Ben created this thread to discuss his philosophy after someone criticized it. I just stopped by here quickly yesterday to say that one of the most significant philosophers ever to live reached the same conclusions as Ben (not that I agree with either Ben or Kant -- just to say that Ben's not all wet here). Not sure why you stopped by, John, except to try to harass me about something unrelated.
