Thanks. I try to push my thinking by imagining how an enlightened transhuman would view the matter. The nature of truth certainly seems paradoxical, especially when we see through the magical thinking that's implicit in the commonsense conception of semantic meaning.

The Eastern religions are closer to this mysticism, which is why I don't criticize them as harshly as I do the theistic religions.

Here are a few other recent articles of mine that try to flesh out a transhuman (enlightened) mentality:
