Re: Mind's Eye Opinions

I expect an opinion to be the result of a weighing process of all pros and cons that I know of, whereas a personal statement has not necessarily been weighed against the weight of the world, so to speak. An opinion therefore feels much more rounder than a personal statement. Both would count as originals still. Whereas the deliberate-rounding-in-order-to-create-truth methodology stems from the bubble industry, which leaves the bubble without own originator - not original. We can agree with all options without having to touch the question of originality if we want to. 

But reporting as an eye-witness is something completely different. Instances of the right and wrong, of law and order, need to be made understood what happened. That is really, really difficult.

Every once in a while there are replies to posts stating (or perhaps complaining)  that the opinions stated are just "personal statements" and/or that the opinions stated are "not original". This leaves me puzzled.  Are not ALL  opinions "personal statements"? And are not ALMOST ALL opinions "not original"?

Re: Mind's Eye Opinions

Much opinion is rubbish - try interviewing eye-witnesses.  Yet Andrew is right.  We can think in different models.  Testimony is a difficult chestnut for philosophy.  In some ways we should just accept it - but should we just accept eye-witness evidence that 'the black guy did it' or pay attention to blood spatter on someone else's shoes and the fingerprints on the knife?

If I agree with your opinion, can it not be as well my "personal statement"?

When opinions are original they are said to be ' personal statements '.

Re: Mind's Eye mistaken origins

Indeed, I miss our friend.  The unlimited is odd as it comes in sizes.

How I miss Gabby calling Vam 'Vammie'.  Economics is the art of enforcing poverty in abundance.  Virtue ethics allow enslavement and women to go out to funerals after they are 60.  Philosophy doesn't cope well with the real lunacy of sects of zealous men with guns.  Hiding the real philosophy (dirty hands or macht) means nothing means what it says and the hidden agenda rules.  Even Machiavelli was more subtle than this.
