Tao Stoic 181

"Master, when we spoke of Anorexia Ideata, the not willing to eat [106], is not the ideata part wholly superfluous?"

"Most of our namegiving is a hiding behind confusion. You know very well that, not being able to eat, and not wanting to eat, are the old familiar two parts of Reality, the physics and the non-physics."

"Then, there is also an Anorexia Physica?"

"Of course there is, if you want to call it that. When there is (physically) no food available, or when there are other (physical) restrictions like being locked up in a cellar or bound and gagged. Then, in high-falluting speak: Anorexia Physica. Many of the names in general use are confusing, are 'Double Thinks'. Take for instance the 'Natural Cause of Death'. A stab or shot in the heart are not natural, although very natural, a broken-up heart. I know of only one instance, noted by Churchill of a man who got a bullet in his heart during W.W.1, and still served in W.W.2. But now, an ideationally induced heart-arrest or attack, as Doyle describes? It is just as much murder, yet they must call it natural death. Is living culture on a glass disk not 'In Vivo'? Our science, often, does not know the back from the front."
