2. EdgeVideo: PAUL BLOOM (Owen Densmore)

[Nick Thompson]

Owen,

In Re Paul Bloom, can our friendship tolerate a rant concerning Paul Bloom?

!@#$%^&*()(*&^%$#@!@#$%^&^%$%&*(

There, I said it.  

Now, on a more reasoned note.  

Consider the following argument:

Lightning is either

        Thor's anger visited upon the earth

        or

        Just an electrical discharge.

We know that lightning is more than just an electrical discharge.

        Therefore it must be Thor's anger visited upon the earth.

compare that with

        The soul is either

         an ephemeral, unmeasurable, insubstantial substance that however guides
our material being

        or

        just a chunk of gunk somewhere North of the Optic Chiasm

        We know that the soul is not just a chunk of gunk somewhere North of the
Optic Chiasm

        THEREFORE, it must be an ephemeral, unmeasurable, insubstantial substance
that however guides our material being

        Paul Bloom!!!!  <mutter, mutter, snarl, snarl>

       
Is WEDSTECH happening to day?

Nick
