Crispin Sartwell - A Real Philosophy Lecture

This is really great. He makes me think I could actually start studying modern philosophy one day. C.S. Peirce is awesome. I think that going to America cleared the Western mind of a lot of cobwebs.

There's a very nice bit about triangles at 17:25 that my daughter will enjoy. It's for people who have an interest in diagrammatic reasoning. See The Hunting of The Snark - Fit The Fourth: The Hunting and Moritz Klein Doing Real Greek Lego. Google does not find anything on the "the images of a man" except for explicit references to works of C.S.Peirce himself, but I suspect it was Aristotle. I should check, ... See Charles S. Peirce’s Conservative Progressivism, by Yael Levin Hungerford and The Peirce Edition Project: Collected Writings of C.S. Peirce: https://peirce.iupui.edu/edition.html:

“The papers of Aristotle had suffered grievously and were in places illegible; but Apellicon occupied himself with copying and editing them. Tyrannion found that the editing of Apellicon was excessively bad. Ultimately, the peripatetic scholiarch Andronicus of Rhodes undertook the arrangement of the papers, the correction of the text, and the publication of the new edition.”

Charles S. Peirce, CP 7.235, 1901

The man is the sign? That sounds to me like the rather vague idea I had about presentation versus representation. But I probably grossly oversimplied it. See Henri Atlan's Uncommon Finalities in Moritz Klein Doing Real Greek Lego. Also my rambling about Bertrand Russell's Introduction to Mathematical Philosophy and Jan Smuts' Holism and Evolution in this London Grammar video.  For more on jumping about with flags see the lecture on Peirce's (anti-nominalist) realism in Sabine Hossenfelder - Are We Made Of Math? and I have great hopes in Monad representations, if only I could get an idea what they are. See Eugenia Cheng on Monads, Monoids, Algebraic Theories and Models. In Aristotle there is the man, and there is the Musical man, ... but maybe that's just a joke. I thought though that it was a notion of potentiality. See Erica Lee on Dynamic Quality. For an example of dynamic quality see Patrick Mattis' Red to Green Protocol. I am stressed and the hyperlinks or shooting all over the place, ...

Navajo Traditional Teachings - Government Genocide… Was it On Purpose? The Dark Side of Government Help

If you want to insult a Native American, pay him with a US$20 bill, ... See Franklin on the Organisational Skills of English Colonies and Navajo Traditional Teachings on Native American Notions of Sovereignty and The Declaration of Independence. At 5:13 there is some very important information for the Supreme Court of the United States to take into account the effect of letting their judgements be influenced by public opinion!!

I thought I posted these photos from yesterday morning last night, but I can't find them now:

This page has some facts about Jackson's policies towards the Indians. It has a sound track too which you can play while you read it. See what mental images form. If you read John Muir's book Steep Trails then you will get some idea of the scenes, and they aren't typical scenes of homeless people, at least not for me. What Prompted Andrew Jackson to Push Through the Indian Removal Act? Men do not ever need to be convinced that they have no future as warriors!
