Sep 22, 2009 - sorry man but what does a libratarian know about anaarchy a movement defined by movements like that of Bakunin or in modern mass cutural movements who resent the government having the right to rule them all the libratarians care about is the right to tax

FreiheitKampfer Says:

Sep 22, 2009 - when you conflate the term for 'lack of despotic government' with a word for 'lacking order or control', then you implicitly assume that government is necessarily tied to order. That is a very dangerous view. The death toll for that mysticism is definitely among the highest if not the highest in all of human history. For that reason, and because people are less likely to take note of that, that's why I gave him a poor rating..

FreiheitKampfer Says:

Sep 22, 2009 - Libertarians are a very mixed bag. Personally, I read Bakunin (among many other things). Libertarian individualism, and all the philosophical premises of libertarian thought sync rather well with leftist anarchist views.. unless of course they get dogmatic, and spout prejudice against the term capitalism and conflating it with corporatism...

Arudoloff Says:

Sep 23, 2009 - Actually thats a question of definition. Physiologically, any quality of nervous input to sensory areas of the brain is a sense. Just some examples: close your eyes and move your thumb to your nose. no problem? right, this proves that there is a sense allowing you to sense the position and angle of your limbs and body, relative to themselves. Its called Proprioception. Also pain is a sense to itself; a burnt finger hurts differently than a sprain or a cut.

Arudoloff Says:

Sep 23, 2009 - 11. proprioception

Sep 23, 2009 - i'm sure this gentleman has already thought of this, but in the instance that the women who hallucinated Kermit, she says that he has no particular barring on her, he has no weight so she didn't understand why he keeps comming back. Is it possible that he keeps appearing BECAUSE she saw him once and thought about him, and he appeared again and it snowballed after that? much like one can hear a word one day but that same word seems to pop up again and again because they are conscious of it.

blugreenblu Says:

Sep 23, 2009 - in the same way some people seem to have the number 23 confess to them in their day to day life or a un/lucky number of any sort. Is it possible that Kermit manifests because this women semi-obsesses about him being unimportant?

blugreenblu Says:

Sep 23, 2009 - i think he was just using anarchic in terms of visions seemingly lacking governance by the brain, lacking coherence. anarchic, all-over-the-map visions.

Sep 23, 2009 - Yes, and if someone is sinister, they're being left handed... Semi-decent tirade until you misunderstood how words evolve.

VagabonNinja Says:

Sep 27, 2009 - Well I think these "hallucinations" have some reality to them. Perhaps by some process of the mind, they "guessed" that they were going to see the number 23 on which days. Perhaps in their everyday life, they see this number a lot, then they get their minds to focus on it involuntarily. Maybe this relates to hallucinations whereas hallucinations is a stronger rendering of the minds faculties to this process. There are many monotonous things that people ignore in an average day.

blugreenblu Says:

Sep 27, 2009 - tirade? i understand how words evolve. you're reading too much into his.

blugreenblu Says:

Sep 27, 2009 - sorry friend, i don't know if i'm misunderstand what you are saying or the other way around haha (most likely my fault). but to clearify on my side, i wasn't talking of the number 23 being an actual hallucination. i was saying that some people say that it appears on street signs, bill boards, t.v. etc. and those people think it means something. but infact they are noticing it everywhere because they THINK it means something. i was wondering if hallucinations manifest for this lady because...

blugreenblu Says:

Sep 27, 2009 - she's constantly thinking about Kermit, regardless of whether or not he has some sort significance. the women is constantly thinking of him so could that be why he manifests in her hallucinations so often?

Sep 28, 2009 - haha I love to touch other girls boobs... it's so hot!

Oct 4, 2009 - 13:50 "There is a part of the brain which is especially activated when one sees cartoons. It is activated when one draws cartoons, when one watches cartoons, and when one hallucinates them." Could someone elaborate on which part is activated, what the lasting effects of this may be, and if there are similar occupations or observations which trigger the same region as cartoons? ...is this a good thing? --I like drawing cartoons...what's going on with my brain when I draw them? : )))

letsgetjiggyniggy Says:

Oct 16, 2009 - you focus...

oceanbluesky Says:

Oct 16, 2009 - how do you know this? I wrote to him asking...specifically about drawing cartoons...has he elaborated upon this explicitly elsewhere? thanks

letsgetjiggyniggy Says:

Oct 16, 2009 - im very sorry but i was being a smart ass, i made that comment before i watched this, sorry..

jonotick Says:

Oct 18, 2009 - wow that is exactly what I had as a kid, and yes usually during fevers. It is so hard to explain, but what you said sounds about right, i'd have to go from one corner of I dunno my room/the earth/the universe and as soon as I finally go to the other side I realised I actually had to be back on the other side, only it was now twice as far away as it was previously. repeat endlessly.

Oct 27, 2009 - 666 ratings!!! this is the devils work. whohhahahaha

Bedeekin Says:

Oct 29, 2009 - I had the same sort of fever induced hallucination but it was like I had to endure infinite massiveness and infinite smallness at the same time... it was horrible... like I/the room/the universe was shrinking and expanding... collapsing and exploding... euuuurggh!
