> John: Yes, but if that expanded rationality lacks strength, relative to the SOM rules which amplify ego and power, then it's not going to work. We need a way of translating betterness (right) into power (might). I don't see any clear way to that.
Ron: I get your drift John, I think a better Way to look at it is in terms of fostering criticle thinking in our Western society, I was watching Those Chomsky interviews Dave Posted and he really hit the problem And possible solutions, I feel chasing After the idea of alternative metaphysics is a logic trap of sorts That giant is our giant with a history All it's own. The power of expanded Reason I feel, lies within the cultures Capacity to evolve and promote criticle thinking skills. We also must Face the possibility that not everyone Is cut out to be a criticle thinker. Remember that RMP also commented on American values Noting that many are based in native Values which sets it apart from European counter parts, You know American INJUNuity, Is what sets us apart. We just need to dust off that torch And clarify the way again. To sum it up, to ask if som is inevitable is to isolate and generalize The situation in reified terms, like asking if stupidity is inevitable.
