Heh, heh, I had to expect from the peanut gallery of the frustrated. (yes, dmb, get laid sometime).
So dmb, let me see if I have this right. You say that my issue with psychology is psychological. You also claim that philosophy is psychological. Hmmmm... I am beginning to get this. And you say that my issue with psychology is personal, and also that philosophy is personal. Good... it is beginning to fit. And you state that I had a personal encounter with psychology which you then state is an accounting of the psyche. And that such accounting produces philosophy. Well, yes... I do see what you are saying, by Jove! But, dmb, may I ask what is your point? You have simply just described me as a philosopher. Or, are you trying to make a different point about both me and philosophers? I have no need to defend insanity, I AM insane and I love it! Pity goes out to ye sleeping SOMists, hope you find what you are looking for, it ain't too far away. HAHAHAHAHA!!! Time for another rump-biting session! I call it the Willy James' Butt Crack Snack with crusty Deweydrops served au-pragmatal. YEEAGH-HAA! TASTY!
