How to break off this circuit of abstraction?
The question is, how to break off the perception that every logical thought process produces an abstraction. Abstraction is like taking a straight line and describing it as warped. The description of the straight line as being warped is abstraction. Finding a small truth in nature is extraction. Thinking apart from the status quo is distraction. Changing your mind is retraction. I don't think that (m1•m2)/d² is abstraction. Do you, Socratus?
