I almost feel odd mentioning this because I'm only 60-some pages into a 3000 page book but Iain McGilchrist's 'The Matter with Things' touts this issue as a major theme, particularly in dealing with individual 'things' as limit-cases of reality rather than reality itself.

Obviously that's a lot of reading (have yet to prove that I'll make it even 1/3 of the way through myself although I've taken on big reading tasks before), you might perhaps check out some of his interviews on the book and see if you can glean his meaning from some of those but this builds on Master and His Emissary and gets into how individual 'things' as more of a left-brained approach, holism as more of a right-brained approach, that we use each lens for different purposes (such as finding food/prey with the 'things' left brain and monitoring for novelty and predators with the right brain).

I can see where if it's like that, and we're trying to decide between two semi-opponent processes that our minds are divided into that the best we can perhaps do is establish meaningful things that can be said about things vs. wholes and the relationships to each other rather than saying which is more fundamental, IMHO that seems almost like a misuse of grammar - ie. like what's better, simple derivatives or using Euler's formula for complex numbers? Best answer perhaps - it depends what you're trying to do.






i Have No Problem Admitting For 53 Years,

i Lived A Life More Restricted to Left Brain
Processes as Described by Iain McGilchrist

In His Books That Describe The Different
Processes Between Left And Right Hemisphere

Ways of Processing The Environment And World Within.

Left Brain Restricted, Is A Very Limited World View, Indeed, Comparable

to Watching 3 Channels of Black And White TV Versus Yes, Actually Being

Alive; Yes, Over 1500 Pages in Hardback Form, His Current Book "The Matter

With Things" and Around 140 Bucks or So to Buy It Online in Hard Cover Version;

And Around 40 Bucks to It Buy in E-Book Style; I'll Probably Read it For Free in
Barnes And Noble When it Becomes Available in That Store, Where i Usually
Finish A Book In Around An Hour, While Dancing A Meditative Public Dance,

And Listening to Meditative Music, Really Operating in Peak Flow of Human Potential.

Anyway, Some Folks Stay
Restricted More in A Left
Brain Process Way,

Basically

Missing Out on

More Than Half

of Their Human Potentials;

Particularly, the Blissful Parts that Stay
And Are Truly Mastered By Regulating
Emotions and Integrating Senses Far

Beyond the 'Word
Talk' of "Left

Brain"

Cognitive

Behavioral Therapy Versus Activity

More Attuned to Meditative Arts;
Both Sitting Still And Moving to
Ascend And Transcend A More Black

And White Limited 3 Channel TV Way of Life;

A Good Metaphor is Living Life on the Other
Side of An Opaque Window And One Day Finally

Seeing Thru The Other Side of the Continent of Mind

And Saying Wow, i Really Feel Alive, Naked, Enough,

Whole Complete;

Really It's hard
to Feel that

Way Operating

With '8 of 12
Cylinders' Not Working...

-Ferrari

Coming From the

'Sense' of Someone

Who Believes A Man

Was LITERALLY
Resurrected

From Death

On A

Cross;

Rather
Rich Indeed;
Rationality
ACTUALLY INTIMATED FOR REAL.

NO THANKS, I CHOOSE SCIENCE AND THE ART OF NATURE FOR GOD;

OR CAN AND WILL YOU DEFEND YOUR VIEWS OF WHAT'S REAL IN EXISTENCE, TOO?

Notice How
Silent the

Room Will

Get Once

The 'Foe'

Is Asked

To Defend the
IRRATIONAL WAYS HE SEES EXISTENCE.

Of Course, It's Easier to Attack Style Than Actual Substance...

Strange That Gifted High School Folks Who have the Ability to Understand me do...

No, Not Really,

They Just

Have

That
Kind of
Intelligence
Developed In Youth...

Yet They Are No REAL Fools

Believing That Humans Are
Resurrected Literally From the
Dead, Just Because a Mix-Match
Script of Text Authored By Ghost Authors
Thousands of Years Ago Says It Happened then...

Master the

Story or

Be Ruled By

It, Believing in the
After Death More than
Living Epically Heavenly Now Like me too,

Hehe, if That is the Extent of Your Free Will Now...

The thread has been cleaned.
Guys: one thing is expressing unfavorable opinions on someone's beliefs or opinions.
Another thing is gang-trolling like what I've seen here.
That's been absolutely unacceptable.
