Yous might find the stuff in first hour interesting, And do feel free to talk bout, but i actually found the latter half, bout an hour or 2 hours in, where we are tlkin bout like all these competing departments in the universities and industries who want to get the financial support for their particular area... Like our system is so screwed up, its like, what could we do about it, i mean it seems to be the story w/ almost anything that relates to scientific research and stuff, i mean, theres potentially good science happening out there, that doesnt survive w all of the competition (or its atleast lesser known, and exists in theoretical forms in papers nd such)

It might be helpful to know the following three terms: Theomorphos, vs. metamorphoses, vs. teofania~of "theophany" Given that youll have to think of things in this way, as far as the nature of the Ancient Greeks, and whats happening in writing and speech, in regards to the tangled nature of all of those things, together. ϴεόμορφος (Theomorphos) is used when something resembles a god in form or presentation, like a human portrayed w/ divine features. Any quality, idea or concept described as having divine shape, or an artistic expression, depictions where a figure is given godlike proportions or attributes. Its sortve the transposed version of metamorphoses, whereby theomorphos describes the resembling of god in form, presentation, or god-like proportions that may take the form of metamorphoses (the manifestation or transformation of qualities that can become mortals, plants, animals, gods and events) ϴεοφάνεια, made of θεός (god) + φαίνω (to appear) Ergo a "teofania" is any moment where a god becomes perceptible in the world—seen, heard, or otherwise revealed to humans; This of course may transcend typical godly figures as manifestations within natural events instead, but still interpreted as divine presence (storm, light or voice)

φύσις (phýsis) looks simple, but its got an intricate meaning in the context of Ancient Greece. The basic meaning of φύω (phýō), means "to grow" or "to bring forth" (to emerge) So physis seems like growth, or coming-into-being, the way something unfolds according to what * is * But perhaps a closer, rhetorical plain-English vers., might be, "the inner way a thing develops and shows itself" Heraclitus, Parmenides, et caetera tied physis to the ques., of "What is the real nature... of things... beneath appearances?" .. as another word to invoke the physical nature of things (among several others). In Greek medicine (Hippocrates), Physis becomes the natural constitution of the body, and the body's own tendency to heal / balance itself If you were talking about illness, you were asking how someone's physis had gone out-of-alignment. This connects to the pharmakeia and incantation, as well as modern spiritual prayer, though it is a line that is stretching far between medicine, ritual, and natural processes... into the physical, chemical, alchemical, magical, mystical, spiritual and religious. In modern times, we separate all of these things in our mind, but to Greeks, these things did not have distinct lines or divisions. We, atleast in the modern American English speaking world, are speaking of things in terms of discrete points, as opposed to continuous and infinite spectrums around us. That is, the mystical world is something we can only describe by thinking of it as a range of colors, *pointing* to different shades and colors within an infinite range. That idea is in itself a way to grow out of the basic Amer., principles, and to bring forth one's spirit towards~relating to the eternal, or how to exist within' the eternal (theres more to it) FourTwenty: 2026-04-20 04:20 Feel free to make a *420 post, in here~420 posts being just my normal posts.

Thats interesting. Ive had that author steve on my youtube since like, back when he started youtube. And although hes never landed within spiritual realms ~or rather, he starts material-practical, and leaves it open-ended, in regards to the -istemi to the more absolute epistemic thoughts and feelings, He's able to capture things in an articulated and well-spoken way, which i suppose is why he has become such an outspoken figure now in those specific target areas hes working w/ @Erybody, And i gues if anyone ever asks what is meant by absolute, epistemic thoughts and feelings (again, im borrowing the term from @gettoefl) It is comparable to a dream, you could say, because its something that exists and can be experienced, and we do think of it like a feature of reality, but its indescribable and thus separated within said reality (separated conceptually by some people who need to separate things that way). That's what the absolute is ~opposed to the absolute in some modern science realm~ the absolute can only be A) Experienced or B) Pointed toward, or only the -istemi towards it — "istemi" being a word i made up to mean "link / linked" or "channeled intention / direction" or something. You prolly have to preface w/ something like that in todays day and age (Note: We've prolly had this problem since the dawn of humanity, iuno), As so many people are confused, that is, when you go out in the world, talking to people, to those people who dont have a background in actualization or self-inquisition; which again, that is many, many people, possibly even the majority of people, theres just an overwhelming sense of speaking to those who do not have any experience w/ basic levels of self-inquiry.

Theres a few options that could help w/ this, the most obvious thing being, if you havent updated your package manager, as itll error out the packages cause of the package database not being sync'd w/ everything. I mean you might know that by now. Its jus good to remind people anyway. Try it if you havent though.

I guess whats great about Linux then, though i havent really thought of it in terms of really separating it out, given the walls or the ways we fall into our own niche, is that, you are playing w/ a puzzle that, for all intents and purposes doesnt end. I mean, thats touching on the nuts and bolts aspects, w/ regards to how you are throwing yourself into this dilemma~although its a dilemma you can absolutely solve. And then you can take it anywhere you want, i mean, people are def working on it, from the standpoint of what they like, and what they decide Linux should be, what it should do. I personally dont get too deep into it, but you can really build whatever you want, like... I was using watchamakalit, FVWM95, which i do still have on my laptop, and that was gonna be a project. Like thats one of many projects, and really its like, theres so many ways you can attack it. You know, its like, James and the Giant Peach, and theres alot of ways to bite around it, and surely ive only mentioned a very small area that I happened to be investigating when I started. I mean, because theres so many ways to view it from, theres too many possibilities and its hard to explain it from any one point~unless presented w/ the right topic/keyword... Like I mentioned "Sound/Audio", and thats like its own separate thing (one of many things). It is its own project. Some areas have been more built up, over time, and some areas of Linux are still a little behind. Like sure, the Desktops, for the most part (And last time i checked) they were a little behind. Its another project, another place to investigate, to try building it the right way~where its not all sketchy (there might be better Desktops out there, i dont know, Again im living in 1990 probably) Im just following the little voice in my head that told me someone was interested in Linux, so I continued said broadening of said interest.

