In The Land Of Nod, East Of Eden: Where Fire Does Not Play. A Biblical Exegesis. Identification Number: 467 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Miniaturk_009.jpg Preview: [Beyond Love And Hate] "What have you done with your life?" If that's the question, how do we define a life well employed? Doing good? But what is doing good, what's the standard or the "rules" that need to be employed in order to assess it? And how much good is enough good and good enough? I am not saying good oughtn't to be done: I am saying I am unsure about how many things which are moot we may be passing under that label. Also: "what this (life) is all about, is teaching us to love" - but this notion appears a simplism to me, for love is a word one can hardly disagree with. And personally I don't find particularly enticing spending a whole time playing a blissful harp. What about knowledge, what about adventure, what about challenge, what about Wisdom? Is "love", perhaps, just a byword we conveniently use to summarize all those concepts? If so it would be legitimate, and yet I have seen this rarely explicated: what I have seen frequently, instead, is mentioning "love" as an a... read more: click here Author: A Visitors: 367 Tagged by its author as: Religion Esoterica and Spirituality List topics of this author only (450) : click hereThis author also has: a Blog Analisi comparata dei tre pesi massimi con maggior numero di flash ko dal 1969 Identification Number: 466 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Miniaturk_009.jpg Preview: Analisi comparata dei tre pesi massimi con il maggior numero di flash ko dal 1969 per determinare, per quanto possibile, quale fosse più efficace (non dico "potente" che è un termine discuitible) [Carriere complessive] Foreman 76 vittorie (32 entro la 2a) 5 sconfitte Tyson 50 vittorie (31 entro la 2a) 6 sconfitte Shavers 74 vittorie (43 entro la 2a) 14 sconfitte 1 pari [Flash KO nelle carriere fermate al match 58] Per effettuare una analisi più corretta fermiamo quelli che sono i 3 massimi con più flash ko al numero di incontri di quello che ha combattuto di meno, cioè Tyson, che ha disputato in tutto 58 match Tyson 58 incontri di cui 31 vinti entro la 2a (53%) Foreman fermato a 58 sono 27 vinti entro la 2a (46%) Shavers fermato a 58 sono 32 vinti entro la 2a (55%) Tyson e Shavers sono identici. Se contiamo gli incontri completi senza fermarsi a 58 prevale Tyson del 5%, se invece fermiamo Shavers a 58 incontri come Tyson, allora prevale Shavers del 2&... read more: click here Author: A Visitors: 493 Tagged by its author as: Boxing List topics of this author only (450) : click hereThis author also has: a Blog Fighting Competently: Anticipation, And Remember It's In His Eyes Identification Number: 465 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Miniaturk_009.jpg Preview: As for guessing from the eyes of your opponent what happens next, indeed you can do that - and with an amazing degree of precision. Though I agree that one needs to have a considerable experience. But when you say that when fighting you cannot fathom what's coming by looking into the eyes of your opponent because fighting is not "falling in love", I think that you may have misunderstood me. I wasn't saying that it's in his kiss - I said in his eyes. I am not fantasizing, and I am not staring into the eyes of my opponent because i find him handsome... I do that because I can know with precision that whatever he is trying to conceal, it is going to be leaked and betrayed right there. It has once been written that «nothing is more obvious in a man than what he tries to conceal»: whatever he may be trying to conceal is gonna be released exactly from his eyes. Unfortunately, that is a somewhat "esoteric" knowledge that you won't retain after your initiation: if you quit fighting (w... read more: click here Author: A Visitors: 628 Tagged by its author as: Advice: Martial Arts and Self Defense List topics of this author only (450) : click hereThis author also has: a Blog La Musa Segreta: Superiorità Onnipervasiva Della Boxe Identification Number: 464 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Miniaturk_009.jpg Preview: A Muhammad Ali, l' astronauta della boxe====[I Sottintesi Della Boxe] Gli sport sono di due tipi: ci sono gli sport, e poi c'è la boxe. Lontana, ed in cima alla vetta. Come disse George Foreman: La boxe è lo sport cui tutti gli altri sport aspirano. Ed ha ragione. Se l'obbiettivo dello sport è dimostrare la idoneità dell' essere umano a vincere ostacoli naturali trabordanti (non proclama forse il motto olimpico: Citius, Altius, Fortius?), allora cosa è più quintessenziale ai fini della massima sinteticità ideografica di tale rappresentazione che disimpegnare l' essere umano da ogni paludamento coreografico, sottrarlo ai soccorsi di qualsivoglia collettività di squadra e ad ogni possibilità di diluire la pressione agonistica deferendo il gioco ad un collega, per contrapporlo isolato di fronte all' ostacolo naturale più temibile ed incalzante di tutti: un altro esse... read more: click here Author: A Visitors: 1,648 Tagged by its author as: Boxing List topics of this author only (450) : click hereThis author also has: a Blog Ha Senso Il Doping Sportivo? Effetto Matteo Nello Sport E Business Sportivo Identification Number: 463 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Miniaturk_009.jpg Preview: C'è una soluzione alternativa al doping? C'è. Anzichè fare gare fra chi si dopa meglio (vince chi ha l'analista chimico migliore e non le migliori gambe: stiamo gareggiando non più fra atleti, ma fra centri farmacologici), facciamo le gare tutte fra atleti naturali abbassando piuttosto la soglia delle aspettative in termini di record. Ma il vero problema di queste cose è che ogni sport movimenta un business tanto di spettatori e diritti televisivi quanto di scommesse, per cui si cerca di dare in pasto al pubblico quanti più spettacoli possibile. Se si ricorre sempre agli stessi atleti per sfornare il numero di spettacoli crescente che la logica del profitto crescente impone, questi atleti possono sentirsi costretti (spesso per emulazione, o per non farsi sopraffare da chi si avvale di un vantaggio non derivato dagli allenamenti) a doparsi per reggere una frequenza di gare (cioè di show business e scommesse) massacrante. Creiamo dunque dei