From: John Galt	of 39621

>>No, I don't get it. I can't make head or tail.<< It's in the HEAD!! THE HEAD!!!!!!! >>I don't find the spider web analogy quite appropriate. I know the creations of my mind, as the spider knows its web, but not my mind.<< It goes to the epistomological question "How do we know we know what we know." John Galt's position here is simply this. The question is meaningless and bankrupts the minds of all who choose to pursue. Know that by your own experience of your own mind - creating knowledge is its' own beginning. The spider does not question how is it that it came to spin a web. If it did, it would most certainly get stuck in its' own web and starve. Nor does one's mind question how is it his mind came to spin its' own web of knowledge. The experience of knowledge is its' own beginning...and it begins with one's self...not God, you silly boy. >>I'm sorry, but this seems kind of obtuse to me.<< That is only because your mind is so narrow.
