Robert,
I was very happy to read your response, as it shed much light upon my
understanding of your ideas. Unfortunately for our discussion, I am going
out of town for an entire month and will not have access to a computer, let
alone my email. Hence I really don't have enough time to prepare an
adequate response to your very intellectually-rich paper, so please excuse
me if I do not respond immediately. By no account does this mean that I
will not respond when I return, so please, please wait.
While I am away, I do plan to prepare my response, in which I would like to
include some of the following topics:
You write, "Can we proceed onto "self" and then onto "morality"."
First of all, I must say that I agree with your statement that we are on the
same wavelength, but we may be not eye to eye on the specifics. Hopefully
we can discuss these specifics soon. You say that there is a structure to
the external world and I agree. I believe that through precise analyzing of
knowledge we may know what this structure is, if anything at all. In doing
so, we immediately gain self-knowledge, as anything we cannot ascribe to
this external world we may shuffle over to ourselves. This may seem like a
contradiction to my previously expressed philosophy, however it is not, and
I will attempt to prove this later.
Your system's morality is definitely another subject in need of responding
to (although others have already, my fatal attention to detail just makes
getting to this a longer process), a subject that logically and
apodictically extends from an interpretation of the self.
The last thing I plan on writing about is how this all relates to the MOQ.
Although we may say we are on the same wavelength, at the same time I say
that I am on the same wavelength as the MOQ (Of course, you need to remove
the superfluities and mysticism). It seems to be an appropriate enough
topic, as we are in the MOQ DISCUSS.
Sorry again I can't respond immediately, however I look forward to one month
from now when I can,
Ryan
