Some people have too much time on their hands. This person needs a hobby, and or a life.

From what I've seen, he's got a great deal of life. People base the most important decisions of their lives upon what we accede to and how we come to believe what we believe. Others attack such bases of understanding. Dallas Willard has shown here how it is absurd to claim that man's thoughts are some language-based phenomenon developed only through some kind of naturalistic process. That is a part of the wool that "naturalist" or "objectivist" (God obviating) people have been pulling over some people's eyes for centuries now.

Isn't it refreshing when the truth stares you in the face and it is seen as the simple truth and one can agree with it?

Also, isn't it refreshing to understand that there is more to our lives than the only kinds of things we can master for ourselves?

What you don't know about Objectivism fills volumes that you have not -- and probably will not -- read; volumes that philosophically outclass even Aristotle in epistemology, metaphysics, ethics and esthetics.

This thread, for instance, is about concepts -- a matter of epistemolgy; an absolutely eye (and mind) opening subject within the Ayn Rand book titled "Introduction to Objectivist Epistemology."

Believe it or not, I've presented you with a pearl.

"Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested." Francis Bacon, "Of Studies"
