** Evolution redub

[galacticchick]

Today Michael and I notified Centerlink that we are officially a couple. This might sound trivial, but for both of us it was an interesting trigger point in our evolution as partners, both being careful with the protection of our core selves, both having issues from recent and long term history about various relationship related things. In the end

I read that Ghost Not article and found it very interesting. Given my background in formal logic, the arguments he makes that try to ground things out in formal logic and Primary Algebra make no sense to me. I think I get part of what he's getting at (I think it's The Fundamental Error) but I don't grok the negation-flipping thing.

I also find it useful as a framework, but don't necessarily agree with his workings- the Progstone discussion board was a place where some of the issues with his methods were raised in more depth and highlighted some of the shortcomings of his particular approach

just in further, it would be really interesting to get your feedback on the bulk of Alan's view (there's a lot of stuff in there about Asperger's, autism, ADD and CFS, as well as social memes and patterns, Ghost Nots etc etc) in comparison to your approach to things through The Fundamental Error.

Given that I have very little framework for knowing the work that you do, it would be an awesome exploration for me as well as a way of expanding my own understanding... :)

The upcoming book is The Usual Error. That is the error of assuming that others are just like you. The Fundamental Error is the sequel. That is the error of confusing the map for the territory. (Basically. It's much harder to explain and to wrap one's head around than the usual error.) The Usual Error (the book) is more about communication and problem solving, and The Fundamental Error is more blatantly about self-work.

and also why I was happy to take a step back in communicating with you all because I knew that's what you were working on:

Um, no. We've really only spent a handful of hours per week working on The Usual Error. I had no idea that that was a factor in you communicating with us less.

having me going through the intense grief period that I've been going on for the past two and a bit months isn't really constructive to add to the stuff the triad has been going through

From your posts, it sounds like you're coming out of your intense grief period, though. Is that true?
