zerostao Posted November 22, 2014 interesting imagery and commentary. we each have our own perspective, each of our lenses are unique. i see poetry very different than anyone else. i see poetry at the opposite end of the spectrum as philosophy in language. and i see Laozi as poet rather than philosopher. i only mention this becoz we all have our own ideas about this stuff and whether or not i can tell to a materialist (and i have !! LOL) that materialism died around 1880 ce according to the scientific community,, it makes no difference in the enjoyable conversations, exchange of ideas, giving , taking, sharing that happens here on ttb each and every day do i really care if a chair is solid or exists as long as i have a way to use the chair when i need to? 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Marblehead Posted November 22, 2014 and whether or not i can tell to a materialist (and i have !! LOL) that materialism died around 1880 ce according to the scientific community,, You do recall that I recently denounced science, Right? Materialism is alive and well. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
