Hi TraineeHuman, I think you'll find that I am much more open-minded to the possibilities of other ontologies than you believe me to be. Yes, I am interested in ways of finding how different viewpoints fit together, but I don't believe that one belief system has to be pursued at the expense of disproving all others. The issue of contextuality is very important - each of us has our grid of awareness, so to speak, which gives us each a unique point of view, but I believe that ultimately we are all connected together in ways that go far beyond the scientific materialism viewpoint of the twentieth century.
Speaking of contextuality, I presume you're familiar with Korzybski and general semantics? I've written about his ideas a few times:

and in this entry, which seems to have struck some sort of chord because it is currently my most popularly-viewed blog entry of all time by a substantial margin.

This second entry also relates to the question I asked earlier, about the idea that we all seem to be accelerating towards some kind of global paradigm shift right now.
Best wishes,
Rob
