You choose to see them as mutually exclusive. I do not.Please explain how they are casual references and point to profound consequences. I think you are equivocating here.
You might want to re-examine your premises and arguments on this.No, you need to take a logic course.
You certainly have a limited world view.You are using words as you see fit, not as they actually are defined.
I disagree and hence I shall boldly contradict your claim.You've violated the first rule of logic: the principle of non-contradiction.
You mean like something cannot be both a symbol and an emblem AT THE SAME TIME either?A thing cannot be a casual reference and profound at the same time.
I disagree. It's not an either-or thing.It's either one or the other, not both simultaneously.
I'm am truly saddened to hear you have invested your money and time in this direction.I have a graduate degree in philosophy,...
And you're teaching others to do the same? Did you not learn anything?...and I have teaching experience at both the graduate and undergraduate level.
And, the set up for ad hominem has occurred.I'm not easily duped.
There is it! So, is that a B+ or a B-?I'd give the initial article from this thread a B if it were submitted in my class because you do not use terms consistently,
LOL! So, you're saying it's good enough for government work?and frankly, your writing lacks a degree of focus and cohesion.
<snicker> Yep. I'm delighted you noticed. The blog post was for Brothers who already knew what I was alluding to. I hope you might know a few.You jump from point to point without fully establishing the connections between points,
Wow! You got all that from a blog post and follow up commentary that never used those words. You truly are something amazing....then you pronounce what you've written to be true and correct without fully demonstrating that it is so.
Let's see... syllogisms... hmmmm.... like...You make inferences, not syllogisms (you do know what a syllogism is, right?). Bro....
If a man has not done the EA Work,
and the EA Work requires circumscription of desires and subduing of passions,
and to ultimately bring Order to the Chaos of an untamed heart,
Then that man is likely to be an awesome example of what occurs when this work is not done.
Nope. Guess I don't.
I hope you come across less hostile when you are teaching our next generation.
