    He also assigns unnecessary properties as being “logically necessary”. Specifically he assigns it as “perfectly good”, which dovetails in nicely with his switch from the “intellect realm” to the “ethical realm”, but since this switch is never explained (again, he didn’t even want us to notice that he was actually talking about 4 realms while claiming there were 3) he never bothers to give a reason why this attribute is “necessary”.

    Good catch, thanks Widdershins.

    And a nice summary,

    It’s all demanding answers, rejecting those answers and then jumping to conclusions about what must be the answer, that which is necessary simply because he insists that it is necessary. Then, since that’s the only explanation he hasn’t rejected, concluding that it is the right answer and that there is no other explanation (that I will not reject on any basis possible, even if I have to make one up!)

     

    CC: It seems to me that you are going out of your way to fit your concept of “Mindscape” into whatever this Penrose mess is.

    Tim actually I thought I was doing it the other way around, but okay, I appreciate the thought.  Seems to me you get it, so keep me on my toes.  😉
