Welcome!!! We are really happy to have you! Intuitionism RAWKS!
I reserve the right to employ the Idiot’s Veto for Mike’s posts.
Welcome, Michael. It’s great to have you on board.
Thanks, all. I joined so I could call my self a PEA-brained MFer. (Becoming an MFer is going to be the hard part.)
You can just pretend to be an MFer. I mean, who could object?
Good to have you on the team!
Yes, welcome aboard.
Michael also welcomes Michael. (First two Davids, now this!) Michael, since your book was so lavishly recommended here before, any chance you could make available to those of you in the academic hinterlands a typescript or portions thereof?
Well, I posted the chapter on moral knowledge at http://home.sprynet.com/~owl1/book2.htm. 🙂
Welcome my Boulder brother! We’re a little closer to The Forms here at 5,500 feet, and, obviously, Mike’s had some practice intuiting them from such great heights. I think the blog will profit.
I have entered this post office quite by accident and offer some thoughts on the ethics of eating meat. I have myself attempted vegetarianism for about three months and found no feelings of deprivation, rather a kind of pride at maintaining the principle and acting upon it. I then began to experience pains in the limb muscles and quit with many misgivings. Has anyone ever gone this route and if so what are your feelings regarding this ?
