I have been asked the question; Why belabor my objections to our common use of the PATHOGEN model when it comes up with the same ‘distancing’ strategy as you are getting to with your ‘modern physics’ based (relational) interpretation of what’s up with COVID 19?

My point is that ‘going along with’ the abstract concept of a PATHOGEN distorts our understanding of ‘reality’ so that it ‘departs’ from our sensory experience of inclusion in the transforming relational continuum.

There is ‘nothing new’ here; i.e. what I am talking about is that reality is better understood, as Schroedinger puts it, in terms that SUBJECT AND OBJECT ARE ONE.   I agree with that view and it is also affirmed by David Bohm in his works and in his endorsement of the indigenous aboriginal understanding of reality, which also gives understanding wherein FIGURE and GROUND are ONE, rather than TWO, as in our common WESTERN CULTURE belief system.

Nietzsche is of the same understanding and points out that it is the DOUBLE ERROR of language and grammar that puts this FIGURE-AND-GROUND-AS-TWO abstraction into our minds; the FIRST ERROR is ‘NAMING’ which imputes LOCAL thing-in-itself BEING to a relational form (all forms are relational in the FIGURE-AND-GROUND-AS-ONE understanding of reality), while the SECOND ERROR is GRAMMAR that imputes the power of SOURCING actions and development to the NAMING-instantiated LOCAL thing-in-itself.

This DOUBLE ERROR plays a foundational role in our language and grammar based representations of reality.  That is; the Wave-field aka ‘the Tao’ is NONLOCAL and beyond the representational capability of language and grammar; or, in Lao Tzu’s words; ‘The Tao that can be told is not the true Tao’.
