thanks, its great so far. just from the 2 opening remarks of Huntington and Garfield we are presented with 2 meaningful ways of analyzing reason/conceptuality and nonconceptuality

Stuck in Samsara, mired in Dukkha, pointlessly arguing about something that can never be known.
But I suppose scholars have to do something with their time.
