If you spend your life in subjugation to the Lie, you will have wasted the uppertunity of a lifetome, for you will have lived as an illiterate slave. Might as well not have been born, except at least your bad example can serve as a tutelary tale and cautionary tool for those who are tempted to believe that truth is relative or a mere cultural construct. ...
Oh my oh my oh my — Gagdad Bob at his ineffable best! Although one does have to work through his astonishing neologisms — e.g., "uppertunity," "lifetome," "existentialiada"; "facsimian"; and so forth.
And yet all one needs is one's own experience and a free imagination to work through such "semantic difficulties." That's the beauty of Gagdad Bob, IMHO.
I read his blog, One Cosmos, virtually every day. I have been analyzing the "work product" there both for content and method.
As to method, on my analysis [FWIW] Gagdad Bob [clinical psychologist Dr. Robert Godwin] can be characterized as follows:
(1) He never tells you "what to think."All of which qualifications indicate to me that Gagdad Bob/Robert Godwin is Platonist in basic view....
(2) He only shows you "where to look."
(3) He really does hope you will "go look"; and maybe get back to him later....
Great post, dear Matchett-PI! Thank you so very much!
You’re welcome! I like your analysis, too. :)
He’s no “guru”, and rejects the opinions of those who insist he is.
The content of his blog is merely an “offering”. If you don’t want it, it doesn’t bother him in the least. “Take it or leave it!”
We are just peering over his shoulder to see what interesting things he might be saying or doing ‘today’. :)
