    It’s rather like watching a herd response to danger isn’t it, when no danger exists. Someone called an alarm and immediately every member of the group feels threatened without any valid cause.

    Still I suppose that how they get attention to “poor me”

    Now that is rather silly, as crying wolf tends to hurt the vulnerable.

    “The account and critique of some of my major concepts offered by Fernandez (2016) gives me a welcome opportunity for several clari­fications. The lived body, embodied subjectivity, and intersubjectivity are indeed fundamental principles of my psychopathological research. For its aim is a novel conception of psychiatric illnesses as disturb­ances of being-in-the-world which are not occurring in a mental or inner realm, be it the psyche or the brain, but are played out in the subject’s relations to the world and to others as mediated through the body.

    Thus, the phenomenology of the lived body gains central importance for psychopathology, as well as the concepts of embodi­ment and enactivism which describe, as complementary approaches, the biological or systemic aspect of the relations between organism and environment (Fuchs, 2011a,b; Fuchs and Schlimme, 2009). It is these concepts which Fernandez has taken as the topic of his analysis and critique.

    ….To begin with, the mediating function of the body requires that the body itself with its organs and actions withdraws into the background of awareness, thus realizing what may be called the ‘mediated immediacy’ of our relation to the world. In other words, the body becomes transparent for the situation we are related or directed to (Polanyi, 1967; Leder, 1990; Fuchs, 2001; 2005). This transparency of the body does not mean that we could not attend to our body at any time and experience its sensations and impulses, enjoying them or suffering from them, as the case may be. An oscillation of the body between foreground and background of the field of awareness is rather characteristic for everyday life.

    As Fernandez rightly recognizes, it may also be described in Plessner’s terms of Leib and Körper (Plessner, 1981): our bodily existence moves between the poles of unimpeded mediality of the body-as-subject (Leib) and attention to the body-as-object (Körper) which thus shows itself as an object among others, with its materiality and resistance, as a body which we may use deliberately like an instrument, but which may also escape our control, be it in tiredness, lack of skill, clumsiness, illness, or other disturb­ances of bodily existence.”

    Latest btl comment from Gordon Dangerfield:

    ‘Thanks, Cubby and Contrary, there’s loads of stuff in these exchanges that I’d like to pick up on but I’m working on a long, long post that will give my take on a lot of it so I hope it’s not too ungracious of me to leave most of it there for now.

    One thing that you touch on, and that I’ll be covering, is the strange double appointment of Allison and Russell.

    As you say, Contrary, Russell’s appointment makes at least some sense in the world these people inhabit (although the role was already well covered by their EAP, the unions and others) but Allison’s appointment makes no sense at all, even in that world, until you realise that Ms B had already contacted her on 8 November, and Allison had told Evans this on 9 November.

    Lo and behold, at 20.09 on 9 November, Evans is arranging to speak the next morning not just to Russell to appoint her as a “sounding board” (honestly, the way these people speak!) but to Allison too, as she has suddenly realised that there is a yet additional need for “pastoral care” (a term specifically coined by Evans herself).

    If you look at Evans’s email of 13 November, intimating Russell’s appointment (and supposedly intimating Allison’s), you’ll see what a sham Allison’s supposed role was. Imagine you’re an SG worker in need of “pastoral care” and try to figure out how you would possibly know to contact Allison from the terms of that email.

    Of course they can’t just admit the obvious fact that Allison was “appointed” to her “role” purely and simply to ensure they didn’t lose Ms B while they got reinforcements organised to encourage her to keep going, because if they do the whole house of cards starts to come down.

    Hence we have the ludicrous spectacle of Evans’s evidence on this topic, among many others, where Ms B is never so much as mentioned as a factor in Allison’s appointment. Once you understand how small shams like this work, it gets easier and easier to see how the whole sham being orchestrated by Evans is working.’

    This sort of special pleading will only get worse if we don’t protect Scots law from being forced to accommodate anti-foundational ideology. So here’s a look at “Institutional mimesis: An experimental study on the grounding of legal concepts”. The same applies to Scottish sovereignty, which has the legal value of zero, zilch, nothing, if it is not legally defensible.

    link to journals.openedition.org

    “Legal institutions, legal systems, and the law in general are human artefacts. Is there, however, a sense in which we can consider legal institutions natural, rather than artefactual? Is there a connection between law and conceptions of nature? This problem has not attracted much interest in the legal-philosophical literature, save for one notable exception: Hans Kelsen’s Society and Nature (1943).

