An Exceptionally Simple Theory of Everything

So after reading MacIntyre, I really think I can use scale to reconcile Aristotle, Liberalism, and Christianity.* Christy, it would seem, agrees with me. My wife does not. Or at least, she wishes that I would go about doing so in a "normal" way ... like, um, going to school. Reading on the bus doesn't count for some reason.

Jessica: I love you, but ... BLAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

:^D

Printed it out for the bus ride tomorrow.

* Christianity and Liberalism are easy: The basic justification for Jesus, Paul and John is, "God told me so." Preference. The force of personality. (See also.)

And MacIntyre's Aristotle? Scale explains tradition really well: Traditions are composed of persons, and these interact with each other. So traditions do resolve into the force of personality ("preferences" in MacIntyre), but to rationally justify a course of action is precisely to fit that preference into a conceptual scheme that is larger than the preferring person. Traditions are necessarily in conflict because abstraction always forces one to emphasize certain low-level realities over others. Feed back to Chad Whitacre.
