Hey Joseph, It seems that essentialism agrees with you. Essentialism can be seen through existentialist eyes as Ham has pointed out many times. I do not believe you are professing much differently from Ham, except perhaps in the syntax. I have had many conversations with Ham, and you fit right in. MoQ seems to fit right in. So, go figure. You may be battling ghosts in your interpretation of Essentialism. Or maybe not.
