@St_Rev I have years, that's why I did not intend to "burn you" -
@soapjackal OK. Then consider the 'demon' metaphor as a point of view in the Zhuangist mode, *a* (not *the*) dao. cf. http://st-rev.livejournal.com/400106.html -
@St_Rev I think your metaphor functions quite well in multiple aspects, I have agreed with the same basic idea, but... -
@St_Rev the more the demon resembles a philosophical zombie the more it seems to align with what you are communicating -
@soapjackal In this metaphor 'demons' are certainly intelligent, & *in some sense* sentient inasmuch as they use human brains to think with. -
@St_Rev the difficulty is if your demon is self directed -
@soapjackal Yeah. Demons exist, they're unavoidable if you use language. Suggests the path to freedom goes through demonology. -
@St_Rev or at least the renunciation of language - 2 more replies
