Are you interviewing us for a post as Professor of Philosophy at some distinguished university? 8O :D

Oh no!! ! Not at my age anyways (I'm 70). Much more simple. I just love the point of view of those philosophers who were true lovers of wisdom. And I get sad when I see the many blabla that were said later in the name of philosophy. For me it is like those "religious" people who indulge into wart and homicide and genocide in the name of their god of love... I am aspie, you see, and I have a passion for clear concepts, unified thoughts, social justice and coherence. Those who blabla in the name of philosophy, who study the details of a concept, then the nuances of the details, then the differences between the nuances, who engage into logorrhea and forget what they were talking about to start with remind me of this saying : "When the wise points the moon, the idiot looks at the finger". The moon is the subject, the finger is the tool ; wisdom is the subject, rational analysis is the tool.

And sometimes, I feel very alone when I try to share this point of view. Most people avoid the subject, some react to what I said or how I said it, very few notice what I what talking about.

but your point about it probably changing from a love of wisdom to a love of blah blah yakety smackety, seems valid I think.
Yep! That was the idea.

If I wrote a book, it would be about the DAO (Dynamics of Abuse and Oppression).

Same question

My son and I have nearly completed the second book in a fantasy adventure trilogy. The protagonist enters a world, Unus Topos] where NT's [or NORMLS as they are referred to] are in the minority. I am madly in love with my characters[even the not-so-nice ones] and I hope that someday others will get the opportunity to meet them as well.

Have you ever gone on a cruise?

I would just LOVE to read that!! !

A cruise? Yes I did. To Yugoslavia when it still existed (its official name was Soviet Republik of Jugoslavija). I just LOVED the beautiful city of Dubrovnik. It had about 45,000 inhabitants and looked as pretty as a bucolic village, with white houses that had red roofs, build on a mountainside on the shore of the beautiful Adriatic sea. Then we took the bus and saw the incredibly scenic beaches of Croatia from high on the mountain-running winding road. Then we turned inland to Bosnia-Herzegovine and went to Medjugorge, a village built mist the mountains (as its name implies : mediu: middle, and gorge: mountains). On our way back to Canada, we quickly visited a few places in Italy.

That was before the war between Croatia and Serbia destroyed Dubrovnik, and much of Croatia and Bosnia-Herzegovine. In fact, I am not sure the war was REALLY Serbo-Croatian : it implied Kosovo (then another province of Yugoslavia) and many foreign armies and air forces participated, including those of USA, France and the Soviet Union. Having met the very peaceful people of Bosnia-Herzegovine, I really don't think THEY went to war on their own. I believe foreign influences, like the American C.I.A, the Russian SVR (which replaced the KGB) and the French DGSE, all of which got involved, had political and financial interests in triggering it.

Same question.

If you give me a more complete (and valid) answer, I may introduce you to a University though, having been (and still being part-time) a researcher in psycho-sociology and DAO (Dynamics of Abuse and Oppression).

Yes it did. To me, that does not look like an "interview" anymore. Read the preceding posts and imagine you look at that "interview" on TV or you hear an interview on radio.

Would you feel this is a real interview?
