“Anyways, I still hold that you can only define reductionism up to point after which you are just wasting time.”
I agree that we might be wasting time. But what do you mean “up to a point”?
The flaw isn’t in the idea, but rather in the way we express it. It appears like we’re looking for the right analogy. I don’t know if that’s going to work. But I guess I could try anyway.
I think it might be more like a computer. We don’t function at a “machine code” or even an “assembly language” level; rather, it’s more like we’re a scripting language on the operating system.

Of course, that’s imperfect, too.
