); But [eating the moon] is logically possible and therefore can be used in an argument.


Hmmm. Today I'm feeling a little more grounded than usual maybe, Solon. Eating the moon can be said, but that doesn't make it very useful in a conceptual framework (I suppose accretion of lunar mass is greater than my ability to eat). And what of the moon-shat? It would have to be put into orbit and therefore would have to become excreted at lunar escape velocity. Therefore, this is not YOU eating the moon but a YOU with a different anus and colon (making it not you).

Going back to my response to Win_Smith, you are thrashing about in the net of reality but it doesn't hold you fast, just binds you. Sure, there a layers beyond the netting and indeed, some secret passages. However, not ALL interlocked metal rings are puzzles, even though some are. However, all linked objects can be disentangled with a saw and oxy-acetylene torch but not without changing their form.

Therein is the true nature of your argument. We are time dwelling creatures in our physical person because of the net in which we are trapped, but not in our spiritual selves (that is trapped, perhaps, in a different net). Seems pretty consistent with what I've always said (to me, anyway).
