Here is an interesting thing that bears examining;
Now Hypo has left the arena for whatever reason.
Before leaving he suggests that I did not know anything about Mr. Polyani but simply went over to a website and read the contents. In my opinion, he offers no response to the point I made.
So now lets go to the that site. Here is the link
http://www.infed.org/thinkers/polanyi.htm
Now for anyone with the brains, and the integrity, scroll down to near the bottom of that page. and I quote;
"Michael Polanyi placed a strong emphasis on dialogue within an open community (a theme taken up later strongly by the physicist David Bohm). He recognized the strength by which we hold opinions and understandings and our resistance to changing them."
Now go back to the "Anti-Jack" Thread and read a few of his posts. What do you notice? Anyone? Is this an example of "dialogue within an open community"..Check out the shitty smear tactics used when talking about Jack, his method and his way of teaching. Anyone following this?
This wasn't an open dialogue, it was an attempt to smear Jack and everything about his method. There was no "open community" because most of the comments were from Hypo, his aliases or from bullshit artists like Chicken Little and his friends. It was basically an extended "drive by".
Hypo, If you wish to quote the work of a philosopher to justify your position, make sure you don't get "hoisted on your own petard".
I had high hopes for you Hypo. You wanted a dialogue and you got it.
You let me know when you are ready for another one.

Edit:
This was fun. No swearing or cussing. Civil dialogue as requested and then the same result as before. Lets do this again soon.
