Hello logos!!! SO GOOD to see you. You've been really "scarce" around here lately. Hope all is well with you and yours.
Thank you so much for the lovely verses..."so very near, and yet ineluctably beyond the reach of our own unaided powers...."
WRT to above italics: You will probably not be surprised to learn that I expected the reaction to this post would tend to "prove" its premise. Speaking as a battle-scarred veteran of 'way too many Evo-Crevo threads, I had some suspicion that this might be the case....
LOL - You're too much, BB. Anyone agreeing with Voegelin is evidence confirming his basic rightness, and anyone questioning Voegelin with a modicum of skepticism...is also evidence confirming his basic rightness. Heads you win, tails I lose. May I politely suggest that you've stacked the deck, consciously or unconsciously, in favor of continually reinforcing that which you already believe to be true? ;)
