Given all the discussion, I'd still be really interested where DMB
fundamentally disagrees with Matt .... not for the sake of argument, but
fundamentally, pragmatically ?
Matt:
In five years, I think the two of us have narrowed it down to:
_____________________.
(I'm hoping to be able to fill that in some day.)
Truthfully, if all indications are correct, DMB thinks our fundamental
disagreement is that I cannot countenance the notion of "pure experience,"
without which any pragmatism loses its hold on reality and becomes a
solipsistic idealism. This is, from his point of view, a real difference.

So, meta-conversationally, our prior disagreement is that we can't agree on
what we disagree about.
