I didn't say that being logically consistent is sufficient to describe reality. I only said that only logically consistent statements describe reality...
Would you say that reality is true or would you say that only true statements describe reality? If the latter, then perhaps it's more correct to say t...
You're trying to argue that there's an external world, and yet one of your premises amounts to "there is an external world". That's question-begging. ...

@"TimeLine", found a couple more. Here's me in Cambodia. /uploads/files/7m/s6v3bcsa9mrb8p81.png And here's the one that I think @"Sapientia" remembers...