    Contemporary cognitive psychology sheds further light on the picture. The literature on so-called “embodied” and “grounded cognition” shows that the most basic experience of the physical world embedded in our perceptual and motor cognitive systems can be at the root of all kinds of abstract concepts, and hence—we could conclude—also of legal institutions. In this paper, we present an experiment conceived and carried out to test some conjectures connected with this general problem.”

    Their definition of “danger” is clearly very different from mine. If there was a real risk of physical harm, or if their property being seriously damaged, then they would have a point. However, these things do not happen. They might get Tweets disagreeing with them, some maybe unpleasantly worded (which I don’t agree with), but nothing that can be classed as “threat of harm” outside the effete world they inhabit. Remember, sticks and stones my break my bones, but words will never hurt me.

    The people that are mentally stable need to take back the asylum.
    Waiting for anyone of you generally to realise or make a decision on which one of the above you are is frustrating to say the least,
    Taking your country back out of their hands doesn’t seem to be on your list of things to do today, you would rather talk about the things that are about to affect all your life’s and hit you in the face like a 100 mile per hour bulldozer coming towards you,
    Talking does not cut the mustard.
    Waiting years for someone else to do the job for you, does not appear to be working either does it?
    Waiting for Brexit to finish is the last nail in the coffin,(not the first), the others have been done.
    Now you are almost to late to cry wolf, because you have yourselves to blame , you have cried wolf so many times.
    Generally speaking, most of the sheep in the field of Scotland don’t seem to mind being rounded up into a vulnerable position, for the wolves to pick off one by one.
    And the rest of the sheep are waiting for someone else to to bolt first, so they may escape,
    Get angry at me for saying it bluntly.
    Then get angry at yourselves, because you know it’s true, and like any addiction, recognising the problem is the first step to a cure.
    Sovereignty and independence, is legally fought for, it is not chitter chattered into existence.
    Get angry, get motivated, being dumbed down and legally corralled while you watch is beyond the pale.
    Your equivalent to a shoal fish zigzagging in the ocean while the sharks start picking you off one by one.
    Forget waiting for some one else making a break for it, you know what you have to do.
    I do not post on any of our Scottish sites as much as I used to, I am losing hope that the bravehearts died centuries ago, and we are left with chitter chatter and gossiping,

    I’m really grateful (I am not sarcastc here) to people like Gordon Dangerfield and the Rev who apply a forensic microscope to the byzantine intrigue(s) in the this hoi polloi sphere.
    My disposition just cannot not stretch to figuring out the “who knew what & when” based on who said what & when, knowing that all witnesses may well be lying to save their own or their handler`s skin.
    I am getting to the point of wanting to throw out the bathwater, very much hoping we can actually save the baby.

    “Crashphobia posits “safe driving” as an ideal because it operates in a safe-driving-normative paradigm which excludes dangerous drivers by treating them as “The Other”. At Wacky Races Driving School we follow a radical, intersectional approach which provides a safe space for dangerous drivers. We reject the crashphobic approach and support statements of allyship, such as doing 80 on an urban street and looking at your phone while passing a school”.

    I know you are making a serious point through humour, and pedants kind of kill the joke, so apologies in advance. Intersectionality simply refferes to the multiple identities we posses, such as mother, care giver, bread-winner, artist, etc. It is actually a useful concept when establishing the existence and effects of discrimination, so it’s helpfully practical. Chucking woke practice because of the diddies in Scottish politics, would be like chucking the baby out with the bath water.

    “dangerous driving” is a right-wing conspiracy theory originated by dogwhistling fascists and trump-supporters on the “chans”

    I suppose it all goes back to “athens v jerusalem” – objective reality and truth “out there” to be discovered by reason, or truth as the exercise of power, by argument, that its all just some malleable plasticine to be teased as we wish. (Become a lawyer, or politican or cult leader!)

    ages ago I read a very good article (unlike brodie I have no link) about the world’s “top expert” on tranny things and the tranny controversy (- subtext : he was getting a lot of stick from activists, but he was pure scientist and had all the facts) – but one sentence really stuck out, he said

  50. Twitter just encourages the mentally ill and emotionally stunted to believe that their opinions matter, and are valid, because they’re reinforced in an echo chamber of other grade-A nutcases; and I mean that about all subjects, on all sides. It’s utterly ludicrous, and even somewhat tragic.

    Social media is a sick joke. Turn off the phone or computer and the incessant needy jabbering, and worthless, often-American-minted, loftily-wafted views, just magically disappear. People like this have ideas far above their station. And nobody cares about them outside a tiny electronic enclave; the vast majority of people in this country don’t have Twitter, and couldn’t give damn aboot troutpouty petted-lower-lip he-said-she-said horseshit.

    What a sad fucking mess certain aspects of the insane and ludicrous modern world truly are.
