How does this work for those of you who would like to make static patterns of value synonymous with truth?   ---To the extent that one's behavior is controlled by truths it is without choice.--- Hmmmm?

AND earlier Marsha said to dmb:
Am I expected to defend against a "gnarly knot of a mess", "vacuous nihilism and relativism of the worst kind", "incoherent belief that the intellect is forever trapped in or identical to SOM" or the missing "repeated explanations as to the logical impossibility of this view."? And rhetorically ending with the statement "It's hateful and contemptuous of intellectual values." surely does demonstrate the highest level of your intellectual competency. I think I'll pass. 


dmb says:
At one moment you pretend that my accusations of anti-intellectualism are nothing more than rhetoric and in the next moment you're happy to make a case that truth means being controlled, that it'll keep you from being free.

I think you have hereby demonstrated your anti-intellectualism. If you don't see that you suffer from a great confusion and/or you are not capable of being honest. Either way, you're talking out both sides of your ass. What a mess.
