If I may stop this game of Chinese whispers?

Paul: According to Paul, mind is not an organ that collects belief systems.
Bo replied:
--- How Paul sees mind and its "innards" has little to do with the
--- MOQ that doesn't contain any mind.
Paul: Paul does not see mind as having innards.
Bo: The static intellectual level
--- however is the Subject/Object divide and has spawned a welter
--- of other dualisms including the mind/matter one. Thus "mind"
--- appears as the subjective half of intellect. This original insight of
--- Phaedrus of ZMM is the SOL interpretation.
Paul: Bo, forgive me if I don't waste my electricity on this.
Regards
Paul
