I'd read up on object relational theory, generalize it to include all objects within
our minds as real things that define their selves in relation to things within and
without our minds.

Oh, wait a second, that *IS* the argument i had with a shrink friend. She seems to have
accepted it ;-)

When we were in college we ALWAYS debated the professors in class. Only a couple objected and some even thanked us for spicing up their classes.

Oh, and read some R. D. Liang and contrast him as being in touch with human reality as
opposed to Karl Jaspers who is cold when it comes to observing difficult human
realities.

Those are my arguments ;-)