@UnbornTao And if you cant be specific, then i cant be more specific, specifically for you. Its a give and take situation. If you want to know what something means, you have to learn how to use the quote feature.

Which one

Im watchin these videos atm (p.s. he says somethin bout a series called Atlantica, but iuno wat that is, im behind on this particular area) I think these are the exact same video, though im watchin both anyway just to make sure. Now i dont know if this is jus divin deep into history on spain, nevertheless there are ancient monuments underwater, so its not like this guy is out there diving for now reason over and over again. So that is to say, someone was in spain over many, many thousands of years ago building some megaliths, granted its just been underwater so long now, and its like tryina explain the Entire story of Greece from looking at a single Doric Greek column. We have to use our imagination and see what could be our options ∆ Like theres gonna be different sides explaining the stories all throughout time, And it may be the case some stories ~before Plato were those exaggeraters, where others were against those people by people who were raised to think of Atlantis as demoted (or jus non existent) By the time it gets to Plato, the stories about it being a great city survived, but it couldve just been like the Pyramids, that is like, these unknown megaliths that dont have any function (any *obvious function that would be immediately clicking) I mean just knowing that they were built is the first step to curiosity, And the details can be considered later as we think over it, and weight the options and such... Now im at the part (@40:00 round about) where im learning about the people of Tartessos, which yet again, this is adding a whole nother layer to the story. Very interesting stuff, if yous are into it.

part ii I tried looking for people who, i thought wouldve understood this instinctively (as it seems fairly obvious), cause like i thought this was just everyones assumed mind set, right? But apparently, not many people understood this, or atleast, they couldnt internalize it as such... (def., there is alot, alot, alot of ppl who havent even started on the first like, first literal stage?) As im not really saying anything different than what actualized dot org is, and its relationship to the self experience, the system, atleast from the very first point of Philosophically delving into the self. I guess thats the problem. I started looking for people, in a world where they wouldnt have already mastered self inquiry, so therefore the fundamentals around the keyboard were also sortve an unknown~atleast on that plane/dimension i was in, which is a long story as to what im speaking to~but you can imagine.

~part i The more I got a chance to think about what im tryina capture, as well as what im tryina express through The Unix Philosophy Its not necessarily about "design patterns or programmatic architecture", or how to code things (though, on Linux that is important given the nature of Linux, and, atleast in its case, the ability to design things in a somewhat complimentary way...) Rather, its more like, the ability to gain *insight into a system (Linux, and the programs within it, ideally) and to understand those systems. If even its "just enough to use the system", which is what we are really targeting at first, right. Like its more subtractive in a way, and more about stripping it all down (more like a Philosophy or spiritual practice) Afterwards, it can then take on these analytical, additive elements, something i kindve think of as "applying even pressure". Applying even pressure around all facets of the program, or the kernel, or around the environment, etc., like you are then applying everything evenly, whether it be "researching" or "updating" or "maintaining" or "fixing an ongoing project..." i mean, there's any countless number of things that is implied by The Unix Philosophy, or the stages that come after the initial 1 Unix Stage (that somewhat encapsulates it... though there is more that i want to say... And those are just the bare basics) 1 Unix Stage 2 Unix Terminal/Shell 3 ... ^Like its something like that, is what im tryina say, atleast from my perspective. I mean, everyone is attacking it from different point, so you have to acclimate it somewhat from your own perspective, and try to get it to be more Unix-like, Unix in the Philosophical sense we described here (not the Old Unix-literally speaking, as I dont know whats in them old books/articles)

ya true. Hey, i figured out how to illustrate it. When you are jus startin out, its like you are jus learnin it, so its like buffalo bob or bill and the poodle scene. But then you get it up and running~which doesnt take long, and its then like this John Wick sequence (mind you, if you are into like audio nd stuff, im not sure its a good switch, cause theres no Ableton live... you gotta go in non ableton routes... which is fine, as theres lota interesting programs in the works) *p.s. iuno what linux would have to do w/ dogs, as im more of a cat person myself but i guess it has somethin to do w/ dogs, maybe the cunningness of a dog or sumthin
-
Im really great at marketing things to people, you know. "You ever seen that movie where Buffalo Bill/Bob has the girl down the well, and shes like, Mr. Im gonna kill your dog" the experience is exactly like that. You know? Get me on the marketing team.
-
O ya'. Linux will do that to yah. Its like the movie hostile (2005), when they say, "where is this art show..." The Girl is like "No, Have a drink first" And he says, "No. I don't want a drink. I wanna see some art." And then he goes there, and some random Chinese guy coming out of the show says, "You could spend all your money, in there..." You could spend All your free time in linux. And, May or may not be worth it tho ha.
-
Ya thats a good point.
