BTW, where are there differences in the attitudes concerning matter
(literally) in Zen and Westie science?

You forget that there are Westie scientists who after trying to reduce
their senses to just five, next try to ignore those, too.
The perfect Westie scientist ignores am elephant standing on his foot
till there is proof beyond all doubt of experiments that can be
repeated in other places, that there is really am elephant standing on
his foot.
Most other people might try to straight get the elefant to leave the
foot.
If you have one on your foot, and tell a Westie scientist about that,
he might ask if his peers mentioned that you have one there, and if
not you might as well say that you saw a yellow one with an umbrella
flying by the other day hallucinating on some drug, and the reaction
might not be that different.
>multiple sclerosis.
Should you ever meet one or two into LSD and into travelling, where MS
is not advanced far yet, and I am in a more morbid mood at that time,
there'd be an experiment that I have been thinking about for a while.
(If not here, some in the "LSD-quarter" in Berlin might know more
about where I am smurfing around at the time.)
>>Take gravity away and there would be no life on Earth.
How do you want to have an Earth without gravity?
Does C have gravity "?"

You remind me of two arguing where one can not prove that the other is
right or wrong, and where I'd not exclude that some might be right and
some wrong, though maybe also to do with reasons both overlook.
