John transcribed the last couple of minutes for Marsha:
"The two radical poles- that which is absolutely objective and that which
absolutely subjective, are null sets, they're equally empty. Now where does
that leave us? The foolish person says 'I get it - Nothing exists- Nihilism -
foolishness. What I want to do, metaphorically, is take out a little knife and
pffft - (pop their balloon). I want to bring them back. Yes, absolute
objectivity and absolute subjectivity - empty. So where is reality to be
found? The entanglement between." (B. Alan Wallace)
dmb says:
Yea, I noticed that too. I think it would be reasonable to say Wallace has some
legitimate authority on the topic and so his assertions can be used as evidence
in making a case about the meaning of "Nothingness". But it's pretty clear to
me that this would count as evidence against Marsha's position and I think
foolish nihilism is a pretty fair description of it.
