Randy Herring - 'Tarrying With The Negative': The Logic And Nature Of Bodybuilding For Fitness.

[webmaster]

I propose to render a different way of thinking about doing bodybuilding fitness. Tarrying with the negative of natural gravity and one's own body weight is positive in bodybuilding for fitness. Get the logic of it right here.

I was excited about reading the article until I got to the webpage and had a very difficult time understanding it. With all the "negatives" and "negations", "formers", "latters" and constant use of "tarrying", it was difficult to process the information. That is not to say eventually after reading it several times that I don't understand the author. I just would have liked to understand it without all the double talk. The explanations with the photos helped a lot.

While the author's intent is noble, I should stress that the purpose of writing or speaking is to be understood - i.e. to communicate a message to one's intended audience.

The role of philosophy is to make things clear through deduction and analogy when neccessary. In this case, this is like a "finger pointing at the moon" - meaning that the author has here presented a system of explination that aims to elucidate a concept. Instead, and because the system of explination is confusing, one finds oneself trying to understand the system of explination, instead of focusing on the thing at which this finger points.

I have no doubt that the author spent considerable time and effort on his work - in fact, I know that he did, because I spend considerable time and effort on my own work. So, I thank him for his contributions. I would say only that future articles might be more simple so that the philosophically uninitiated can understand them without prerequisit knowledge.

Best,
