[MD] Neopragmatism isn't pragmatic.

Gav,

You said
"language creates intellectual reality: the realm of
analogues; an abstract plane. but the abstract has to
be abstracted from something...and that something is
pre-intellectual primary reality.

we can't find primary reality with the intellect but
it is a necessary precondition for the intellect's
existence; and i am usually pretty sure the intellect
exists."

I say, Hallelujah. More power to your elbow.
Let's synthesize (rather than destructively analyse) from there.
It's a statement of the Catch-22, the Fly-Bottle. Choose your metaphor.

Why do we need to look for demons, when we have angels like Gav ?
Shall I leave that line in ? OK, go on then.
