Re: Demon stories
without experience we can not tell the difference between vanity on purpose (say in art) and blind chance. In otherwords blind chance can be the only reality of the experience if vanity of vanities are assumed. Only the rich say things like that or those who are fly fishing, or really deceptive painters etc. LOL.
Krull can take his lumps.

Re: Deceptive painters?
It can be found in Kant's analysis of beauty,asthetics, taste and teleology. I didnt bring that text to the coffe shop this evening so I'll have to give you the reference later.
I included the painter only because the the natural purpose of bioreproduction is NOT something I have ever seen a painter capture, though we try to talk about this here all the time. I had just noticed this "fact" in Kant this afternoon and it gave me pause to wonder if Lysenko might not have read this passage also when it comes to grafting trees. Dobshanky might have read it too. Any way the passage really showed that modern evolutionists somehow get blind chance as reality IF the deny the transcendental use of vanity. That seems to be the mistake in concluding to mental illness when (before) the practical reason had ALREADY informed the reason purely but because of a posteriori vanity than no one had yet found a chance mechanism to reach as such ,the understanding of an intelligent nouemon. None of this complex thought is necessary for a painter to systematically put colors in places say opposite to the physiological relation of colors (purpleyellow) in such a way to cause the viewer to mis"see" the canvas.

Re: Brrrrrr
its an illusion of the color blue this time but could be Maxwell demon in its falsity. At worst it is a delusion. I know that because somehow the federal govt doesnt know this and has me up for recertificaion in a category that is unlikely to recover.
quote:
I do not personally know anyone who has physically seen demons
in the thread head.
The experience of calling someone mentally ill has nothing to do with demons or angels as far as I know except for a hedge on Maxwell. It has to do with the failure of reason to incorporate a duty fullfilled already. I wont go anyfurther off topic. I just didnt want KURL OK? to take the better off what doesnt exist.
