Like Whit, I’m sorry we didn’t properly connect at St. Giles. I think we’d have had a rich exchange.

You’re right: simplification often seems like the starting point, but I wonder whether the deeper issue isn’t just epistemological, but ontological. What if both dominant approaches begin—not merely in over-simplified knowledge—but in a misunderstanding of being itself?

That’s the question I’ve been circling in a recent reflection:

Would be curious to know how it lands with you.

Warmest wishes,

Terry

Eh, should have spoken with you at St. Giles. This is a plausible story you're telling. Perhaps over-simplified, but then your case would seem to be that both approaches you critique begin in over-simplification, too.

Best,

Whit
