Andre said to Bo:
Your objection to the MOQ not being a static intellectual pattern of value
makes no sense at all. Your dismissal of 'thinking', your dismissal of
'feelings' as all being indications of a SOM Mind Reality are plain silly. ...
Your dismissal of the intellectual level as not containing any thoughts,
concepts , symbols etc ( after all this is SOM!) seems based on this notion
that you have placed the MOQ outside of the intellectual level. ...
dmb adds:
"As William James, the father of American psychology, said a century ago,
consciousness is not a thing but a process." (Francis Crick, co-discoverer of
the DNA helix)
Bo is suffering from a whole series of major misconceptions, but this idea that
the mind can only ever be the Cartesian subjective mind (SOM) is definitely one
of his biggest errors. I've already presented lots of evidence that thinkers
use their minds to dispute SOM. I guess Bo can somehow believe that anti-SOM
thinking is SOM thinking because that's the only kind there is, even though
that exactly what the anti-SOM thinkers are denying.
I mean, if all intellects and all intellectual thoughts are SOM it would not be
possible to think anti-SOM thoughts. The existence of so many anti-SOM thinkers
proves that SOM cannot be equal to mind or intellect. It's a logical absurdity.
Insulting the other guy's intelligence does not constitute an argument, of
course, but this really is just too stupid. How are the supporters of Bo's
theory NOT embarrassed by this repeated dismissal of logic and evidence? I
think it's downright contemptible to perpetrate or defend such obvious nonsense.
