help!

ok so we have an elevator at a mine, which goes down 80m and then back up. it only carries equipment and minerals, not people (namely, a freight elevator).

can anyone see any reason why the elevator would go down faster than it goes up, or vice versa?

The game of 56

maxistentialist:

“Thus in the movement of consciousness there occurs a moment of being-in-itself or being-for-us which is not present to the consciousness comprehended in the experience itself.”

This is a quote from Hegel’s introduction to the Phenomenology of Spirit. Hegel is describing the movement from sense-certainty to the moment in perception when we recognize not only that we are perceiving an object, but that we are perceiving ourselves perceiving the object - consciousness coming to self understanding.

Do you believe that when you perceive an object (or even another consciousness) there is a degree to which you are looking into a mirror as you perceive your own perceptive act? What is perception if not an active cognitive process?

“In fact, things were going rather well for me and I had got engaged to a very nice girl, Jane Wilde.”

This is from A Brief History of Time by Stephan Hawking (it was right here on my desk, no joking. My current read). I haven’t gotten to page 56 yet (am currently on 24), but I’m pretty sure there he explains the motives behind studying what he did. Don’t reckon there’s much to learn from it… Enlighten me if you do.

Rules of the game: grab the book nearest you. Right now.

Max’s note: This is a silly exercise without context, so I’m amending it.

* Turn to page 56.
* Find the fifth sentence.
* Post that sentence & post these instructions below it…
* Don’t dig for your favorite book, the coolest, the most intellectual. Use the CLOSEST book.

*** AMENDMENT: Explain the quote with context and tell us what we can learn from it

dannikins: peterconnsbetterthanyou: thebestonmars: A few years ago, a mother and father decided they needed a break, so they wanted to head out for a night on the town. They called their most trusted babysitter. When the babysitter arrived, the two children were already fast asleep in bed. So the babysitter just got to sit around and make sure everything was okay with the children. Later that night, the babysitter got bored and went to watch TV, but she couldn’t watch it downstairs because they did not have cable downstairs (the parents didn’t want children watching too much garbage). So, she called them and asked them if she could watch cable in the parent’s room. Of course, the parents said it was okay, but the babysitter had one final request…she asked if she could cover up the clown statue outside the bedroom window with a blanket or cloth, at the very least close the blinds, because it made her nervous. The phone line was silent for a moment, and the father who was talking to the babysitter at the time said, “Take the children and get out of the house…we will call the police. We do not have a clown statue.” The police found all three of the house occupants dead within three minutes of the call. No clown statue was ever found. It’s official. I’m never sleeping again. HOLY FUCK………I HAVE THE WORST CASE OF THE CHILLS AND GOOSEBUMPS can i point out that i want to cry? of fear? shivers. another night with the reading light on… Via Laudamus Deo,
