John Galt on A is A I'd like to add that the philosphical axiom of A is A is not a 'logical premise' but rather the driving force that defines reality for all life forms. In man, it is represented as the most fundamental of human concepts that defines reality for him by his own mind. Therefore, 'A is A' evaluates logic and defines its' limitations as it does with all human invention. It should not be confused with logic as logic cannot evaluate what is more fundamental nor can the premise be held by faith which is contraindictive in that faith holds to those things hoped for and/or unseen. The premise is simply a component of the human mind and common to all. To deny it is to deny the nose on one's own face. Know then that the only alternative to 'A is A' is to adapt the opposing premise that simply states 'A is not A'. To adapt this premise is to succumb to denial, to admit stupidity, and to live a life as a lie. Those who adapt this premise, in every case, have not yet grasped the concept of 'A is A'. They are, on the whole, unlearned. John Galt

Personal Message to Alex from John Galt Q1) Alex requires peer-review on an experiment that addresses the "nature of A" A1) Alex, you Jerk-for-Brains. What the hell is the "nature of A????" Of course, you could be mean metaphysical reality. The answer then become all valid scientific journals. Q2) Isn't A is A a tight little loop. A2) It's a no tighter little loop than Mother Galt's own pu**y. Q3) Can we reduce "A" to practice? A3) Yes. Employ the symbol in the expression "A is A". Q4) Doesn't "A is A" mean "the real and the phenomenal are the same?" A4) In this sense only - "A is A" can mean ALEX IS A PHENOMENAL JERK! Q5) Isn't pure observation a hollow shell? A5) Only if you are looking into a "hollow shell". John Galt
