Yes John, Necessarily so give the evolved nature of Western dominated socio-cultural-intellectual society.
So not necessarily so for all times and case-studies beyond human individuals - one reason why we need human patterns bigger than humans. I think it was Dave Thomas (no another old Lila-squadder?) invented their own language to avoid the SOMist traps - but of course that limits the people you can converse with. Another hero of mine Alan Rayner, uses the language of "natural inclusionality" which makes for very difficult (objective) communication - but these are people who understand the problem and the nature of the improvement possible if we can break SOMism. However their projects are necessarily millennial. not just lifetimes, so there need to be "kulturbarer" beyond the individuals - hey how about a faith-based religion - now there's a novel idea ;-) Ian On Fri, Jan 31, 2014 at 8:09 PM, John Carl <[email protected]> wrote: > Ian, > > Fun indeed. > > You said: > > >> We necessarily operate in language "as if" our metaphysics was SOMist, >> >> >> > And because we do so, Western Civilization sits atop the world heap of > power.
