Bo, Scott (when you return)

Bo applauded:
It's positive that you disagree with Paul. I can only add that the
MOQ is S/Oish in the sense of being "out of" Intellect (but not
subordinate to it).
Paul:
When you and Scott say "S/O," it seems to me you are talking about
different things. I think Scott is using S/O in the broad sense of
"thinking about..." in which the content of thought is the object to the
thinking subject - this is in contrast to SOM which is a specific
metaphysical position holding mind or matter to be fundamental reality.
I think Bo is talking about the epistemological distinction of
subjective versus objective where "objective" is seen as a synonym for
"true."
As such, although you applaud Scott for disagreeing with me, you don't
appear to agree on why you are disagreeing! Any port in a storm though,
eh?
Paul
