The Praeternatural and the New Epistemic Deal. This is my proposal for making 2R a reality

I believe that making this specific “you- vs I-” language-based reframing, in order to signal friendliness and same-sidedness by demonstrating perspective-taking capacity, would probably dissolve a majority of the sense of conflict I see in this thread. (I’ll come back later to touch on moderation and power)

Hi James

OK, I’m happy to take all that on board. However, I must point out that the conflict runs much deeper than that. There’s no way to resolve this through improved personal relationships, because there is an underlying ideological conflict that is completely unavoidable.

This thread from this morning nails exactly what is going – see my exchange with Terry: Connected Community Conversations - General - Second Renaissance Forum

It is absolutely essential, to avoid further conflict, that Jonah responds to my 5000 word refutation of materialism: The Hard Problem of Consciousness and 2R - General - Second Renaissance Forum. I posted that specifically to avoid what has actually happened, but it needed engagement from Jonah.
