Richard wrote: 'If MMY was way off, then you'd have to disagree with Immanuel 
Kant, Johann Gottlieb Fichte, Friedrich Wilhelm Joseph Schelling, Georg Wilhelm 
Friedrich Hegel and Arthur Schopenhauer and the whole of German idealism. This 
would be a monumental task for anyone, even someone with the intellect and 
training of Curtis. In addition, you'd have to argue against the Adi Shankara's 
Advaita Vedanta AND Vasubandhu's Vajrayana. And, that's without even knowing 
what Curtis means to argue about when he says that knowledge isn't structured 
in consciousness. Go figure.' Probably not a good idea to mix philosophers like 
this. Here is, for example, what Schopenhauer wrote concerning Hegel: 'Hegel, 
installed from above, by the powers that be, as the certified Great 
Philosopher, was a flat-headed, insipid, nauseating, illiterate charlatan who 
reached the pinnacle of audacity in scribbling together and dishing up the 
craziest mystifying nonsense.  This nonsense has been noisily proclaimed as 
immortal wisdom by mercenary followers and readily accepted as such by all 
fools, who thus joined into as perfect a chorus of admiration as had ever been 
heard before.  The extensive field of spiritual influence with which Hegel was 
furnished by those in power has enabled him to achieve the intellectual 
corruption of an whole generation.'
