Hi David (H) You summarised your impression of Mark's take thus:
"If everything is static quality", you seem to say.. "then that appears to be a very sad existence indeed." (You go on to point out lots of non-static things in real life ...) Mark's take hinges on the "everything" in the first clause being - "everything that we can objectivise and discuss in language in a metaphysics discussion forum (or anywhere else)". That would indeed be a very sad existence, but of course life, the universe and everything is a lot more than that, as you point out. As you perceive it's a source of frustration or sometimes confusion for many on MD .... that we can only ever skirt around reality ... but that is the reality of any discourse .... a reason why we need to meet in the flesh at Hawkwind or Van derGraaf Generator gigs ;-) Metaphysics discusses meta-life and meta-reality, it's not real-life itself.
