I just recently saw Adam Driver in "Patterson." It was wonderful - small, personal, and open-hearted. Clearly much different than this one.

@"javi2541997" has been reporting to me on a regular basis. Nothing he has told me has been a surprise. A disappointment, perhaps, but not a surprise.

Thank you. Thank you very much.

Good point. I hadn't thought of that.

What a charming nickname. Also, just coincidentally, my grandmother's husband was my grandfather too.

Even your hip youth cultural references are 40 years out of date.

For some reason, Peg is also a nickname for Margaret.

E.g. peg leg. What nautical world did you grow up in?

I'm sorry for where this has gone. I intended it as a small, amusing offhand remark, forgetting about @"Hanover".

"Pegging" has come to mean something more than it did when you and I were kids.

As I see it, "moral" behavior does not have a goal. Our path is not to "behave as optimally as possible." It's to act in accordance with our authentic...

A good summary.

It's not particularly mystical. When you're in your music, aren't you fully here but also fully within yourself? When you collaborate, aren't you full...

If my memory of church doctrine is correct, Jesus and Mary became Christian by transubstantiation. True theology.

As I was reading this part of your text, it struck me it was similar to Aristotle's ideas about causation - the 3D printer is the efficient cause. Tel...

I'm sure that someone must have.

Yes. It has come as a surprise to me to recognize the significance.

I think you're right. As I said, it just had never struck me before.

No, no. The Q Dots box is both full and empty at the same time. Dots are one of those candies I've had to give up now that I no longer have dental ins...

When I was in the depths of my deepest anxiety/depression, my brother couldn't figure out why I didn't just "snap out of it."

Aw shucks. Yes, @"Hanover" was saying the same thing the other day.

Well, if I were a Republican member of the house, I would certainly vote for you. You or George Santos.

Sorry things aren't going well. Will you continue as a wine professional? Did your neighborhood get flooded?

Hey, @"Noble Dust", we haven't heard from you. Did you float away?

Yes. Well put.

Thank you for noticing. I normally drink Pabst Blue Ribbon with a rotgut chaser, but now I'm doing my part. At the liquor store they told me that I do...

As I noted, these discussions of metaphysics generally fall apart on the question of what metaphysics is and what it isn't. Let's leave it there.

You say "modeling," I say "ontology." I do agree with this.

You were never a Puritan. You are a Norwegian bachelor farmer.

From CPR He says similar things about time. Is it your position that space and time are illegitimate concepts?

The same way they do any other ideas - thinking, using intuition, or reasoning.

I'm not a Kant scholar, but I've read "Critique of Pure Reason." I don't remember it saying anything like "metaphysics is, in fact, indistinguishable ...