regolamenti c... read more: click here Author: A Visitors: 1,640 Tagged by its author as: Sport Activities and Apparels List topics of this author only (450) : click hereThis author also has: a Blog The Musicians Within The Music Box And Other Hereafter Stories Identification Number: 462 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Miniaturk_009.jpg Preview: [The Musicians Within The Music Box] «Either heaven objectively exists or it does not» Well, not really so: it may exist, but... subjectively. It is a common misunderstanding to apply to heaven (I prefer the term afterlife) the category of objectivity. Currently there is simply no way to determine in any scientific fashion wether an afterlife exists: so I am fine if you say it doesn't. Even the term afterlife rings heinous to a few, but the fact is: we sorely lack a better term. So we must grin and bear the fact that by the inadequate term "afterlife" we may be nonetheless dealing with a potential scientific paradigm whose contours we are still unable to define and comprehend properly. And the reason we miss a better term is that we miss something even more substantial than words: we miss the right metaphor, upon which the right words can thrive and be ultimately and convincingly established. We need an amphibious metaphor that may ignit... read more: click here Author: A Visitors: 3,069 Tagged by its author as: Religion Esoterica and Spirituality List topics of this author only (450) : click hereThis author also has: a Blog Freud And Jung In A Nutshell: Three Or So Shots At Psychoanalysis For Dummies Identification Number: 461 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Miniaturk_009.jpg Preview: [Sigmund Freud In A Nutshell] You say that you want to be extremely rational because you have a «visceral hate» for your father, who was religious and therefore «irrational and harmful to me»; eventually you add that you want to make this visceral hate coexist with your rationality because you feel that the former feeds and fuels the latter, and consequently you deem this a form of cooperation. I am glad that you see that it fuels. In fact, it is exactly what it does. Some have even given to it a name: pulsion. Although it fuels disguised enmity, rather than candid cooperation. Now, the problem with pulsions is that they do not act like an impersonal fuel. They do more than merely supporting another system whatever in a purely functional manner. They may corrode and compromise the fueled target, and turn it into their puppet. Like a remote control, you know. This, particularly becasue they keep springing from ... read more: click here Author: A Visitors: 4,510 Tagged by its author as: Psychology List topics of this author only (450) : click hereThis author also has: a Blog Division The Math Of Gods: Ambiguities Of Antanairesis And New Math Operations Identification Number: 460 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Miniaturk_009.jpg Preview: 3*2 *** *** 2*3 ** ** ** The two expressions are not really equivalent, though we may be used to deem them such: the former may mean we distribute 3 by 2 dimensions. The latter we distribute 2 by 3 dimensions. Division (related to the Greek antanairesis and its various spells) means once again to distribute a number N of items along as many Dimensions as number D prescribes: N\D The operation has the same intention of a multiplication, but is more ambiguous. N/D does that mean (1) overall/items=dimensions to allocate or (2) overall/dimensions to allocate=items? These operations are implicitly creating dimensions to allocate. At this point, if you see the thing in this perspective, you can envision dozens of new mathematical operations (of which the "standard" division and multiplication are just one instance, I have no idea whatsoever why the one preferred), dep... read more: click here Author: A Visitors: 4,718 Tagged by its author as: Methematics List topics of this author only (450) : click hereThis author also has: a Blog The Meaning Of Cruelty Identification Number: 459 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Miniaturk_009.jpg Preview: Originally Posted by *** «As cruelty is part of life, why does it matter if people are cruel?» Uhmmm cruelty is not part of life, for it is rather an interpretation (ours) of life and of some acts performed within it: trivial case, you see the lion devouring the gazelle, and you label it "cruel". However this is a consideration that you cannot extend in order to lend it to human cruelty and justify man-made cruelty by its agency, proclaiming cruelty a tendency necessarily or fatally ingrained in all natural beings inasmuch as also the lion, that is an instance of Nature as much as we are, was supposedly acting "cruel". Which is what is normally done in order to "justify" cruelty. Why can't you? Because, as said, cruelty is an interpretation, not a fact: a quintessentially human intellection that unambiguously exists on its own right, and that only at a second moment, once it has been mentally processed and it has ... read more: click here Author: A Visitors: 5,278 Tagged by its author as: Philosophy Reviews List topics of this author only (450) : click hereThis author also has: a Blog Dÿanèra Ad Eleusi: La Folgorazione Ontologica: Il Pensare Sistematico E Non Identification Number: 458 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Miniaturk_009.jpg Preview: «Si potrebbe dire che ciò che differenzia la filosofia antica dalla filosofia moderna sia il fatto che, nella filosofia antica, non siano soltanto Crisippo ed Epicuro a essere considerati filosofi, poichè hanno sviluppato un discorso filosofico, ma sia considerato tale ogni uomo che viva secondo i precetti di Crisippo o di Epicuro.» (Pierre Hadot) «Liberazione al solo udire» (Bardo Thos Grol) La asistematicità nel pensiero, ovvero la apparente inidoneità a perseguire una trattazione od una dimostrazione in maniera tanto esaustiva quanto logicamente inappuntabile e rigorosa, viene di solito addebitata ad una deficienza nel pensatore. In realtà simile imputazione cela, inavvertito, un pregiudizio assiologico: e cioè quello di colui che, denunciata la presunta asistematicit... read more: click here Author: A Visitors: 6,005 Tagged by its author as: Philosophy Reviews List topics of this author only (450) : click hereThis author also has: a Blog
