[MD] Contradiction and incoherence.

Mark and Marsha,

Let me start fresh and describe what I'm thinking, as clearly as I can.

There is relative truth in the statement, "the tendency over time for
conceptualization to  become less useful" is true, IF we add in a missing
assumption or corellary or phrase "qua conceptualization".

That is, as a narrowing focus or defining label or "pinning down" of
reality - a conceptualization of reality, it becomes less "pinnable" the
more you examine it.  Like a hypothesis of any part of reality, the more
you think about it, the bigger it gets.

I think the problem for me, is that with enlightenment on the subject,
comes the realization that this is a good thing, and not a "less useful"
one.  In the end, it is the infinite regress of knowledge from inquiry that
places us squarely in an open-ended and infinite cosmos.  A Quality
cosmos.  Whereas if things were really reducible to machine-perfect
precision? We'd be living in a machine, part of the machinery.

Some of us as viruses,

J
