Also, come to think of it, some guilt-wracked SJWs use it to mean "not like me" (more brown/female/non-cis = more human)

I still don't quite get how you guys use the term "object" or "object level".

I don't think "not meta" is as well defined as you guys think. I think meta goes all the way down.

meta goes all the way down but that doesn't mean we can *follow* it all the way down. I don't think we can

I think we can and do. That's basically the point of vipassana, to dissolve ontology.

agree, but I see dissolving ontology as different from finally finding that one bedrock that'll never ever dissolve

Ah, my null hypothesis is that there isn't a bedrock down there. That makes me buddhist by default.
