Profiles and Appearences

In proposing his transcendental idealism philosophy Immanuel Kant, had come to face with a small little realisation: Our minds do not in fact simply present us with what it receives through the senses, but rather places it in a neat framework so we better understand. Many philosophers before and after Kant have agreed with this, perhaps our mind is ill equipped to deal with reality without this framework, perhaps we can never see reality without this censor in the way, some still believe that with reason and thought we can however, experience reality for what it is, and see beyond the frameworks of our minds.

The truth of the matter is, anyone who has thought about this even a little bit will start to realise that our minds DO tend to put things into a framework, the most obvious one is categories. Leibniz and Kant themselves dealt with this, and so did many others, "categories". It simplifies things, and helps us go about our daily routine without so much as an extra thought for the discrepancies in these categories. We all do it; "all chinese are bad drivers", "all fat people are unhealthy", I've even heard "all teenagers do drugs" and "all boys are sex addicts". The greatest minds of our age have struggled with the fact that all our minds tends to work categorically, divide things into generic categories and deal with the categories, whenever there are large number of things to deal with.

sorry for the absence. and what i have been upto so long.

Well i have not been posting for long. Who cares, i'm the only person who seems to read these anyways. Well, My spiritual journey has finally come to an end. I FINALLY have a name for all my philosophical, and spiritual beliefs. Paganism. Well, since its such a broad and often misunderstood term here is what i believe:

To be or not to be, a leftie? (yes that IS poetic, thank you!)

So,
I recently learned (actually i knew for a while, but now i do for certian), that i am a born leftie, i.e. i am one of the very few individuals who are left handed. Sadly enough, i was forced to switch at an early age. I now am finding a SURPRISINGLY many ppl with said problem. A lot of them experaincing a lot of cunfusion due to the fact that their naturally preferred side is not their dominant (stronger) one.

well there are very few sites out there though, telling ppl wat to do under situations such as these, so if any of u readers are in this situation, tell me what do you think? should i go back to leftie? Has anybody out there actually sucesfully gone back, if so do the problems such as "cross-dominance" and right-left confusion (i have that A LOT), go away once your naturaly prefered hand is dominant, after over 10-15 years or so?

The News, and my opinion...

As someone who does not believe in the distinction between Good and Bad, when it comes to big/important things such as people, or what they do - I sometimes find the focus of many news programs rather annoying. No one ever mentions the other side of the story. I remember there was a big thing a while back about a bunch of guys and basically a whole community that promoted multiple marriages, and marraige involving "minors".
Here's what I say, any event that occurs mutually IS NOT A CRIME. Ok, so a bunch of guys married minors, as far as i could tell it was mostly mutual. They did show a bunch of interviews of the families, and they seemed pretty happy. And from what i heard on the news the main crime that the 2 guys who were convicted were charged with is that they married these people (or smthg like that). Well, that's what i think at least.
There are a lot more examples of news hiding the whole truth, most of you have that news incedent that they personally knew someone there or was actually there, and you hear the news and say "wtf? this is NOT what happened!". Well thats it for now, I lost my train of thought, so...i shall wrap this up!
