And so I conclude - Marsha is a mystic and has no interest in intellectual
quality or questions about whether something exists before we think about it.
Marsha:
So, David, EITHER I discuss with you 'whether something exists before we think
about it' <a statement that makes no sense to me> to entitle myself as
'intellectual' OR I get labeled a mystic (an obvious charlatan)? That is your
line of thinking? You're another Flatlander? Either/or? Yes/no?
True/false? 0/1? A or not-A? You're another Aristotelian? Ah-choo!
Ah-choo! Ah-choo!
Goodness, it is no wonder I prefer the wisdom of the East: "the Tao is the
groundless and boundless; it is the flowing, dynamic, yet unmoved amidst
infinite change."
If you want to discuss 'whether something exists before we think about it',
present your views on the topic. If I have something to contribute maybe I
will, or maybe I'll remain silent. But at the moment the topic makes no sense
to me.
'If this is, that comes to be; from the arising of this, that arises; if this
is not, that does not come to be; from the stopping of this, that is stopped'.

It's not what 'James says', but so what?
