>From: pmsc13sg@UMASSD.EDU (Stephen Grossman)
> SG Zeleny has perfected the argumentum ad loudmouth.
Why, yes, he has, actually! I was going to commend him for that myself,
but he has been too modest to accept my commendations in the past.
I wonder if Grossman actually knows what "ad" means, or if he
only *mistakenly* called himself a loudmouth?
>I sympathize
>with the burden of studying under Nozick but you should really make some sort
>effort at evidence.
I suspect Zeleny will prefer not to answer, but I would personally
be quite amazed if he has in fact studied under Nozick. It would
rock my worldview.
> No, I think that your metaphysical confusion exists as much as Ayn
>Rand's wisdom.
Again, I must concur with Grossman's assessment.
>To be rather academic let us note the rather large description
>of non-noumnal items in _The Critique of Pure Wisdom_.
Oh, let's not. I had enough trouble with the other three Critiques.
>mathematician Hardy's claim that math is useless. After my ongoing study of
>the Objectivist philosophy of math is complete I shall inform the hoi polloi.
We polloi are holding our breath.
("The hoi polloi" is redundant.)
