To my mind, it seems that meaning is to action what value is to objects.

Nevertheless I consider myself a professional philosopher of primary value, having devoted, and self-funded, 30 years of research before being able to publish - which I am just now doing in some thoroughly modern way. And so, flatline or fly, I fit the profile of one of the escaped exceptions - but my answer to your intrinsic question is less with any success as the per-se of teaching philosophy - as to the issue of mastery of its purpose itself - from which hope might find legitimacy.  Ideas that I have not found mentioned here. Not one of you has stated such a counter-academic, attitudinally malformed opinion.  Being frank, I find your minds are so bent around the sinecure as a way of life that I do not wonder why you have not attacked such a permanence as your worst nightmare -- like attempting to run from some disaster while neck deep in molasses. To wit, philosophy is challengeable at every turn except by the dim-witted and professional deliberator - Thoreau\u0026#39;s anti-man. I think because in your life experience you have attempted to solve and execute nothing real, that your existence is to be perpetually like cement that dries still inside the mixer, spoiled of any use. For which of course you blame your students who are only looking for ... meaning, sex, attainment, forgiveness, permission, and perhaps a map.... So I see that your struggle is really of the favored spoiled child variety disabused of the mother\u0026#39;s love - which is very foreboding indeed considering what is coming that ain\u0026#39;t got here yet. I suppose in this case I have some animosity toward you for your contempt of such a thing as understanding independent from the natural system of class and conformance and deference, and find the actual pursuit of light and truth - however flawed by limited experience - in all ways superior, if I am not being unfair to you for that. But you seem to me to be serfs of the university and system and its impractical training - and that you have not gained anything from what you purport to represent as the most vital effort of Man. How can you represent what you do not understand, as something critical to survival?  Just wondering. And if you do - then let\u0026#39;s hear it."},"link":[{"rel":"edit","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/feeds\/31003419\/1067897642377001558\/comments\/default\/1227565552049432317"},{"rel":"self","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/feeds\/31003419\/1067897642377001558\/comments\/default\/1227565552049432317"},{"rel":"alternate","type":"text/html","href":"http:\/\/lemmingsblog.blogspot.com\/2007\/01\/should-i-become-professional.html?showComment=1410704416036#c1227565552049432317","title":""}],"author":[{"name":{"$t":"John A.

Pose the illusion.  Establish that one direction is recognized by a subject by data input and at the same time require that the subject TRY to reverse the direction.  Suggest to subjects different strategies for reversal (head focus, feet focus, the red\/blue line focus) and then measure by MRI efficiency relative to task and relate to report of task.  See if one focused task is more efficient subjectively than others as measured by objective data in relation to report by  MRI data.  If one MRI datum of location in the brain is more strongly correlated to subjective reports of reversal, then a spot of FW strength is more empirically established.
