He will of course deny it officially when he returns from school, but
note that he has been forced to retreated from one position after
another. First the "radical pragmatic" one where he long held that
Phaedrus' original position was "pre-concept/conceptual" which is
wrong, it was - still is - "pre-intellect/intellect" ("intellect"=SOM") .
Next the issue about Indo-European language's grammar as what
inititated SOM, indicating that such cultures being "intellectual"
(after all you all agree that SOM is part of intellect ..no?) long
before the 4th. level. Well, DMB shall have that he argues
rationally and when understanding that his position is untenable he
at least drops it. That goes for Paul Turner too, he understood that
the letter supports the SOL as much as it rejects it.
But a metaphysical shift isn't done in a fortnight - shouldn't lest we
are left in a dynamic vortex - SOM took around 2,5 K years to
establish itself in the West. We believe Greek philosophy to have
begun as known from the books but there may have been
generations before the historical names. Likewise we may be long
gone before the real (Phaedrus') MOQ breaks through. The
current semi-SOM variety and the effort to align it with the very
philosophy it rejects will prevent it.
It must be the first time in the history of philosophy that the creator
of a new system starts with a "strong" interpretation and changes
to a "weak" one.
Thanks for the good words Dan. I have been invited to show my
paintings at a gallery come June and will have to concentrate on
that in the months to come.
