My Critics

My critics, who are legion, contend that I am a reductionist.  The "and", the "or" and matter cannot adequately describe the richness or complexity of reality.  Oh, so the full spectrum of colors cannot be derived from different combinations of the three primary colors?  And is the full spectrum of colors any less rich or capable of dazzlingly complex combinations of colors because it is thus reduce-able?  Is a bouquet of flowers any less beautiful because there are three primary colors?  Even if we were to take the purely scientific view that all "stuff" is in fact composed of different combinations of the elements in the periodic table, it is clear that there are hundreds and thousands of molecular combinations of these elements, some of them organic.  Infinite diversity and complexity can be derived from a finite, and incredibly small number of elements. Thus my critics are clearly incorrect.
