Ummm, not a fact, but a belief you have acquired.  Facts are agreed with by
everybody, like "the world is flat" was in 1491.  Well, there was this one
guy.  I think Queen Isabella liked him.

And if others choose to believe in nonsense I can't stop them.

Where did I ever say, "subjects and objects are all there is"?  Static and
Dynamic Quality is all there is.  imHo, the Intellectual Level is what says
"subjects and objects are all there is".

Yeah.  To learn to trust, they must first be trusted.
Or, I guess you could say, they need a lot of rope.  Few things are quite so
enlightening as reaching the end of it.  Oops!

Have a good one!
