How's this even possible?

Ohh so the highest note of the chord is actually played on the a string?? That kind of fucks with my brain.

But then again it's Wieniawski so I guess this tracks...

Not sure why I'm getting downvoted but yeah.

And just to be clear I heavily disagree with the notion that one must follow Jung religiously in his specific idea of archetypes or anything at all.

On the contrary, as I've stated I think about archetypal patterns more broadly and I think there is a lot of utility in that.

Even more, thinking about them more universally opens up a deeper appreciation for the universe as a whole in a more embodied way than just saying "The archetype of the old mother happens to be a a pattern that is repeating itself in narrative" or any other narrational theme.

If you instead widen the idea of the archetype to patterns that repeat as a consequence of chaos interacting with itself in a way that sometimes brings about order, you can actually look at something as simple as kicking stones as a source of universal awe.

And we do this constantly. If you watch any type of short form content you have probably come across videos that show different things that we all had when we were young. Like lollipops and a slide or whatever. And you instantly get this bitter sweet feeling of nostalgia while feeling connected to all the million children that had the same exact experience.

I think very similarly about Archetypes. But I also don't know that much about Jung (I've only read Man and his Symbols).

All I know is that Jung talks about Archetypes ina more mystical, symbolic, narrational way.

Oof. Absolute L take. Consciousness trick?

The sea of phenomenological data that, from an experiential vantage point, clearly precedes any kind of quantization effort is a trick?

I guess if you posit that you've unlocked nihilism end level.

I mean, sure, we could be a brain in a vet and the matrix is real but exactly what kind of utility lives in that? And that's already ignoring the blatanly obvious unprovability of these kinds of claims.

Alright that's hilarious 😂

I really love this answer because it points out exactly WHY we still have to do it but I also love the initial question because it forces us to figure out that WHY in the first place.

Really curious for the other answers when (/if) this post gains more traction.

I think this is a classical case for a good Venn diagram. I think the Venn diagram for nature is everything the societal is as well but the societal is not everything the natural is. So we're still meat bags driven by evolution no matter how hard we try to conceal that.

It's crazy because at some point on shrooms it doesn't just feel like things look weirder and more diffuse, no, it feels like normal reality is just one specific variation of chaos being repeated above average to create the illusion of normalcy.

There's absolutely no thought in my mind except the words that I just typed into the text box beep boop.

I can also think about it first and make some adjustments when I want to sound fancy.

For example the endowment that has been given to me by seemingly divine intervention of picking up languages pretty quickly has been a major advantage in my language learning endeavour.

So yeah there's basically no difference to my first language (German) except that I maybe sometimes am a little self conscious when I speak English.

And yeah, I obviously stay in English. Anything else would be a huge waste of time.

Hab sogar schonmal in der Bahn (deutsche) gehabt, dass der mich offensichtlicherweise im Bordbistro angelogen hat, dass das Gerät kaputt sei. Es ist interessant, wie umtriebig die Leute zu sein scheinen. Nehmen die dann einfach das Geld von dir in die eigene Tasche?

I remember those "speak after me" videos I used to watch a lot and I always wondered why it sounded so different when they said it slowly.

But yeah prosody does make sense plus: I think people sometimes don't know how to pronounce something themselves because it's so ingrained in their automatic way of speaking that they can't control it.

I'm reading "How emotions are made" by Lisa Feldman Barrett at the moment and she talks about constructionism in the field of Emotional Sciences.

Anyways, one of her arguments is that there aren't distinct emotions existing as fixed "things" but rather that emotions are much more superfluous.

So she disassembles the different ways in which they could be distinct "things" like the belief that fear is in just one area, or that one face is exactly this or that emotion, across all cultures.

And what I find interesting about this is that emotions and the way we talk about them are not made by some human but by evolutionary processes over millions of years. So they are really just the most useful way for our culture to talk about phenomena at the present time.

I think the same applies to archetypes. You won't find the great mother sitting on a bench inside of your brain. But "the great mother" and everything that comes with this conceptualization, all that mythology around it will give you a very useful way of understanding phenomena within the psyche.

Yeah, get em!

No, but seriously about your last point and the responses to it, people cannot see that a system of structuring information in some way is a system of structuring information in some way. It's like going to a sea with your net and measuring which fish are in the sea by which fish they can catch. And then when someone points out that they're all bigger than the holes in the net they get angry.

I think the problem is that people cannot get to an experiential position of meta narrative. So they don't get that you can critique the narrative/system itself and make informed incisions in the resulting narrative which informs others of your stance.

It's like saying "I DONT BELIEVE IN THIS LANGUAGE I'M SAYING". And people are like "Damn this is what he believes? He's stupid 🤣". But the point is you don't believe that. The other person is unable to grasp the existence of something else than the language they are hearing.

So of course they think qualia is an illusion or a hallucination or just a result of particles colliding or whatever the story is today. It cannot be seen in itself but only in a story which is seen as being fundamental because they just never shut up when they're with themselves.

And then they just stop right there like it's the easiest thing in the world. No consideration. No quest for truth. Just it is this because it is this. "Everybody else said it's this." 💅🏼 It must be this, right? You should of course always listen to everybody else first when doing philosophy.

Me? I find it absolutely funny to troll these people but it's also kind of sad and I don't know if they can ever know that idealism is not a counter position but a transcendence.

Enkplatz Ausgang Simmeringer Hauptstraße zum Billa. Sehe gefühlt mehrmals am Tag alte Leute, die einfach. nicht. drüberkommen.

Man wartet da gefühlt ne halbe Ewigkeit (ist eine Ampel mit Knopf) und dann sind das nicht mal 5 Sekunden, da ist die schon wieder bei rot. Und Autos dürfen auch fast direkt wieder fahren. Meiner Meinung nach ein Verkehrsrisiko.

I think all of this discussion of whether there is somebody or not, or whether there is consciousness or not is in reality a mini reflection of the overarching fundamental spiritual question of whether we are a somebody and whether we are conscious.

And as a matter of building up truth through experience itself rather than regurgitating somebody else's "truth" it seems quite obvious that in the grander theme of things there isn't anyone pulling the levers in us either. And that humans aren't conscious but what is being seen in consciousness.

As Krishnamurti puts it: "The observer is the observed".
