Not at the same time, no. First he says it's a universal, then he denies
universals, then he says it's a universal, then he denies universals. You
just have to keep up with him and he stays true. It is just a sort of
Euclidian geometry that prevents something from being both true and false
"at the same time", because the "at the same time" turns out to be
meaningless, merely a logical hang-up for stubborn minds who don't want to
ride the DQ of ever-oscillating truths. Most things are both true and
false, because the observer changes, the context changes, the whole universe
changes, at every moment, and it is impossible to stay in a moment long
enough to nail anything down. You don't have time to hang a sign...
Just being silly...(no i'm not)
Johnny
