Re: Who am I?
Are you saying that 'what I am' isn't based on malleable factors? I'm not sure I agree with that.
Re: Who am I?
You'd be right to disagree as long as 'reality' was essentially divisible and comprised of more than one thing, though I'm not sure that even [many] physicalists believe that any more. But if reality (physical or other) is essentially singular and indivisible, then you'd be wrong to disagree.Pogue wrote:Are you saying that 'what I am' isn't based on malleable factors?

How does dismembering yourself like that serve to refute me? Am I supposed to feel sorry for you and change my mind before the other half gets it?

The world is two things, what is within and what is without.

What? In and out are subjective references, not things. Please elaborate.Pogue wrote:The world is two things, what is within and what is without.

No, not my magnificent member, but a culinary delight when suitably cooked.
Things are divisible (with limits in the sub-atomic realm)

Re: Who am I?
Thank fuck for that. I had images of you handing your wife your divided penis and saying something like "I did this to thwart jamest. If you love me, you'll understand." I mean, seriously, if it means I have to 'publicly' give-up idealism so you don't have to chop-up your penis and blame me for it in front of your missus then, yes, let's try to figure this out.JimC wrote:jamest wrote:How does dismembering yourself like that serve to refute me?

On the other hand, if your missus likes horseradish sauce and knows where to find it, I might be tempted to retract everything. Except any bits where I stated that kangeroos are odd and [so also] Australians are odd. I mean, c'mon, even the author of Harry Potter couldn't have dreamt of kangaroos.
The bottom-line is that you're odd because of your proximity to many kangaroos, so we'll forgive your transgressions to a point. However, if I were Henry VIII you'd probably be fucked.
