Dave. I couldn't agree more with your position. But I have a point to make about both you and colored-contents positions. It seems to me that rocking-dave is objectively true in his assessment. But contrastingly, colored-contents post is fairly subjectively-true-enough to live a decent life by. How do y'all regard antinomies like these? I see them from a Neutral Data POV. The data that both of your messages are composed of exists in the same exact way. On digital screens encoded by ones and zeroes as well as in the neurochemistry of biological systems of information with subjective limits in perception. This is an objective observation that can be had if done so from a "zen-like" Neutral Data POV. The data that is common ground between all three of our subjectivities is simply termed Datalogic.
Now here's the plug: I have a post, my first one here from a few weeks back that has a Logical theory that I think may be the Neutral Datalogical Common Ground that I hopefully have conveyed here through text. If I could get honest feedback (like y'all gave) on that Paper in the post titled DMTheory, I think it could be at the very least something that bridges gaps that usually happen due to simple ego blind spots that we all biologically share. And by unifying categorical distinctions in a simple and logical aka falsifiable basis of and for Reality itself.
At any rate thank you for both speaking your mind. Not like you needed my approval. Great dialogue is the result of sincerely speaking your truth and actually listening to the other in pursuit of knowledge and in acquisition of wisdom.
Namaste
