If you are referring to post 57, the mumbo jumbo in it is a QUOTE from Voegelin. If you think any of this stuff means anything, please state it in straight-forward fashion. P(X), P(Y), P(Z). I think Roger Scruton has proved that it is possible to restate philosophical arguments in simple, declarative sentences. By the way, I immediately suspect all "philosophical" writing that spends an inordinate amount of time dwelling on what other people wrote. That smacks of arguments from authority, and the days when a sentence from Aquinas or the Bible could defeat any rational argument.

If this stuff is really mumbo jumbo, then why the passionate reaction? If you really believe this is mumbo jumbo, you could just have yourself a good chuckle and pass on by....
