What evidence do you have that makes you so certain?

Only things have value- the For-itself business that Pye was talking about recently. The infinite has no such values, and as such is not really worth knowing.

It is only because the QRS gain from guruism that they love truth. Just like an emotionally delusional person, they mostly gain from creating opposition and then floating egotistically above this opposition - you can see it in their every word, their self-appraisal as brilliant lights of humanity. You are certainly no different, nor am I, I guess.

It's not that hard to float above humanity when they speak unadulterated pap like you're doing here. I mean, I don't even have to get out of my chair to be above it. It doesn't present enough of a challenge to even require egotism.

Jamesh,

I agree 100%. Luckily, these guys don't have followers.

Dan;

I laughed (again), but then I realized: youâ€™re serious.
Now I feel sad for you. Perhaps your friends will help.

What? What's there to be sad about? I don't get it.

I don't get it.

That, my friend, is the human condition.
My suggestion to you is contemplate your experience of "not getting it".

Best wishes.

What is a "nong"? Is that common Australian slang?

Yes, it means a stupid person. I have no idea if my spelling was correct.
