I would consider being called a Kantian an insult as well.  But only if =
I WERE a Kantian.  I'm not trying to insult you btw.  Of course life is =
full of contradictions.  Such as the ones you've raised.  It doesn't =
mean they can be accepted as truth.  You're stating something that's =
obvious and as arbitrary as anything you've cited from my letters.  It's =
good that you read Hawking.  Honestly, Mr. Drossmann, I wish that you =
read more.  You'd seem a bit more intelligent!  It's also good that you =
understand experience is overrated.  I must have misunderstood you.  The =
most efficient means of knowledge is principle as you would have read.  =
Your ethics professor calls you a subjectivist.  Kantian is pretty well =
equal to subjectivist (*giggle*).  Amoralist?  No, you're an immoralist. =
 Your ethics professor (and do I smell pride again?) is wrong.  Or =
perhaps it's a semantics issue (and I tend to think it's a semantics =
issue as my experience would have me believe he knows the difference!
).  You did establish yourself as a moderate in that you think "some =
things are relative"...whatever the hell that means.  Ahh, to prove =
animals work on instinct.  I'm not a biologist.  You'll have to ask =
Jeeves to prove it.  You say animals can be conditioned.  I don't know =
what you mean by conditioned...please clarify and I will carefully =
adjust your view.  I'm not out to sound "convincing" as you are.  I'm =
out to give you truth, Mr. Drossmann (and, irrelevantly, what are you =
going to do when they take out that letter in your name? *giggle*).  In =
those cases that "truth" is relative, you're confusing truth with =
opinion.  In other words, fact is not opinion.  Opinion is a level of =
understanding the truth.  You say pride is a weakness.  Well, thank you =
again, you've just quoted Kant.  Pride is a VIRTUE.  You may be talking =
about conceitedness.  I'm talking about pride.  The difference is that =
pride is proven and factually based.  I should be proud I got an A in my =
philosophy c!
lass.  I should be conceited of my good looks.  Do you understand now?  =
Pride is a virtue, conceitedness is a weakness (or whatever).  Reason =
implies irrelative truth.  There, again, the contradiction.  Sorry if I =
haven't paragraphed, I read your arguements as I typed. =20

Again, I'm not arguing.  I feel that productive work is also a virtue =
thus my willingness to explain to you my arguements.  I'm on your side =
here buddy! =20
