Marsha: Reification represents how the common man and many scientists, academics and even philosophers think. It evolved as tool to facilitate some kind of betterness. But it is flawed and of course the MoQ and help rectify the flaw.
Andre: You seem to be having some sort of antagonism towards the way scientists operate. You seem to denigrate them because you seem to be thinking that all their investigations operate from a SOM conviction and are therefore totally misguided, wrong, off the path towards truth. From a MOQ perspective may I suggest that the MOQ has no problem at all with scientific findings and their truths? Would you allow the idea that some scientists are not at all restricted to this SOM prison ( in fact that they do no know it exists) and feel themselves quite nicely comfortable, nay compelled, to venturing outside of it...and that their ideas and findings are very well accepted by 'conventional' scientific institutions and accept these because they challenge, even though they may not realize or understand the metaphysical implications of it? Scientific truths/results/findings keep on stacking themselves. Scientists are not stupid. And reification is NOT the way they think! It is the way they represent what they see and observe. This is NOT flawed. This is the scientific way of communicating it. They are just not philosophers.
