I think it is interesting that you experience yourself inhabiting your expanding explanatory systems, exchanging the more limited for those better able to cover all the various aspects of lived experience. While I have tended to keep all the systems handy and move about among them. I'm the fish moving between habitats. None of them completely satisfies all aspects of my lived experience. All of them work very well for parts of my mental life. Some are way better at at holding together almost everything. I usually stick with those and visit the others!
But it looks like we're the last ones left here. Not so much interest in this type of exchange?
I think debate is the coin of the realm here but we're free to create all the alternative sub-currents we like. The threads with the most activity aren't always the ones I enjoy most.
