I've decided that I'm going to reduce the scope of my claims. For now.
At this point I'm willing to assert that:
Everything has both existence and significance. When people confuse one for the other, or only see one of the two aspects of an entity, thinking becomes unclear.
In this schema, the 'existence' is what you might call the absolute aspect, while the significance is the relative aspect. As such, I'm trying to assert that both
Arthur and
Nathan are correct, and both incorrect. I think.
Less ambitious, and yet, perhaps still controversial?
