Okie dokie Dtris, I was just describing what I saw as coherence as applied to human relating. It was not my intention to make it a personal matter about us or say that everyone should occupy the same reality, obviously.
Sorry if that came across as personal. I was also speaking in a general sense with my understanding of coherence in this context.
I understand now, and thanks for the clarification. Essentially, what I was hoping to get across was that by forming (what I consider to be) coherence with others, one can attain even more intellectual independence through the comparing and contrasting of opinions from others in ever more nuanced ways. But I realise that not all expressions of coherence would facilitate this (some don't honor disagreement). I also agree with you that coherence doesn't have to be pursued with others just for the sake of it, especially so if similar interests aren't shared (at least that is what I interpret you as saying). Those interested in the LOO have a running start due to the shared vocabulary, but of course everyone's interpretations of the material are different, as it should be.
