    Hi Matt, Scott, Erin,

    I think I'm with Matt on the concept v essence question. I don't see why you
    have to have essences in order to have concepts. Scott - is what you are
    describing different from Platonic Forms or Ideas? That concepts are
    (somewhat) time-independent is a grammatical point, not a factual point,
    isn't it?

    The actual outlook is very dark, and any serious thought should start from
    that fact. (George Orwell)
