I guess it was just my backward schools that taught that synonyms were words
that meant the same thing. never mind then. The point stand though, they
refer to similar concepts, but are not the same thing. I think that's rather
important.

Of course. The problem is I've been trying Really Really hard to give you
reasons for why it's a bad idea and you have consistently ignored or
distorted those reasons. One of the problems I see here is that you really
are not interested in being proven wrong. You're idea is what makes you
attached to your idea. If you were to take Our idea, that ideas are not
inseperable from individuals, you would have the metaphysical tools to back
down fromt his argument. It's a lovely catch-22 isn't it?

You're too attached to this idea, and reufse to listen to reason, logic or
differing viewpoints. And the reason you're attached to this idea, is
because of this very idea! That's why it is a low Quality idea. Because it
is a static pattern so strong it has completely blocked you off from Dynamic
Intellectual Quality.

A few critics as in every single other person in this discussion group? I
know. You can't drop the idea because nobody else likes it, because you're
an individual! So you're idea must be much better than the idea that more
than one person shares.

Can't you see how this idea has completely trapped you?

You're stuck in static patterns, unable to get to new ideas. It's terrible.
