What is the key fallacy McVeigh, re. Jaynes?

Ronald Green

My book "Time To Tell" is a dig at those who purport make any comment or point to any theory that does not necessarily include the observer. Anthropic is not a dirt word; its the basis - the only basis - of us in the world.

Agreed that Time To Tell is some kind of "anthropic,"... in the sense that the anthropomorphic (personified) observer is the basis of being (alone and together) in the world, but more than that. Such observer is the basis of good and evil.

A word, like a river and a man (and anthropic) is never the same thing. It is meaning and symbol, i.e., word. However, a word is not what word is. Anything supposedly said about word other than that something, anything or everything is word is the self-contradiction "nothing," a word vulgarly used to smear humans and humanity as lower than dirt.

That everything is word is what anthropism is, rather than the endless (abysmal) nonsense dichotomy (farce ultimately nothing) of why and how being there exists or not, of what word is, namely mere symbol for things being in the world or not, and thereby the ecstasies of the sacred-and-profane of the nonsense sense that existence (and the human genius for amazingly understanding it, but even more the human stupidity for not understanding it) extends infinitely beyond word.

The observer is the synthetic (of being in the world or not, pure subject: present, conscious, mindful of "their own mutual ontological nothingness," their unconsciousness), thus nearly utterly beyond word, the mutually antagonistic tragicomic substitute for word that is the mayhem.
