OTOH, since I'm an old navy guy, that might be impossible. --Vic An old navy guy? Sure you are, Vic. I bet Nathan Branden is your best friend. Wilbur Hubbard Was Nathaniel Branden in the Navy? No. He was a Canadian psychologist who along with Ayn Rand defined Objectivism - basically the precursor of Libertarianism. Was a member of a group called "The Collective" which had some interesting members including Alan Greenspan. Which explains the gooble de gook Greenspan used during his Congressional testimony. Want to give yourself a headache? Parse the following: "The issue of concepts (known as "the problem of universals") is philosophy's central issue. Since man's knowledge is gained and held in conceptual form, the validity of man's knowledge depends upon the validity of concepts. But concepts are abstractions or universals, and everything that man perceives is particular, concrete. What is the relationship between abstractions and concretes? To what precisely do concepts refer in reality? Do they refer to something real, something that exist - or are they merely inventions of man's mind, arbitrary constructs or loose approximations that can not claim to represent knowledge?" I'll wait. :) Both. -- ***** Hope your day is better than decent! ***** John H |
