>Platt: > > Hi Dan, > > If Idealism was true (subjects create the world) I would make a world in which > I was twice as rich. Dan: Yeah, well, I already had you pegged as a greedy fuck. This confirms it. Seriously though, no one is saying idealism is true. As you know, the MOQ marries idealism to materialism by putting them into a framework of Quality. Inorganic and biological patterns make up materialism while social and intellectual patterns correspond to idealism. Oh. That's right. You subscribe to Bodvar's SOL. You see yourself as a subject forever apart and separate from the objects of your observation. So you really have no idea what I'm talking about, do you?
