…literate people. We have to go into the shaman space with the a priori categories of Kant, with the edetic reduction of Wittgenstein, with the ideas of Merleau, Ponty and Whitehead. All the intellectual equipage of our culture must be carried with us into…

…with the opportunity to perceive the truth of the matter? This is what modern philosophy has come to understand. This is why Wittgenstein could come up with the notion of what he called true enough. That's a much more reasonable approach to. I mean, after…

…the unspeakable is that which lies beyond the domain of language. And when I titled the lecture, I was thinking of Wittgenstein, who mentioned the unspeakable, the things which exceed our grasp. The other meaning of the unspeakable is the things we'd rather…

…of the 20th century, the Viennese have their fingerprints all over the entire thing. I mean, you know, the Freudians, the positivists, Wittgenstein and his school, and Eric Janch, Paul, fire, all those anarchists. People came out of U of v. And. And he…

…abyss and then push you over into the dizziness of the things unsaid. And they'll always be unsaid. I mean, they are. Wittgenstein, God bless him, had the concept of what he called the unspeakable. He said, philosophy operates in the realm of the…

…of metaphysics and philosophy, which is not properly their area. Well, if it's all nonsense, then we're in a hell of a fix. Wittgenstein had a slightly different notion that I think is more serviceable here. He said, what we want to do is we want to…

…what reality is. Well, this is a head full of shit, this kind of thinking, what you are actually dealing with is what Wittgenstein called the present at hand. The present at hand good phrase, because it implies that only that which can be grasped matters…

…profound indicators. I think, that truth can be known. Maybe nothing the truth, but I always think of the positivist philosopher Wittgenstein, who was once asked in a classroom situation about a certain proposition, is it the truth? And he said, well, it's…

…where you go, awake or asleep, stoned or unstoned, reality has a quality which is the felt presence of immediate experience. Wittgenstein called it the present at hand, making a more complicated metaphor by bringing into the notion, bringing into the notion…

…it is in translation, no less. So there is something about extending the realm of what can I be said? You know, Wittgenstein talked about the unspeakable and said, you know, beyond, beyond the reach of philosophy. He always made these spatial metaphors, he…

…truth as the standard for choosing among the models we can produce, we must set our aesthetic compass towards the more true, what Wittgenstein called the true enough. And then the question is, well, how do you, how do you recognize that? Well, this is a…

…then the deal is that life is some kind of an opportunity to basically indulge yourself in the exploration of circumstance, what Wittgenstein called the present at hand. And everyone is born into a preconceived modality of what the present at hand is. You…

…means sex and psychedelics and dancing and conversation and good eating and lots of exercise and travel and attention to what Wittgenstein called the present at hand. The present at hand, meaning what you can reach is what's real. And everything else…

…meaning what you can reach is what's real. And everything else becomes progressively more hypothetical, more abstract, anticipating Wittgenstein talking about our reach, William Blake said, attend the minute particulars. This was his advice for life. Attend…

…said to this day, we are not able to come to terms with this. No matter how much Derrida or Husserl or Wittgenstein you've imbibed, it still is a very challenging thing to dissolve your ordinary state of consciousness and abandon yourself to the dynamic…
