Doug, And Eastern philosophy has a whole different understanding of "argument", I would suppose, and how one goes about convincing someone of something, if one does at all.
Back in the village where I should be this summer, I would never "argue for " a position or directly try to "convince" my neighbors of anything directly. I would get my porch light sot out. In a village, we try to "bring people along". Is that what Eastern "argument" is like? n Nicholas Thompson Emeritus Professor of Ethology and Psychology Clark University [email protected] https://wordpress.clarku.edu/nthompson/ -----Original Message----- From: Friam <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Douglass Carmichael Sent: Tuesday, July 21, 2020 10:04 AM To: The Friday Morning Applied Complexity Coffee Group <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [FRIAM] causality east and west A causes B western view, straight arrow.
