Dear Off_World, whoever you are, i think it is a brilliant position you take and try to entrench. I am with you on that. But, where is its virtue if it is not coupled with social progress? It is like you thrust with "peer review science" and then unable to stand up along with the argument you run the other way taking its conclusions with you. You could have been an ayatollah in the larger TM-jihad along with the likes of Jon Hagelin but you drop the banner? What are you afraid of in your thinking? That Rick or Alex might reveal your identity here and that you would get banned from the Dome? I am intriqued with your seeming virtue, whoever you are. Your seeming principle & cool humility. Just on the brink as you deploy it, you then spurn TM-jihad by declining to lead it further. It is laid in your lap and you declined it. You could have been an Ayatollah. A spiritual leader of jihad. A "Captain", a leader of citizen Meditators for the Age of Enlightenment. But no, you decline the power of your principle. [Power and even riches<You decline what could be vast offshore bank accounts for you too?>] You decline the mantel of TM-jihad to hold only the rights of being ultra- conservative orthodox Mr. peer-review science. Is this a noble thing you argue here on principle and would give up everything else just to secure it in isolation. But to what end do you demure? Are you not up to such the power of your principle? You write here anonymously and back-peddle as fast as you can. Where are you going with this, with every fiber of your being? Have you an ambition with this and are you not up to it? I admire your peer-review position but wonder really about where you are with it in these times.
