As far as the laws of mathematics refer to reality, they are not certain; and as far as they are certain, they do not refer to reality. ~ Albert Einstein

I saw this over at Open Integral and felt compelled to share it with you. 

Integral Argumentation

Step 0: Welcome to today?s Integral Debate! Let?s get started ?

Step 1: You specialize only in a particular field of knowledge, while I specialize in an inter-field system, connecting all, indeed connecting and including the entire universe of knowledge, all the way up and down

Step 2: I include more than you and thus must speak at a higher level than you, your field of knowledge is included within mine as simply one aspect

Step 3: Because I address an inter-field system, a universal system, my vocabulary is naturally more expansive and extensive than yours, the meaning of my words eludes you and your words are not up to competition in my playing field. Each word and phrase of mine is massively more significant than reams of words from you.

Step 4: My system includes Spirit, yours does not; If I come to any accurate conclusion, I must know something about Spirit; You might then even say I am somewhat realized spiritually

Step 5: Since I am then realized, the systems I come up with are blessed in a way yours are not, so again you cannot hope to hold your own

Step 6: Since your field is small, partial, limited, lower, not-blessed, not coming from realization and speaks in a limited and ridiculously narrow vocabulary in any case, it?s simply a waste of time to even pretend to debate with you

Step 7: Since you cannot understand any of this because of your embeddedness in this small view, you cannot even understand that you have already lost the debate

Step 8: So, I will take your existence as acknowledgment of the situation, and thank you for tacitly admitting your incompetence

Step 9: Rest assured, however, that you will surely be included in the master integral view, and have a cozy spot provided there from where you may unknowingly contribute to the greater integral vision, which unfortunately, you cannot understand

Step 10: Eventually the surging waves of integral fever we stimulate will wash you clean in some way you will not comprehend and then we will be happy to welcome you into the integral temple

Step 11: Until then, have a nice, integral day, and thank you for participating!

Wow...........I suspect I know a couple of people who may even be capable of writing that.

Haven't seen that before, thanks Michael, totally hilarious, and fits nicely with Steven's comparison to Evangelists. Nothing is more dangerous than thinking you have all the answer, even an Integral one.

Does make one wonder ahtever happened to skillful means though.
