I feel like me asking you to write about the allegory in the cave is like asking a musician to play freebird ya know?

an obscure German electronic act calling themselves Sweeps remixed Darondo's immortal Didn't I back in the mid-aughts, under the title 'Don't Let it Stress'. it's worth a spin...

Great suggestion - am listening to it as I type this while waiting in the car during football practice. You were the one who turned me onto Darondo in the first place - I think on a mixed CD you named Dos Palobos or some such thing.

Thanks Bryan. Love a little funk. Yes, Flannery O’Connor stated something similarly memorable to Musashi: truth does not change according to our ability to stomach it. Re Transub - interesting this Platonic angle. Might be argued that the doctrine actually owes more to Aristotle’s distinction of form/substance. Trent’s chosen vocab is along the lines of: no change in the outward form but rather the inward substance. Hence, transubstantiation over transformation. I mean, it’s dancing on pinheads here but that’s metaphysics for ya.

True, that - Aristotle's distinction is certainly the language adopted by the Church. But I like to think he couldn't escape the influence of his old teacher! Glad you liked the funk. Sorry for the slow reply, but time's quite tight these days!
