But peter.  I actually did an experiment.  So, your criticism has to shift from 
calling me an air head to calling my experiment dumb … and,, presumably, having 
reasons why it’s dumb.

Subject: [FRIAM] A Happy Thought (experiment)

 

I was amazed to learn that gedanken experiments involve so much depth.  I had 
thought thought experiments were just simple tests that it would be VERY nice 
to do, but for various reasons could not be executed.  Like having all gedanken 
foolosofers leap from high buildings (under humane and controlled conditions) 
and their trajectories measured to determine whether they obey the laws of 
gravity and Newton.
