Sorry for the "classist" charge... I didn't believe it for a

Process Philosophy... I did some looking into Mr. Whitehead... more
in-depth than the summary below...
http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/whitehead/
The fellow got into some some odd permutations.... extending
"psychological" modes of analysis and workings into the physical
world... as for his contribution to the "systems theory" part... His
notions of extension of "events" in time and space seems practical and
useful enough.... But the notion of some sort of transmission of "some
"essential-as -in - universal" thing" from one existent to another
completely different existent by non-physical and non-communicative
means (I forget now what W. termed it)... that was somewhat sci-fi.
I'll leave it to (and for) you to evaluate the merits of his (W.'s)
own and others' advancements in "process or system theory"... just try
to maintain a tie or relation to actual physical "things" (RES), with
that system stuff, to keep me happy....make it "empirically" proveable
and applicable, OK? Question for you.... epistemologically, what would
you call Whitehead?...
"Your may not be as 'smart' as me Nom - no cock length test meant (you

Archytas.... I've known you on and off for years....I like you,
respect you, all of that.... please take a cue... My material...
thematic dialectic "stuff", is not half bad (at all)... it has been
around for quite a while and has been picked over and plagiarized
piecemeal by quite a few "greater" intellects than you might
think....but then, you'll just say I'm paranoid.... HAR....

Is this the Jimmy Savile you meant? Hadn't heard of him....Penn State
University had a similar situation with a (US) football assistant
coach... Jerry Sandusky... you may have heard.

Sorry states of affairs...speaks ill of institutions, maybe more so
than the men themselves....
Closer to my "home"... there has been the Sandy Hook shooting

Too fresh to comment on for me.... so I won't....
Sorry to end on a tragic note... next post I'll try to go another
route....
Stephen hasn't written for a bit...maybe he'll drop by ...
Socratus, also... mind body dualism... I wonder what kind or relation
of dualism he favors?
Hi There!
I've been and will be very busy but I had to sound off at muster.
Two things, process dualism is not a finished product, it must be
advanced and applied. I have been studying how it can be used to solve
some proplems in physics. It is a natural to solve the problem of time.
;-) About dualism, I like a cross between Leibniz, Descartes, Whitehead
and Russell seasoned liberally with the works of Jon Barwise and Vaughan
Pratt: dual aspect process monism (that becomes neutral monism in the
infinite limit).
Ontologically, for example, it implies that all 'substances' are
automorphsims.
