Think I posted these Tallis articles long ago, not sure though:
What Neuroscience Cannot Tell Us About Ourselves
How Can I Possibly Be Free? - Why the neuroscientific case against free will is wrong
Good points, I do think a break from TSA could potentially have net-positive results (I can't see it making the series worse-off, anyway) and I personally would take a longer gap between whatever the first book of TSA: The Next Generation is, though I have a feeling we may be somewhat in the minority there.
. I picture it as a one off like Neuropath. A PKD style fast paced big ideas novel, heavy on action and cyberpunk trashy.
+1 - Semantica, for sure. Or a duology or something.
But SF deserves a full-on Bakker/TSA epic.
I want this so bad but I'm afraid he's just going to keep writing TSA material.
Which is itself not a bad thing (I feel like a prequel series after TNG is almost inevitable) but...a legit Bakker epic SF would be so. fucking. good.

You wouldn't say, for example, "You can look at the painting as an accumulation of paint, or you can not." You would say, "You can view that painting as an mere accumulation of paint and you can view that painting as a landscape."Viewing it as a landscape does not change the fact that it's an accumulation of paint, with all the implications of being an accumulation of paint.
