[MD] Iain McGilchrist

J-A,

You seem to present the big WE to reflect what goes on on your head.  I find that terribly misguided, and your lecture boring.  My comment was a spontaneous response to what I was reading in the McGilchrist interview.  That you would project my comment into more or less is your problem, not mine.  I can deal with both sides because they are the same coin.

The cube has six sides, (which is a number that will not ever change at all on a cube), and we can test an infinite number of times what the sum will be and we will find that the chance for any number will be equal if it is a good dice. If it is prepared in some way to show one digit more often than the other we will call it a false dice, a humbug and those who use that kind of dices will be called cheaters and take a high risk if the other players are armed.

The result is dependent of declared circumstances. If someone is taking a half step further to the door the definition of a half step is changed for every step and therefore that allegory is a fraud. Because we are searching for TRUE intellectual patterns, patterns that doesn't change or risk the outcome for the user. Intellectual patterns are set to be rigid and stiff just because we are using them over and over again. This rigidity doesn't imply that a Monday is always grey or an R is spoken the same way in every word all over the world.
