ROTFLMAO. Until hearing the call to action, it never occurred to me to
participate in such activities lol. How is talking about metaphysics
here interfering with these actions? So the "call for action" hype is
about doing these kind of things? Where does metaphysics lead
you off the path of "learning to tap dance" AKA
the road less travelled.
I was imagining something bigger or something
thats not already being done I guess.
So basically this "call for action" lecture
boils down to keep on doing what you do?
P.S. Was that offer to mow your lawn sincere or
are you a big tease?
I always felt I could make a difference
in the world if I could just have access
Kevin's lawn...no riding lawn mower either..
I want to do it the hard way to symbolically
represent the struggles of modern day
yard owners.
Kevin:
Glad you caught the humor that was intended. And yes, I think mowing my
lawn would do you wonders:D
My list contains self-improvement projects and public-improvement
projects. For self-improvement, you can simply keep doing what you're
doing if that is making you happy.
For public-improvement, the point is that agreement over metaphysics
isn't necessary for success. More to the point, insisting on a
metaphysical foundation on which to construct our public goals would
probably be disastrously counter-productive.
We don't need to agree on a defintion of God or Quality or even the
purpose of life in order to cooperate and find agreement for what's the
best way to run our national economy or how to fund public education.
Oh, and once you're done with the lawn, please do stop by the house for
some ice cold lemonade and recreational metaphysical debate:D
I can't tap dance,
Kevin
