Many thanks, Kim!

It was about five years ago that I realized that metaphysics and the distinction between a descriptive/systematic metaphysics versus pure metaphysics was a key piece of the puzzle. This became such a central insight that it ended up being placed as the center point in the Garden of UTUA, which was a central project of mine from 2016-2019. For some reason that I am not sure I fully understand I was "called" to transform the system into a work of art.

One day, I am going to develop a tour of the Garden, because it has lots of things in it that are hard to see if you don't know the symbolism. For example, a number of folks miss that it is a direct reference to Genesis. If folks are interested in a TOUR OF THE GARDEN, please let me know and maybe we can set up a TOK Zoom and walk people through all the various meanings (i.e., why we are now in a place to eat off the Tree of Knowledge).

Anyway, attached is the slide deck and here is the main slide that references the Metaphysical Empirical Dialectic that represents the point I am making in my blog:
