  • Life, The Universe, God (& Donald Trump)
    Having given the matter some thought overnight, I can see where you are 'coming from'. As a blog (a term I dislike, preferring 'essay') I know in my heart this really IS readable. All my years of experience tell me so. Yet it is not YOUR language. This was an ill-fit, which I failed to appreciate when hastily posting. Paragraphing did not suit my Blogger site, where I'm stuck with a very wide editorial base. Do you have any thoughts on Hans J. Eysenck? I took his work to heart when at Uni. When I have thought things through, maybe I'll be back.

    I fear I have posted my essay in the wrong place. Evidentially, based on your corporate reactions, you take your philosophy seriously. But there's no need to deliberately turn away from understanding. Of course a brain is 'corporeal'? Not true in general conversation. You might remark to a child, "For heaven's sake use your brain", in the sense of a thought process, not a lump of matter. And why did each of you seem to think it was difficult to read? Are you joined at the hip? My daughter, a psychology student studying for her Ph.D. in LA, thought my essay beautifully argued. So did I, after 40 years in journalism. Now that I recognise my essay doesn't fit, maybe I can come up with something which will. Studying philosophy for my degree, I enjoyed investigating Hans Eysenck and his personality traits. I shall now see where mine lead. And Trump's just a 'teaser' so next time I can ask, "Did no one guess what my Donald J allusion was about?" All the best, philosophically speaking.
