A Buddhist friend (Lyn Hartley) shared this with me, knowing my interest in complexity. Having very little knowledge of Buddhism I won't comment except to say...
Sounds fine, I agree with Alice MacGillivray(?) in VERY little knowledge in Buddhism I wonder if they point by "complexity theory" to the convolutedness of the...
The entire paradigm of postmoderism is based on eastern thought, including all of science, not just the complexity paradigm. Just as ,in similar fashion, all...
Good point Jon. Makes perfect sense (if one ascribes to a postmodern lens on complexity more than a Theory of Everything lens). ... interest in ... comment...

Hi David, Thanks for your comments. I guess some confusion may be over the definition of modernism. By modernism, I mean the era, and the world view, that...
List, Jon, John, Alice: A good bit of over generalization I would say. Jon writes: "The entire paradigm of postmoderism is based on eastern thought, including...
Hi Jerry et al. Furthermore I was under the impression that postmodernism (at least the skeptical thread) is antiparadigmatical (if there is such a word) –...
Kurt. thanks for a clearminded post. I 'hate' the word "postmodern" (ism or else) because I am trapped to an ever returning meaning of 'modern' vs. 'the old' ....

Only time for a comment about one part of Jon's post: "This whole idea of putting forth an idea like postmodernism, and then claiming it can't be defined,...

That's an interesting point John about the usage of `modern' and `post-modern'. It is a shame that `modernism' seems to have been linked so closely to...
