But that argument, and its relatives, can be used to 'refute' any argument about anything. So it doesn't count. I mean that is just the argument that we can't know anything about anything because the nature of reality might be that a Descartian demon is reprogramming our memory every second. That is just silly. In the real world nobody refuted the argument. -- William T Goodall Mail : [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web : http://www.wtgab.demon.co.uk Blog : http://radio.weblogs.com/0111221/ "Computers in the future may weigh no more than 1.5 tons." - Popular Mechanics, forecasting the relentless march of science, 1949 _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
