[Arlo] As always, Platt's trying to wage a dichotomous war where the only options are to wag your dick about the Lone Individual or be a sniveling, commie bastard. But then, comrade Krimel, we've been down that road umpteen times as well.
[Krimel] I prefer Komrade Krimel or Comrade 1 Crime l but yeah. I apologize for occasionally skimming or ignoring your posts but so often its like some recurring bad dream about teaching a pig to talk. Just know that I share your frustration and admire your persistence. [Arlo] Yes, I think Tomasello's use of latching provides another nice parallel with Pirsig in pointing not just to the B/S point-of-evolution, but in pointing to the Dynamic-Static process that is the ongoing process of evolution. BTW, Pirsigians who follow Pirsig's idea that the social and intellectual levels are reserved for humans will also find parallel in Tomasello who ascribes symbolic use solely to humans (on this basis of said neurobiological adpation). [Krimel] I would like Tomasello to be a bit more specific about the adaptation itself at least in terms of physiology but, you are right. The ability to see things through the eyes of another or to adopt a different point of view, allows us to see others as subjects and ourselves as objects. That probably sounds a bit more in tune with Bo than I am comfortable with but there you have it.
