@jonathanbfine For sure! Remember that time Leibniz got an own goal?

@cmclymer I remember, in the old days, we were taught shame as early as grammar school. I can still feel shame with even the slightest prompt. It's a shame the essentials are no longer taught. So here we are.

@mfjlewis Do you think they realize that there are remedies for penal dysfunction?

[Michael Larson @mlarsonkeywest]

@RepJackKimble Is she one of your constituents, our are you freelancing now?

[Michael Larson @mlarsonkeywest]

@DaultRadio Thank goodness for things

@RepJackKimble I would be careful about the Veto sir. Veto is the Godfather's first name. He will not be pleased.

[Michael Larson @mlarsonkeywest]

@mary_pezzulo I am so proud of Rep Kimble. He is not ashamed of what he doesn't know, he humbly asks questions, and he continues to learn on the job. I wish they were all like that

@SuperheroFreak One of my favorite sci fi writers.

@jonathanbfine Will there be many footnotes?

@HendroM Cardinals talking at the Vatican coffee machine, what a wonderful image! I hope it was invented by the Capuchin friars

[Michael Larson @mlarsonkeywest]

@mfjlewis Me too. We're doomed!

[Michael Larson @mlarsonkeywest]

@JoshuaLWatson only philosophers are able to grasp the eternal and unchangeable. How does Plato show us, in this universe, anything eternal or unchangeable? His philosophy requires the invention of some other dimension that houses the eternal and unchangeable. It's a stretch

[Michael Larson @mlarsonkeywest]

@JoshuaLWatson I think we must both admit that, according to Plato, we are not qualified to be philosophers. Amateur musicians are explicitly excluded as "professors of the minor arts". So let's not kid ourselves.

[Michael Larson @mlarsonkeywest]

@JoshuaLWatson Gotta go for now. I'll think about forms for a while. They live in their own universe, right?

[Michael Larson @mlarsonkeywest]

@JoshuaLWatson I'm saying that Euclid stick a pin in a board, tied a string to it and traced a circle. Now he can think a thought about the circle. The circle is an invention and is perceived by the senses and can be thought about. So the circle that is in Euclid's mind is now a "form"?

[Michael Larson @mlarsonkeywest]

@JoshuaLWatson Isn't this similar to people talking about "the laws of nature" as if the laws existed first? The laws of nature are things we have noticed about the world around us

[Michael Larson @mlarsonkeywest]

@JoshuaLWatson Things have properties because we look at them and say that they have properties. If not for thinking, things would be just fine without properties.
