Paramhansa Yogananda, who showed how everyone can realize God in their daily lives as a tangible, loving reality.

You can feel harmony, and God’s active presence in your life through ancient and effective techniques, including meditation, Kriya Yoga, spiritually-oriented Hatha Yoga, community, and divine friendship. Kriya Yoga is a highly effective meditation technique that can be integrated into any meditation and prayer practice.

Ananda was founded in 1969 by Yogananda’s direct disciple, Swami Kriyananda, who passed away in 2013. Swami Kriyananda’s spiritual successor is Nayaswami Jyotish who, along with his wife Nayaswami Devi, serve as Ananda’s Spiritual Directors. You can attend live classes with Nayaswamis Jyotish and Devi online or in person. "

SJG

san_jose_guy7 years ago

Screw Ananda, not worth my time to read any of their stuff at this time. It's just an Eastern flavored version of New Thought, i.e. a denial system.

I remember decades ago when I came to this conclusion about it. This has quickly reminded me of that.

So François Mitterrand was part of Resistance, but rather late. At the end of his Presidency, he lamented that he "might have collaborated".

He was talking about his involvement in something known as La Cagoule

So what was this?

Officially called, "Secret Committee of Revolutionary Action"

So it was a fascist leaning anti-communist trrr*st group formed in 1937 with the aim of over throwing the Popular front of socialist Leon Blume, elected in 1936.

La Cagoule was founded by Eugène Deloncle. Among others, the founder of the cosmetics company L'Oréal, Eugène Schueller, bankrolled the clandestine movement.

The group performed assassinations, bombings, sabotage of armaments, and other violent activities, some intended to cast suspicion on communists and add to political instability. Planning a November 1937 overthrow of the government, La Cagoule was infiltrated by the police, and the national government arrested and imprisoned about 70 men. At the outbreak of World War II, the government released the men to fight in the French Army. Some supported other right-wing organizations and participated in the Vichy government; others joined the Free French of Charles de Gaulle. It was not until 1948 that the government tried surviving members for the charges of 1937.

In Nice, new members were initiated in a formal ritual. In the presence of the Grand Master, dressed in red and accompanied by his assesseurs dressed in black, with their faces covered, new members stood before a table draped with a French flag. A sword and torches were placed on it. Each man raised his right arm and swore the oath, Ad majorem Galliæ gloriam ("For the greater glory of France").[5] This oath echoed the Jesuit motto, Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam (For the greater glory of God). Disloyalty was punished by death. For instance, the arms suppliers Léon Jean-Baptiste and Maurice Juif were murdered by Cagoulards in October 1936 and February 1937, respectively, for attempting to enrich themselves by lying about the price they had paid for the arms.

The paramilitary organization was active in the provinces. In Paris it organized militias and demonstrations, and it amassed arms. They attempted to assassinate Léon Blum, the prime minister. They also trained men in terrorism, built underground prisons, and "ran guns in Belgium, Switzerland and Italy."

Reactions to the plot and the revelations by the French government about la Cagoule varied among the international media. In the United States, the editors of the New York Times were initially suspicious of the accounts.[citation needed] The journalists of Time magazine likened La Cagoule to the American Ku Klux Klan, a right-wing group that had a widespread revival from 1915, reaching its peak of influence in 1925, with members elected to political office in midwestern cities and states as well as the South.

Socialite masquerade of the Cagoule conspiracy after the revelations by the French government in 1937. upload.wikimedia.org

so " When Mitterrand's involvement in these conservative nationalist movements was revealed in the 1990s, he attributed his actions to the milieu of his youth. Mitterrand furthermore had some personal and family relations with members of the Cagoule, a far-right terrorist group in the 1930s. "

Not good. Some do hold this against him today.

I'll read Ananda stuff eventually. I'm sure there is some peripheral good in such reading. But that group and its main line doctrines and the kinds of people it attracts just run right up my spine.

Ananda is on Rick Ross Cult Awareness

Rick Ross book: Rick Alan Ross, "Cults Inside Out"

Cults inside out : how people get in and can get out / Rick Alan Ross. (2014)

To be fair though, anything which opposes Capitalism, is likely doing it by some degree of communalis. And to do this there need to be rules and authority.

So as one cartoon showed the ideas underlying libertarianism, its a guy riding his Harley Davidson around in circles in his living room, without a helmet, while firing his gun up in the air.

Most of the freedoms being espoused are meaningless for most people. Just a stupid ideology.

And besides, my org will be centered around liturgical sex. Bread and wine not needed.

It was actually because of a place I was at in a dream, that I decided to look into Ananda a bit. Actually I have long known about it and just dismissed it.

But the place, it could be elsewhere, even someplace I have never been to, or someplace I will build myself.
