I lied, slightly. But rather than go for the cop-out ("none of the above"), I went for the one that I think was closest ("I was sent a link by a friend."). What actually happened was someone whose conversation I enjoy told me about it, it sounded good to me, and so I googled it and found it.

:read: I was a member of TAF for a while. I was always aware of Rationalia.. like a splinter in the back of my mind.. Heh, no seriously. I knew of rationalia, but preferred serious discussion at RD.net. When it broke up I went to ratskep and here. I posted a lot more at ratskep until I got fed up with the place. Now I post here more.

Nothing mysterious: just "There you are and that's the way it is." Do you remember the Austrian emperor in "Amadeus": "Well, there it is." Kinda like that.

So, as we say in Ecosse des Doubles-Entendres, your Erse is good, is it?

Equivalent of A bhfuil in Irish, from the translation.

The world is a thing of utter inordinate complexity and richness and strangeness that is absolutely awesome. I mean the idea that such complexity can arise not only out of such simplicity, but probably absolutely out of nothing, is the most fabulous extraordinary idea. And once you get some kind of inkling of how that might have happened, it's just wonderful. And . . . the opportunity to spend 70 or 80 years of your life in such a universe is time well spent as far as I am concerned.
