Ha. you’re making a different kind of claim… but yes, i see where you’re going now. I’m not sure that the fact that “the site of the struggle” is in the wrong place should force us to change the conversation at hand. The plain fact is that things like “how to attach a wing” are MUCH easier to identify than whether this “is a good plane”. One is straight and one is curvy (and lets face it, I’m not attached to that language, but used different language to try and avoid this very discussion, not because it isn’t important but because i’d already hit 2000 words and had 2 sick kids on Sunday)

People favour the straight knowledge because it’s easy to talk about and makes their world feel more secure… (or maybe some of them just like it) I favour the curvy stuff because I THINK IT’S MORE IMPORTANT. And, much like the debate between and atheist and an zealot… there is no frame of reference that I know for hte discussion… We have two philosophical continents following two different journeys… one reductive and the other explorative.
