Hi David,

: Wow, what a co-incidence! As I said to Wilber, I find Platt to be a vacuous
: windbag. Just kidding. I spoke with Ken Wilber once, but I swear Platt's
: name never came up. :-) But seriously, so far all you've done is simply say
: you disagree, but without saying why, without actually engaging any of his
: thoughts or ideas. All you've done so far is dismiss him and call him names.
: This just doesn't cut it. Its nothing.
My point was precisely that Wilber wasn't saying anything that you hadn't already said, and that we
hadn't already debated. He was just an extra voice, one that you respect and that I don't. When you
make points I'll deal with them; I'll read the Wilber extracts you post (and I'll even go and have
another look at his website, maybe I'll even read something of his) but don't expect me to focus on
what he says rather than what you say. Life's too short.
