snip...You ascribe to me a philosophy I have not expressed. Then you proceed to attack this straw philosophy.
Spirited: You most certainly have expressed it. Your stated goal of ‘blurring distinctions’ is the prescription of Monism. Some examples of Monistic philosophy/ideology here in America are the following:
1. Materialism, empiricism
2. Progressivism
3. Progressivized Christianity (aka liberal theology)
4. Socialism in its every variant
5. New Age
6. Darwinism
All of the above are grounded on Naturalism-—the idea of a closed rather than open system—and have the effect of, in your own words, blurring distinctions by reducing all things to ‘one.’ This is Monism.
Do you get to add me to your collection if you pin me down?
Or is this merely your way of dismissing anyone with whom you disagree?
I assure you, if in your amoeboid hunger you are trying to encompass my thinking within your limited understanding of it, you are spreading yourself too thin.
