   It can be constructive, but how can that be?" Take a look at the second passage on your sheet from Heidegger, not the whole passage but just the first sentence of it where Heidegger says, "In an interpretation, the way in which the entity we are interpreting is to be conceived can be drawn from the entity itself, or the interpretation can force the entity into concepts to which it is opposed in its manner of being." "Now wait a minute," you say. "If I'm just dealing in preconceptions here, how can I take anything from the entity itself?" Right? That's just what seems to be at risk if I can nev…

   And we bring that prejudice to bear on our interpretation of the line, then that is a constructive way into the circle according to Heidegger and Gadamer. The bad prejudice is when we leap to the conclusion, without thinking for a moment that there might be some other historical horizon, that we know what plastic means. The reason we can tell the difference, by the way, is that if we invoke the eighteenth-century meaning of plastic, we immediately see that the line makes perfect sense, that it's perfectly reasonable and not even particularly notable; but if we bring our own meaning to bear-- t…

   So, he said, if this were found if this bone had been found in a recent formation along with other such bones, you would think it looks completely like something that was done by a human. And his reasoning was well, of course we know humans didn't exist during the time of the dinosaurs, so that's proof that all this other evidence is wrong. Now that doesn't really follow logically, if you think about it. If he was prepared to accept it if it had been found in a recent formation as the result of human intelligent work with using stone tools or metal weapons to cut, you know, the flesh of this d…

   I devote myself to self research things in order to augment the sum of known facts, or to discover their mutual relations to nature. Have the “ancestral experts/LCHF” made conclusions for you over the years? A conclusion is just the place where you got tired of thinking for yourself. I am going to keep disturbing that notion in all of you.** **

   Thus the standard philosophical definition of “artifact” might well be more of a hindrance than a help in the context of such investigations. Archaeologists and anthropologists, on the other hand, are concerned with the roles objects play in cultural processes quite generally. From this point of view, a discarded flint chip is just as important as the hide scraper from which it was struck, because debitage analysis—the study of such chips and other production debris—is invaluable for reconstructing knapping techniques and other aspects of production processes, including their cognitive underpi…

   The paleosphere seems to get that sense intuitively, but still applauds some among us, who choose moderation in their practices, over practices that are best for the survival of their own patients. I think all our decisions should be tied to ultimate survival and optimal health, just as evolution chooses for life, when she is tested. We must be congruent with her message, and not in our neolithic beliefs or practices, dedicated to advocating for ‘everything in moderation’. We might be making a great trade off that we may regret at some point later in our lives. When we do it, we might even kno…

   So we can be sure that there's no global metallergical civilization that's doing a lot of mining and smelting. Certainly they're not doing burning fossil fuels like they might be in the 18th or 19th century. So we know that could not have been around that early because it would show up in the atmosphere. Oh, don't even bother. Apart from you not being able to point to a single thing that supports this claim, we can also just show that it's impossible anyway. There was no metallurgy happening at that time. God, I love science. Graham has mentioned that the bulk of marine archaeology has focused…

   I should say I think what we can say is we can understand start pinpointing the starts of domestication and things like that. But I think that what this big data set that we now have shows is there is no linear trajectory to human culture. It's actually very heterogeneous what happens. It's different in different areas of the world and therefore we need to understand the local context to understand them. Gee, that sounds pretty incompatible with the idea of a super awesome Atlantis civilization that might even be aliens which taught all the dumb people all the cool stuff all at the exact same …

    A house may displease me by being ill-contrived for the convenience of the owner; and yet I may refuse to give a shilling towards the rebuilding of it. Sentiments must touch the heart, to make them controul our passions: But they need not extend beyond the imagination, to make them influence our taste. When a building seems clumsy and tottering to the eye, it is ugly and disagreeable; though we be fully assured of the solidity of the workmanship. ‘Tis a kind of fear, which causes this sentiment of disapprobation; but the passion is not the same with that which we feel, when obliged to stand un…
