Well, you are entitled to your opinion, but I still think there is a
similarity. You presented to the list no more than a fuzzy idea
yourself, with no links to anything more detailed. The above sentence is
nothing more than a claim, with no argument in it. However, if you
merely want to distance yourself from supporting my ideas, fine.

| two systems of reasoning: one for reasoning about
| morals/values/agents, the other for reasoning about
| physics/inanimate things. But both are systems of
| reasoning. Just in cazse you're interested, here are
| some more of the synergistic pairs in my theory:
|
| Heath-Happiness
| Altruism-Growth
| Eudaimonia-Volition
| Explanation-Perception
| Pattern-Meaning
| Coherence-Causality
I don't think that I am, in my mind, at all mistaken about what you are
doing with your system. Neither do I think you are mistaken about my
ideas. I do, however, think you mis-understood what I was trying to say
to the list. I'm not going to bother going further into it - I think we
are talking at cross-purposes.
Cheers,
