Introduction to Philosophy

[Phil8659]

Now, here people introduce themselves, but as this is, supposedly a philosophy forum, philosophy should be first defined.

Here is the conundrum, how do people know if they belong or want to belong here to begin with?

Should not the Definition of Philosophy be introduced first? And is Philosophy a noun and not a verb? What does that mean?

Now, that would be like trying to teach people what they did not learn in public schools and apparently public and private higher educational systems.

So, Let us introduce the body whole, and the relationship between body and mind.
The body is generally referred to as a distinction between body and mind, when it should be introduced in terms of perception, conception and will, the three parts of even electronic sensor systems. Detect data, process that data and write a response.
We perceive, perception by our bodies sensors and life support systems, this information is processed by a mind, and writes the result of that processing back to the body as behavior and it has been found that the brain is not only located in the head, but very fast responses that are required are processed in nerve bundles that passes the response back to the body often before reaching the brain.

Now, we as mind, are a product of that brain. We are the major life support system of the body, as such we have a well-defined biologically determined job to perform, and well-defined physically determined means of doing that work. We have the job of processing information, the body of collecting it and expressing our judgments.
Now perception is analog. Analog information is not parsed, the mind has to parse information, and must also store virtual images as analog information in the brain, this is called memory.
Parsing means to limit it. The ability to limit information correctly is learnt by the study of the analog information itself.
Over time, man learnt that a thing, any and every thing, is composed of two parts, the limit and the analog information within those limits. Plato recognized this and learnt it from the study of Geometry. All you can name are relatives, the analog, and the correlatives, the limits. Shape and the material in the shape.
Plato also called this pair, noun and verb. Now, Plato gave the dialog Meno, to show how geometry can help teach one grammar, and Parmenides, he examples geometry at the start of the demonstration, which is a hint to follow with a geometric figure. Parmenides exercises the principles of predication, keeping the awareness of what you are using a name for, its relative, or its correlative. And as Plato noted, you cannot comprehend truth unless you master the exercise.
And we learn also there is another name for this pair, Class and member of a class, i.e. A class is a noun and a verb is a member of a class. Formal grammar lessons in geometry only require plane geometry, two-dimensions. You can write any dimensional grammar with it. See my work on Basic Analog Mathematics. Also called Basic Analog Grammar. Universal Language, Internet Archive, pdf portfolio set. It is free.

In Plato's Banquet, Diotima even explains problems with people using verbs for nouns to the character Socrates.

Pattern recognition is the ability to see this pattern, also called absolute and relative, the many and the one, etc.
Plato called this fact, Dialectic, grammar in accordance with the two names of a thing. Today, because of the computer which also works on this binary, binary recursion. So, the main part of Philosophy is learning to use these two as Confucius said, in accordance with the truth of things.

And also, this binary is expressed as the distinction between the perceptible and the intelligible, If a thing is perceptible it cannot possibly be intelligible, if a thing is intelligible, it cannot possibly be perceptible. Or in Euclid, the point is that which has no part.
Philosophy is all about understanding our environment, and encoding it into grammar systems, all of which are methods of utilizing binary recursion, and how they are written to our body as our own behavior.

In short Philosophy is over all sciences as binary recursion is expressed in the whole cosmos itself. So, the expression that man is made in the image of God, is a metaphor for this binary relationship between the only power any one can know, perceptibly and intelligibly, a functional mind functions as this image.
So an Introduction to Philosophy should be on this order, not the shit the illiterate claim is Philosophy, there is a real distinction between Sophistry and Philosophy.
The human mind is still evolving to be linguistically functional via grammar systems, and the world is in dire need of philosophers to show "The rectification of Names" in order for the Superior Man to finally arrive in the world.

Now, if people come here just to screw around and spout nonsense there are plenty of forums around the world they can go to, but I believe that those people who are capable of learning philosophy do not stay here because of all the bull shit chatters who cannot use their brain to save their life, much less this planet.

Now you make sense to me.. after having read this.

Idle chat and gossip does indeed not belong in serious threads.
