Brass balls. Balls of steel. It’s all figurative. At least in this production.

Do you all nazis read anything other than Dawkins?
I mean for an anti-objectivist, you sure hold his writings to be some objective-ass truth.
Sends shivers down pzr’s spine.
Error! Error! Does not compute!
I’m sorry, but that was not one of the options.

Okay, if you were not scripting the production, how might that not fit into it?

Well, you know, to be fair, in typical objectivist fashion.
That’s always a problem for objectivists, when a human source for their universal truths is identified.

Obviously, that computes even less! After all, James Bond was basically a cartoon character. And Pussy Galore? Come on, the name itself!
No, in the meta-theater, objectivism is explored more by real life characters…like Turd and iambiguous.
In fact, a new production is already quite possibly in the works: ilovephilosophy.com/viewtop … 1&t=196131
Audition now, my friend, before the main parts are cast.
OK, so where did you get the idea of the gene / meme paradigm?
You dirty nazi?

Seriously though, I explained that on another thread:
I still recall the very first experience I had as a child with my “identity” as more than just me thinking this or doing that. I was at my Aunt Betty and Uncle Mike’s house in Miners Mills, Pennsylvania. My family moved to Baltimore when I was 7, but every summer I would go back and spend a couple of months at my Grandmother’s house. That day I had I had done something I was being reprimanded for but I refused to go into details as to why I had done it. That’s when my Aunt Mary said something to the effect, “it’s no use, he is just like his father”.
And then for the first time, and for reasons I did not understand, I began to really think about that. “Philosophically”, as it were. I began to wonder how the boy I had become was connected to my parents and my family and how they had raised me and how in some ways I had come to be like them.
What if I had been raised by different parents in very different circumstances? Would I have done what I did that day? Would I have reacted to others as I did?
But then of course I slipped back into just being a kid again.
A kid. Not to be mistaken for a Kid.
Pedro I Rengel:OK, so where did you get the idea of the gene / meme paradigm?

I know. You got that from Dawkins.
I wonder how Dawkins would feel if he knew he was a hero of the nazi underworld?

Actually, Dawkins wasn’t around back then in Miners Mills. Nor, for that matter, was James Bond. And the productions were of a whole different kind.
Back then, they revolved around the manner in which kids were all the more indoctrinated to view the world around them as others insisted it was. The new productions deconstruct that. They suggest a paradigm that folks like you are particularly averse to.
But: how about phoneutria? How averse to the new productions is she?
On the other hand, I don’t have Becky around anymore to tell me.

Yeah but you weren’t going on about genes and memes either. Because Dawkins came up with that.

As per usual, you miss the point entirely.
That part as an extra if you grew a pair? Forget it. I’m giving it to one of the Stooges now. Larry I suspect.
You know, when he grows a pair.
These are the lengths you are willing to go to not to acknowledge where your objectivist theory comes from?
It comes from Dawkins, lad.
I know how sensitive you all are (objectivists) at having it pointed out to you that your theories about reality are only one among many and come from a person.
You dirty nazi.

I go to the length the role calls for. Up to but not including directing, acting or scripting the scene.
Or, here, the post.
[size=50]Also, if you are going to play the straight man in our routine, I’ll need better lines to bounce off of.[/size]
So? You didn’t get it from Dawkins?
It is simply an objective truth?
You know, objectively true for everybody, as it were?
Come on iam. Let’s bring this sucker down from the skyhooks.
