WHILE YOU CAN SAY THAT WAY IN A POPULAR FASHION, LOGIC ALREADY IS A
PART OF PHILOSOPHY AND NOT THE OTHER WAY; THAT IS WHAT I MEAN
OBSERVING MORE POPULAR APPROACJHES AROUND THE VERY PRINCETON UNI. THAT
IS ALSO WHAT HATO ENGINEERS ARE CONSTANTLY ASKING ABOUT AS A
REFERENCE. THESE STRIVINGS ARE SEEN AT THE FIVU AS BEGINBER'S ISSUES
ONLY. PHILOSOPHERS LIVE THEIR 'FATE' SO TO SAY AND IS NOT THE SAME
LIKE NATO'S. THEY MEDITATE AND PRACTICE WHAT THEY 'PREACH'. THEY CAN
NOT BE MADE OVERNIGHT

LOGIC CAN NOT BE DIFFERENT IN THE MOOD THAT IS THE LANGUAGE AND
UNDERLYING THOGHT AS IT IS ONLY A FORMAL DESCRIPTION / CAPTURE OF
THESE. WE CAN NOT CORRECT IT FROM THE STANDPOINT OF LOGIC THAT WELL;
AT FOREMOST WE DO NOT NEED TO DISTORT THESE.

THERE WAS AN ATTEMPT TO USE SUCH WINDOW IN THE 'FUZZY LOGIC'
OUTGROWING OF KARZYBSKI SEMANTICS, A VERY INTERESTIC WINDOW FROM WHICH
THE THERAPY SCHOOL OUTGREW TOO, THAT SPECIALIZES IN PRECISION ON OUR
THOUGHTS, THUS FAST RELIEVING US FROM THE OPPOSITE WHAT THE AUTHOR
PROPOSES.
EVERY BIAS HAS ITS COUNTER-BIAS, I WOULD GUESS.

THIS COULD BE INTERESTING , HOWEVER SEEMS BASIC. NEW AT THE FIVU IS
THAT ALL SENSES POWER THE SAME PROCESS, UPON THE CONDITIONS.
IT DOES NOT HAVE TO BE PERCEPTION ( BY ANY SENSE). IT CAN BE INTERNAL
TRANSFORMATION OR REORGANIZATION; IN ALL CASES IT IS MEMORY. THIS IS
OLD HOW THE BRAIN CONGREGATES BUT THE VIE OIN IT IS NEW.
 CONSEQUNECE OF THIS NEW VIEW IS THAT WE UNDERSTAND THAT ALL DISPUTES
ABOUT LOCALIZATION, LATERALIZATION OR NETWORKS OF BRAIN MUCH BETTER.
ALL CAN TRIGGER PROCESS IN THE BRAIN THAT WAS / IS ACTIVATED, THUS
MEMORY IS NOT LOCALIZED; MORE MEMORY IS ALSO
AVAILABLE AS TEH ENVIRONMENTAL ORGANIZATION AROUND THE PERSONS BODY -
A FENOMEN OFTENM DENIED HOWEVER CONTIONUESLY REPORTED AS MORE OR LESS
'EASTERN' PHILOSOPHY . THUS, UNDERSTANDING THIS ASPECT OF THE MEMORY
IS STEP UP IN UNDERSTANDING HUMAN. WE CAN ALSO REPLICATE THESE. WE DO
NEED CLEAR MIND AND CLEAR SKY WHILE WE DO THAT AS THIS IS INVOLVING.

WE PROBABLY LOCKED INTO THE BEGINNERS PARADOX AS WE CAN AS EASY PROVE
THAT WE DO NOT NEED THESE - WE NEED MORE SPECIFIC CONNECTION I WOULD
PROPOSE. ONCE ART THEORY GETS IT RIGHT IT STAYS RIGHT. IT IS VERY
INTERESTING HOW BIG WINDOW FOR THE SCIENCE COMES FROM THE ART. THESE
THEORETICAL DISPUTS STARTED DURING 'CHERRY REVOLUTION' STAGE IN
WASHINGTON DC, NOT ALWAYS HAVING CROWDS. THERE IS MORE SPACE THAN
PEOPLE - A PROCESS IN ITSELF. I AM NOT SURE IF BY ANY CHACE PHILI
CONVENTIN CENTER AND THE RIVERS BANKS AS TEH ART EXHIBIT PLACE DI NOT
TAKE THEM OVER ALREADY.

AGAIN - I DO NOT SEE INFORMAL LOGIC. SOME MIGHT SEEM TO BE DRESSED
LIKE THAT ONLY DUE TO LACK OF LINGUISTIC INSIGHT INTO
THE UNDERLYING STRUCTURE. LOGIC IS PRIMARILY FORMAL AND THAT INFORMAL
LOGIC DOES NOT EXIST IF DOES NOT FOLLOW THE SYLOGISM,
THE FORMAL PATTERN, FIRST.

( I  was shocked reviewing how imprecise the logic was to be, last
year that was; I think that the group that got into teaching or rather
indocrinating this informal way
about so called by them 'logic', is making diservice tio these who
trully need the strenght of the logical argumantation, that si always
formal; other think they do is - list endless errors for right and
wrong whilenot provading the positive model, thsu confusing and
clugging the minds)

I WANDER THOUGH HOW ARE YOU DOING. TO ME LOGIC IS AS STABLE AS
ANYTHING CAN BE. I DO NOT YET IMAGINE LEAVING THE CLASICS.
( SORRY, I AM THAT PREMATURE WHILE NOT REVIEWING ALL; I RUN TO THIS
LAST YEAR; TO ME ALL THESE TRAILS TO DIFUSE THE  LOGIC AS THAT VERY
SOLIC PART OF PHILOSOPHY WAS IS AND WILL CAUSE PROBLEM TO NATO - THEY
WILL NEVER GET HOW TO LAUNCH THE BOMB OR PREVENT THE BOMB FOR THAT
MATTER, FROM THE ENERGIES THAT WE DISCOVER BY THE 'THOUGHT EXPERIMENT'
ALONE.
THIS ONE HOPWEVER IS VERY CLASIC.
THANKS AND NO THANKS.

THE COMPILATION IN HERE IS BETTER THAN I FOUND ON THE STAND AT
LABIRYNTH. THE VERY FACT THAT THE BOOK SELLER TAKES ON SO MUCH ENERGY
IN THE TOPIC IS A BIG PART OF THE TREND. THERE SEEM TO BE
DIVERSIFICATION OF LEVEL OF DELIVERY. FOR THESE ESPECIALLY ENGINEERS
CHEATED OF THE COMPREHENSIVE EDUCATION, I WOUDL SUGGEST TO FORM SOME
WAY OF MENTORING SO THEY DO NOT GET TRAPPED, AS I WAS PICKING IN A FEW
CASES ABOVE. THESE ARE NOT TEXT BOKS, THERE IS NO TEACHER TO HELP THE
CRITICS; SOME VIEWS ARE NAIVE WHILE OTHERS MIGHT BE INVOLVING BUT
MANIPULATED.
WHILE OVERALL IT IS O'K TO GET SECOND LEVEL MASTERY BY SELF EDUCATION,
THIS ONE FROM ENGINEERING, THAT WAS TOLD NOT TO
WASTE TIME ON PHILOSOPHY, NOW MIGHT BE SISIPHUS PATH.

I AM MORE OBSERVING HERE THAN SOLVING PROBLEM
