"But rational argument accounts for NOTHING if your premises are false. So arguing details against LESS, MORE, OR "I can't remember that dream"...MEANS NOTHING."

As I recall, I began my interactions in this strand(s) by posting truism(s) from less_'s virtual unabridged guide to truisms... For which I was challenged??? not on the internal validity of said truisms but for who/what I may or may not represent (phantheistic monist) and eventually attacked personally with graduated severity. In the process, I've tried not to deviate from presenting simple truth and I don't believe I have. It is not possible to avoid religious contexts when interacting with a religionist perspective, however. I still feel I have held to my goal of sticking with simple truth. This religionist perspective was more apparent as related to the second strand tangental piece of discussion (Duncan's article) than the initial conversation about 'right' being bound to nature.

Which premises are you referring to as 'false?'

"My recommendation to you and DAK and LESS is a Diamond Willow Wizard Staff--and a KAYAK...and maybe a few books...

Excellent advice, thanks ... which also does nothing to further humanity btw. I was not under the misconception that furthering humanity was my task in the first place, however.
