[Advaita-l] [advaitin] Does the Vivarana argument lead to an existent avidya? SSSS's comment

Namaste Michael ji.

These are strong arguments based on our stipulated textual criteria.

I agree that ignoring them does not refute them. But there is an
alternative method to get the response since I am not interested in
responding to cut and paste of AI response, even if you take ownership of
that.

The alternative method is this - you ask AI to present a refutation of your
response as per VivaraNa. You may get enough material to counter question
that. And then, if you like, you can ask for a refutation of that as per
SSSS ji. And thereafter, you can ask for refutation as per VivaraNa. This
can go on *ad infinitum*.

It is disrespectful to cut and paste an AI response to a human response
which has been provided out of love, respect and concern.
