tell me a story...

Sitting next to a chick trying to learn about ancient Greek philosophy from the Internet.
She's trying and I believe that she might get there.
For my self I am in that place where I don't really give a stuff.
Just like Socrates.
He knew what he knew and he was tired at the end.
Never argue with idiots.
They drag you down to their level and then they beat you with experience.
Have to come to realise that the modern world is just making it up as they go along.
All the the old verities are thrown out so the newcomers can dream up new theories out of nothing and then find facts to fit them.
Psychoanalysis is out because it tells the truth but you realise that most of these new age investigators are trying to build on Freuds ideas without studying the originals.
Well you have to go back to Socrates and Plato and Aristotle if you want to be a philosopher and if you want to understand the mind then you must study Freud.
Its a jumble and very dangerous.
It is possible to generate a psychotic break if one is not very careful and in the company of those who know what is going on but all the same.
I listen to a women on 9-noon this am who is supposedly an expert on memory and fear but who has no knowledge of how feelings and fear and memory are created in the first place.
Kathryn Ryan and her gang trying to get undersatnding by engaging an expert.
It doesn't work like that Kathryn.
and.
Knowing how long it takes for a message to travel up an axon just isn't going to cut it.
But if they are going to publish and get their Phd's they have to dream up new stuff that is sufficiently esoteric so no one else understands it!

anyway I have finally comitted the harmonica tab for Mocking Bird HIll to memory and now I can polish it and make it sound ok.
What a feat for an old timer!
Had to conquer those intervallic leaps!
Next up is Battle Hymn of the Republic and then Dixie (for balance) and after that I reckon I will be done.
Enough in the repertoire to keep myself amused until you know what.
hehehehehehehehehe.
I swore that Ragtime Annie was the last actual tune I was going to learn on the guitar but somehow I have begun to learn this 12bar example out of Peter Gellings book of blues solos.
As JOhn Lee Hooker says you cant learn his style out of a book but it is possible to learn hooks and chuck them in when you are proficient.
Yeah.
