There are two different, yet equally fruitless ways of conceiving why Roger Clough bothers to post garbage all over what used to be a very bright and interesting list.
One, he is old and retired, so he has little else to fill his days. The other reason is that he thinks his ideas have some kind of merit, and he self-deceptively thinks they smack of some brilliance that is opaque to others. According to Roger, everything that was ever thought or will be thought that had any merit was thunk up by Leibniz, a german fancy boy from the 1500s who had a major hard-on for god-centric explanations of the universe. The fact that Roger has a major hard-on for fancy boys from the 1500s and has little of any original thinking to bring the the table himself should indicate to you the staleness of his thinking. Roger frequently makes vague pronouncements about 'what Leibniz thought,' punctuated by casual anti-semitism and political bear baiting. Rarely, though, is any of this backed up by sustained argument or evidence. It is as though you are witnessing a man in a fugue state, unaware that he makes no sense but believing strongly that he has the secret keys to the palace of universal knowledge. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
