snip: I am the fighter against such compartmentalization, or I would not have sought to blur the distinctions between machine and “complex systems” with my analogy of the candle.
Spirited: Your need to ‘blur the distinctions’ arises from your adherence to Monism. Monism is a relentless reducer of everything to ‘oneness.’ For example:
Rather than male and female, there must be ‘one’ transgendered being. This agenda moves forward in America by way of ‘gay’ rights. What is ‘gay’ but the negation of immutable distinction.
Rather than good and evil, truth and lies, there must be moral relativism. Consequently, many Americans can no longer discern between true victims and their victimizers. Hence, they have become apologists for evil.
Rather than Light and Dark, there must be grey. Everything becomes grey.
The logical consequence of this way of reasoning is cognitive dissonance; madness.
America is on a fast-track downward. Out of control, she spins ever-downward into madness.
You ascribe to me a philosophy I have not expressed. Then you proceed to attack this straw philosophy.
Do me a favor, stop trying to psychoanalyze me. You are almost certainly wrong, and you are embarrassing yourself.
You simply do not know me, at all. You would probably be better off casting horoscopes for the gullible among us.
