dmb,
Regarding illusion, yes, illusory in the sense of having independent or
absolute existence. I have explained this many times, and yes, I'm sticking to
it.

Be it the case, dmb, that you want to accuse me of reifying your monkey mind,

Hi David B and all,
The structure of metaphysics DQ/SQ differs from a mathematical structure of
logic. Mathematical structure does not support indefinable reality it only
eliminates it. In mathematics DQ/SQ is a nonentity.
Metaphysics has a different approach to logic from physics. Evolution

What's striking about DT's bizarre mockery is that it actually mocks Marsha's
anti-intellectual nihilism but does not touch the MOQ. Marsha likes to paint
all static knowledge as hypothetical, as illusions, as reifications and
falsifications, as wispy unrealities - but that's exactly what my

How can I describe a feeling for logic? What I learned at my mother's knee.
Metaphysics do not have a base in logic since metaphysics create logical
reality. Defective metaphysics accept an illogical base in describing
reality e.g., SOM.

dmb,
So now rather than evaluate post modern ideas, you're going to personalize them
by reifying me [Marsha] into a post-modernist. For me the “self” is a flow of
ever-changing, conditionally co-dependent and impermanent static patterns:

There is a strong analogy here with postmodernism. Just as psychopaths lack
moral virtues and values and do not want them, postmodernists lack epistemic
