I'm not in agreement.
so we aren't "all", nor will we ever be. People are like that.


X, you know perfectly well that I know to make allowances for you and would never say "all." This is what I said.

<<I still say that we've acknowledged it. Do we have to have 100% conformity? Rote mumbling of some mantra? Is it so threatening to the consensus that a handful of intellectuals are expressing a counterpoint? It's their nature and their job to express a counterpoint. There has to be a counterpoint to illuminate and clarify the boundaries of the point.

Those who express the counterpoint out of relativism or universality or simply tolerance or kindness wouldn't personally choose to trade in their tradition to the other.>>
