Don't be overly concerned for me. I'm still using my mind.
Of that I've had no doubt, but OM-zombie seemed befitting of what Doron seems to be expecting.
There are some issues around Doron's OM that I have wanted to be able to discuss with him but haven't had an entry place of mutual understanding to do so.
I believe I have that now.
And if this blew up in my face, I would have to accuse Doron of being totally disingenuous and worse.
But that is where you have placed him already.
"The Value," "Singularity," and now "Direct Perception" are terms unique to Doron to reference the state of consciousness in which there is no differentiation of objects, or one element as opposed to another.
It's not an assertion of something that evidence can be offered as to its existence or non-existence, or its truth-value. It's just a state of consciousness.
The question comes in whether or not the interaction of Local/Non-Local principles of thought is a model of the way we think or a stick figure caricature.
That it is a verbal expression of differentiation is not in dispute, as far as I'm concerned.
Also the supposed utility of the OM partitions is something I want to discuss with Doron.
And then there's the place of mathematical infinity.
I'm not expecting I'll change his point of view.
To a great degree this is a religious matter.
And you know how those things go, whether its Christianity or Rationalism.
I hope at best to move this into a sane, civilized exchange rather than the bickering that's been going on here (and I've participated in).
If it blows up in my face again, I promise to bow out, and hope that others will as well.
Well I wish you the best of luck with that and if Doron were to assert it as simply some religious matter I would most likely bow out as well. However since Doron ascribes this as some paradigm shift in math without apparently understanding that math he purports to be supplanting, then I will remain (like others) to actually give that math its due consideration. Likewise I harbor no delusions of changing Doron’s point of view, but to simply remain as one of the voices of actual math that Doron should have paid more attention to low these many years. I too have hoped to move the discussion to a more productive exchange several times, however Doron’s notions are so engrained in a basic misunderstanding of current math that he can’t even bring himself to just say, “Yes that is how the current paradigm defines, describes or utilizes that concept, while my new paradigm takes this different approach”. Instead he insists that his misinterpretations and misrepresentations of current mathematics are a failure of current mathematics and not simply his misunderstanding of current mathematics. The sad fact is Apathia without the uncivilized bickering and misconceptions, I am afraid that Doron would actually have little to say beyond the simply trivial. I hope I am wrong and you are right that there is some utility to this (at least for Doron’s sake), but Dorn has had ample opportunities and presented nothing but simply trivial, contradictory or irrelevant rhetoric, while you have in fact been doing most of the actual work of trying to find some philosophical bases and utility within this discussion.
