Thank you David, I’m taking your feedback in good spirit! Also, you are spot on re the Cartesian aspect - definitely a blind spot I hadn’t recognised…I guess it tells about how indoctrinated one can remain to certain paradigms. Need to have a rethink about an alternative approach that would still be accessible.
This is interesting. I'm skeptical of using "awakened" -- both for its current political connotations in the US, but more deeply because much of what is at issue is NOT the product of high lucidity. Dream states, the subconscious. Mysticism, long days and nights in deserts. Dionysus not Apollo. Usw.
By the same token, more or less, I'm struck by the Cartesian rhetoric and graphics (orthogonal!) in the service of what seems to me a very non, even anti, Cartesian project. That said, in certain environments, e.g. engineering and to a lesser extent finance, such rhetoric may be persuasive.
Aki, please understand that I don't mean these rather off the cuff responses as counter-arguments. More as encouragement, maybe spurs to more thinking . . . You are on to very important things, and I hope you keep it up/I look forward to reading more. (Indeed, I should re-read this with more care.). Bravo.
