Ch III (pt. 2) - A Little Model with Startling Powers
from Learning A Process Model · host Nicholas Montaño and Joey Massengale
In this episode we finish Chapter III, continuing from the subsection "Some Motivations and Powers of the Model So Far", and sharing our reflections and amazements of what Gendlin has accomplished in merely twenty pages.Joey and I have a terrible habit of having long, deep philosophical discussions before moving on to record our podcast episodes and doing even more philosophy. Starting at the four-hour mark of thinking really hard together, we hope you'll enjoy the somewhat looser, sillier flow of this episode we crest into our final hour of reading Chapter III with aplomb.Chapters:00:00 - Introduction02:26 - p. 17, para. 5: "Some Motivations and Powers of the Model So Far"05:02 - p. 17, para. 6: "Since we humans are here, we can be certain that we are not impossible."05:48 - p. 17, para. 7: "Human meaning and symbols seem impossible in the spectator's space and time..."06:34 - p. 18, para. 1: "Postmodernists want to reject any conceptual model."12:04 - p. 18, para. 2: "We can devise an alternative..."15:28 - p. 18, paras. 3–5: "We can speak from living..."19:05 - p. 18, para. 6: "It is known that symbols and rituals have deep bodily effects, but there is no way to think how that can be."28:39 - continuing para. 6 into p. 19.29:40 - p. 19, para. 2: "What makes something a symbol is usually said to be that it 'stands for something'"33:44 - p. 19, paras. 3–4: "Our rudimentary model already says quite a lot that needs to be said and cannot be said in the old model."43:43 - Learned concepts in an en#1 sense are stoppages until they become relevant to the life process.47:54 - Crossing APM with Eastern wisdom teachings about non-thinking.49:33 - p. 19, paras. 5–6: "Later we will derive terms for cognitive processes..."53:06 - Closing
