ID-1 Following Arguments. January 8th, 1986
Following arguments.
There are many good reasons for using reason.
The human mind has the apparently unique capacity to form
abstract ideas and consider how they work.
This form of play allows us to create and contemplate
possibilites without a great deal of risk or effort.
This first section of LETSplay is totally devoted to this level
of exploration.
You are invited to follow a series of connected arguments, to
test and probe them, and to consider the implications they raise.
A certain degree of intellectual honesty is required of the
reader who hopes to learn anything from this exercise.
The ideas offered are so simple and the implied consequences so
dramatic that it is tempting to dismiss the whole thing as "too
good to be true".
The reader is strongly recommended to continually verify from
his/her own experience that the ideas do indeed make sense, both
in themselves, and in reality.
This requires the willingness to look and see what is indeed so
in any situation.
In a guided tour of this nature, it only makes sense to follow
accurately the directions given.
Only those who follow the recipe get the cake.
Since the conclusions of this game are dramatically different
from the current mythologies of conventional economics, the
reader can expect to encounter a certain amount of perplexity.
A flat earth is not consistent with a whole earth.
"Only those who are willing to enter with respect into their deep
and universal ignorance....."
