Marsha said to Ron:
The delusion is to think that static truths (patterns) are independent. Static
truths (patterns) are ever-changing, inter-dependent, and impermanent.
Ron replied:
I thought you maintained that human beings could only function to percieve
static truths as independent. Reification is the way the human mind functions.
How is this resolved?
dmb says:
I don't see how Marsha's self-contradictory position could ever be resolved. I
have tried repeatedly to explain that reification is a conceptual error and not
the inherent nature of conceptualization. The texts she cites as evidence of
her claims make the distinction between concepts and this particular kind of
conceptual error. Her own evidence is against her on this.
But this problem isn't really philosophical and it is only one of many
conspicuous contradictions. She uses "static" to mean "ever-changing" even
though those two terms are approximately opposite. And when she's not equating
opposed terms, she's opposing equal terms. She thinks "analytic thought" is
something other than intellect, for example.
How do you talk to a person who "thinks" like that? I really don't see how.
