[MD] X = no-self

[Arlo Bensinger]

[Marsha]
I do not insist.

[Arlo]
The evidence points to the contrary. If you truly didn't insist, 
there would not be an archive filled with posts from "Marsha" (and 
that's just one example of insistence).

[Marsha]
It's a conventional label for pragmatic purposes.

[Arlo]
The continuity and perseverance of a stable "self" has value then? 
The "self" is a value pattern, then, no?

[Marsha]
I would say that not all interconnections are of equal value.

[Arlo]
This is not the point. A <--> B and X <--> Y may have different value 
degrees, sure, but the interaction of A <--> B is a reflection on both A and B.

[Marsha]
You seem to be jumping to conclusion that make no sense to me.

[Arlo]
You seem to be saying that what you are "called" has nothing to do 
what you "do" or "say". I'd say it is that that makes no sense.
