    Reality vs. Appearance. I always get something out of these Russell lectures.

    Each particular cat imitates The Cat, with imperfections in this or that aspect. But one thing which is always imitated perfectly is the belief that it is The Cat.
    This explains why cats are the way they are.

    I just love this. Plato is no longer someone I like, however.

    How can you have reason without understanding? Just look at the etymology of the words. Understanding is the basic quality of consciousness; that's why it stands under everything. There is nothing deeper or more fundamental than understanding.

      I don't think Plato even understood what he was saying.

    Knowledge is absolute, opinions or beliefs are subjective (knowledge).
    Knowledge is certainty, opinions or beliefs are uncertain (doubt).
    Certainty is dual to uncertainty -- Heisenberg.
    Knowledge is dual, it is the association (or not) between two ideas!

    Plato was brilliant, but he cannot be forgiven for Hegel lol. So sad that we no longer have any respect for our ancestors. We stand on the shoulders of giants that we condemn as fools, how childish we moderns are.

    Is there a real "idea" that's better than any ideas?

    Objective (absolute) knowledge is dual to subjective (relative) knowledge!
    Beauty is dual to ugly.
    Justified is dual to not justified
    Certainty is dual to uncertainty -- the Heisenberg certainty/uncertainty principle!.
    Thesis is dual to anti-thesis -- the time independent Hegelian dialectic.
    Hegel's cat:- Alive (thesis, being) is dual to not alive (anti-thesis, non being) -- Schrodinger's cat.
    Absolute truth is dual to relative truth -- Hume's fork.
    Noumenal (rational, analytic) is dual to phenomenal (empirical, synthetic) -- Immanuel Kant.
    Duality: Two sides of the same coin.

    Russell's always disagrees because he clealy doesn't understand what Plato, Hegel and other geniuses communicated to us. Russell's bias is that he believes he understands while his ideas are so shallow that they don't reach the ideas of the said philosophers. Russell is of the type of spiteful teenager who infers that because he knows how to read as consequence he understands what he reads. Listen carefully at Russel's examples whenever he tries to "explain" what he understands from "philosophy" and you will observe that his examples are so simplified that the reader can safely infer that Russell was shallow, not deep and basically he DIDN"T GET IT while he pretended, believed and was convinced that HE GOT IT. I would be really curious for an IQ test for this Russell guy, because he looks like the Bruce Lee of philosophy, the one who pretends to be the strongest "figther" without fighting with anyone outsde of a movie set in his total control. Russell was a fraud (if you don't believe I recommend you read any of the philosophers that he is talking about in this "butchery of philosophy", read for yourself and afterward compare how poor and completely off he understands them and how the only thing that he can express is the envy presented as critique.).
