Theorem: In order to love freedom one must hate dolphins.

Aye, I favour a tempered post-modern feminism blended with socialist feminism. Also, a thought related to radicalism: I can't believe that Rage Against the Machine used the rhyme "grip the canon like Fanon".

Haha, I could say more I guess. A few night time thoughts: As far as metaphysical versions of freedom go, I think that the naive concept of free will is bunk, in particular the idea that we are free to do anything that we want or, to put it another way, that we could always have acted...

Freedom is the creation of meaning.

Seconded. (p.s. I am currently trying to sneak into one of the Thursday USyd phil courses as part of an infiltration operation)

Let me turn it around - is any knowledge of self a priori? Most beliefs and values stand in relation to the external world. I would also deem one's actions and emotional experiences to be fairly central to one's person. We are world-situated beings. Furthermore, we are embodied.

You need both IMO. Empirical observation in the absence of mathematics, a priori philosophy, and theory in general is likely to yield a fairly minimal science. An interesting question one might ask is whether we can do away with either, e.g. follow Mill in holding that all knowledge is derived...

A woman after my own heart.

This also brings up the general issue of reactive, crisis-oriented services which catch problems late in the game. I agree that in mental health in particular there are strong arguments for intervening during lucid, well-functioning periods to help build coping skills, resilience, etc. I'll...

Below is a new article with a short argument for increased welfare in the mental health sector (which has at least some degree of economic clout). Quoted with 'freedom lovers' in mind: Whacky news source, but it had better data than some of the others I looked at: New eyes needed on...

Please tell this to Zimmerman. Thanks.

But which accidentally makes two copies.

It reminds me of the research findings that people who are obese and/or unnatractive are similarly discriminated against (though in these cases it is during the interview).

People don't submit nearly enough these days.

- For UMAT info see the acer testing website: UMAT - Home ... it is worth getting familiar with the UMAT weightings at different universities. In some cases it is used to cull the applicants (e.g. only applicants with a score above X are considered) while in others it is given a 1/3 weighting...
