[MD] Emptiness & Quantum Mechancics

[david buchanan]

John transcribed the last couple of minutes for Marsha:

"The two radical poles- that which is absolutely objective  and that which absolutely subjective, are null sets, they're equally empty.  Now where does
 that leave us? The foolish person says 'I get it -  Nothing exists- Nihilism - foolishness.  What I want to do, metaphorically, is take out a little knife and pffft - (pop their balloon).  I want to bring them back.  Yes, absolute objectivity and absolute subjectivity - empty.    So where is reality to be found? The entanglement between."  (B. Alan Wallace)



dmb says:

Yea, I noticed that too. I think it would be reasonable to say Wallace has some legitimate authority on the topic and so his assertions can be used as evidence in making a case about the meaning of "Nothingness". But it's pretty clear to me that this would count as evidence against Marsha's position and I think foolish nihilism is a pretty fair description of it.
