[ADRIE KINTZIGER]

Hi , Mr Buchanan, The model Pirsig is advokating is based upon making
progress, So is Ant's model, it is based upon the case-evidence, the
material that is availiable,empirical knowledge that is already availiable,
and quality.
So your proposal here, (pluralism, possible fusion,perennialism, inherently
panpsychism), is based upon the same foundations,
It is a proposal for further progress,and i think the only way to make
progress is to handle the material with care, to hold it against the light.,
without distorting it,or damaging it.
All this fields need to be examined. Boulders need to be turned around.
There is no room for"<* speculation>" *what so ever.
Speculation leads to the dark side , Mark, but i see a lot of charm in your
question made,surely will take the time to
think about it,...the word consensus comes to mind,but i'm doubting on it.

I have no doubt on the role of Horse, Mark, i think he is paying for the
electricity that runs the server, and this beiing the case
he has some rights, the right to try to protect some contributors against
their own negative events.
