[MD] Reading Lessons

[Ian Glendinning]

Hi Horse, meta-reification ?

In this exchange, by renaming the thread as a comment targetted at
Marsha, rather than the subject matter, DMB has violated his own
quoted words ... "attachment and aggression ARISE THROUGH REIFYING
them, which violates the principle that all things are interdependent,
and all entities are conditional approximations."

DMB you are reifying the word reify, attaching yourself to your
understanding of it and defending it aggressively .... against another
person.

My perspective .... you, DMB and Marsha actually agree on this subject
- what reification is for practical purposes - where you differ is in
attitiude to presumed motivations for arguing. IMHO natch.

BTW I agree with DMB's one liner that MOQ is ALL about reification (ie
avoiding its pitfalls) .... hence my observation on your edict. And
hence the supreme IRONY in this recent set if debates .... where DMB
incidentally ignores all my attempts to point out the irony, in
exchanges with John, Matt etc - ironically of course ;-)
