That's OK with me. Religion is bullshit,
We have discuss this. You confuse religion with clericalism. By saying
gross statement like "religion is bullshit" you are favoring the
clericalists and literalists.
I am very glad with all your posts on religion, as they confirm my
theory according to which (strong) atheists are (strong) Christians in
disguise. Same faith in the creation, same definition of the creator,
same perpetual use of authoritative arguments, same impulse to forbid
the scientific method on the deep questions.
so pseudo-bullshit is better than pure, triple distilled, extra
virgin, investment grade bullshit.

That depends on how you define "define". And after that I'd like to
know the definition of "define "define" "; and after that [...]
I was just asking what do you mean by "grand concept", with the goal
of making sense of what you were saying. You elude the point.
If you are interested in a theory of "definition", by some good
introductory book in logic, as this is has been well studied.
BTW, I am still waiting your comment on my last rebuttal of your
predicting algorithm in self-duplication. You seem to praise reason,
so why do you act so much irrationally on that subject. Your attitude
is perhaps impulsed by the fact that you seem to believe that physics
does solve the mind-body problem, which is exactly what UDA shows it
does not.
