WHILE WAITING FOR REPLY TO EARLIER 'J'Accuse: Struan Hellier'... (apparently
unanswerable or Struan would have answered them in his general 'letter to
prisigophiles') ...ELEPHANT NOTICES GLARING INCONSISTENCY IN STRUAN'S REPLY
TO HORSE:
COMPARE STRUAN'S FIRST POINT:
> 1) 'All the universe is composed of subjects and objects and anything that
> can't be classified as a subject or object isn't real' (pg121) - Again, nobody
> has ever believed this. Gravity is seen by almost everybody as real ESPECIALLY
> the 'man in the street'. Likewise time.
WITH STRUAN'S SECOND POINT:
> 2)'(SOM) . . insist(s) upon a single exclusive truth' pg122 - Rubbish. It is
> 'true' that water is composed of hydrogen and oxygen. It is also 'true' that
> water is wet. In another sense, it is 'true' that 2+2=4 and it is also true
> that 3+1=4. That H20 is water is a scientific truth and, while the genesis
> story is not a scientific truth, it is a religious truth.
ELEPHANT IS PUZZLED:
Struan, in (1) you cite gravity to argue that nobody holds SOM. In (2) you
argue that SOM has identifiable characteristics which Prisig has
misreported. Please explain, because I'm rather puzzled. How can Prisig be
talking 'rubbish' about what SOM involves if nobody beleives SOM? Because
if Prisig has invented SOM, it can legitimately be said to comprise just
exactly what Prisig says it comprises.
Yours Puzzled
