Because the non point contained every point in the protouniverse and can`t therefore be a point in the universe?

Sorry to bear the bad news bud but its worse than that your concept of innate ideas over on the "Knowledge" thread reads pretty similarly to Descartes....
Nice to see you and John playing nice with each other BTW, isn`t it far more productive...
quote:Originally posted by forgiven: oh well, mack... i guess i'll sit back and await your original thoughts... and yes, john and i seem to have gotten off on the wrong foot... this is more productive, for both i hope
Don`t hold your breath I readily acknowledge that most of what I`m putting forward against innate ideas is a(n) (inferior? probably) reworking of Locke....
