Ant McWatt comments:
I generally tend to have the same suspicions as Dave here. I probably receive
correspondence about the "new secret of the universe" once every month and most
of this - once you slowly go through each step of the great new idea - through
the usual evading tactics of escaping to esoteric mathematics - is arcane
nonsense.
However, being a philosopher (rather than a philosophiologist) is - I think
anyway - about trying to keep an open, beginner's mind. So despite the tons of
bullshit that such a mind has to go through, at least there are the occasional
pearls of wisdom such as the MOQ. Moreover, reading Eddo's last couple of
posts, I do think there might be a little more than "psychotic nonsense" to his
ideas (i.e. his answer to Dave that he's using mathematics for his
philosophical system as it is the least culturally biased "language" makes some
sense; at least on face value). Anyway, it will be interesting to see how this
particular converstion pans out.
Best wishes,
Ant
