inspired by the hyperlink…..

What does it mean for something to be?

Just a simple little question?

What parameters really make something into an existing thing?

What do we say about what lets anything be a thing at all?

The answer is that those aren’t separate questions.

To be means to be a this-thing or that-thing. Except we moderns want to object. We assume that first the world exists and then we divide it into categories.

If you’re going to exist, you have to exist as something — a table, a human, a piping hot bowl of gravy.

Thinking that the meaning of things (the table as a table) as separable from their existence (the table as a thing) is a path that leads to the triviliazation of meaning.

Say you want to know what makes a person [for instance] real, you have to see how this being is human…which means understanding them within a category (animals) with differentiated sub- categories (the animals that are rational).

Thus, taxonomy and existence are fused: To be is to be in a taxonomy of meaning.

We think there’s a real world that our taxonomies lie on top of but we must understand the modern distinction we draw; that a world apart from the categories of understanding would be by definition unknowable.

so………

Knowledge is the way the world shows itself to us in all its beauty and order.

HAPPY B-DAY KAZ!!!!

in other news….


let me tell you a story…..

it goes like this….

we are spending close to 400 billion dollars on the military for 2005.
http://www.defenselink.mil/news/Jan2004/d20030123budget.pdf

another [almost] 200 billion dollars for this botched and pointless iraq war….[and we are hardly finished with this one]
http://washingtontimes.com/upi-breaking/20040701-024236-4063r.htm

we seem to be forgetting that the terrorists came to US shores for 9-11-01 and attacked us on our own land, so why are we spending only 500 million on various domestic security measures. [scanning shipping containers/coast guard, etc]
http://usgovinfo.about.com/library/weekly/aadhsfunding.htm

Seems bush and co [and most others] have lost all sense of reality to me?

Let me repeat this again…..

400 billion = 400,000,000,000 divided by 280 million Americans = close to $1450 per individual.

200 billion = 200,000,000,000 divided by 280 million Americans = close to $715 per individual.

$1450 + 715$ = $2165
[this assumes that even 2 year olds are capable of forking over the loot for the bill]

in turn…..
500 million = 500,000,000 divided by 280 million Americans = close to $1.80 per individual

Do you realize how much it would cost the USA and every American if someone shipped just one nuclear device in a shipping container and it exploded in any city within the USA? [Beyond the horrible death and devastation of such attack, I mean...]

Every international shipping port in the USA would be shut down immediately and our borders completely closed…… essentially halting all trade and commerce within the USA, in effect shutting the USA economy/system and the American people down.

Can you imagine the cost and the price each of us would pay dearly?

Civil rights, standard of living, way of life and otherwise….

Seems we are focusing abroad when we should be focusing on the homeland to me…….
