Ron,
That's an interesting point of view (if not quite the type of contribution that
I was expecting)!
As such, it would be helpful - if you have the time & inclination - if you
could list other "common logic traps that inhibit critical thinking practices"
or just simply recommend a book and/or on-line paper about this subject to read.
Either way, many thanks for "chipping in" here!

Ant,
I hesitate to generalize so broadly when we mean that specific condition of
modern western cultural tradition. There are several historical markers of
thought to consider from Platonism/Christian theology to Descartes and 19th
century physicalism/scientific objectivism. Coupled with the current problems
attributed to it by a decline in pedagogical systems of a corporate nature.
The classification of SOM as one of several types of common logic traps that
inhibit critical thinking practices would, in my opinion, render a large
portion of any anti-Intellectual argument mounted as superfluous. Saving a lot
of time in explanation.

Dear all!,
Nice to be back! Anyway, I was thinking recently (after last month's MOQ
lecture at Liverpool University) that a definition of SOM might be "any
metaphysics that, implicitly or explicitly, DEFINES the Good". Any sensible
thoughts about this definition and how it might be improved will be appreciated.
