PART Seventeen OF 15 PRINCIPIA ENTROPIUS ____________________________________ Gods Will to Unmask Cosmic Moronism ______________________________________ Morons are Tricky, You can spot him right away, but the Moron reasons almost the way you do;The Gap is almost infintismal. A moron is a master of a paralogism. For an editor, its bad news. It can take him an eternity to identify a moron, plenty of morons books are published, because they are convincing at first glance. An editor is not required to weed out the morons, if the Academy of Science doesn't, why should he? Philosophers, don't either. Saint Anselm's ontological Argument is moronic, for example." God must exist because I can conceive of him as a being perfect in all ways, including existance". The saint confuses existance in thought, with existance in reality. Gaunilon's refutation is moronic, too. " I can think of an Island in the sea even if the Island doesn't exist". He confuses thinking of the Possible with the thinking of the neccesary. --Also known as The "Forbess's Car argument" A duel between Morons. And God loves every minute of it. He chooses to be unthinkable only to prove that Anselm and Gaunilon were morons. What a sublime purpouse for creation, or rather the act by wich god willed himself to be: To unmask Cosmic moronism. The Law of Syllogisms states that: universal conclusions cannot be drawn from Two Paticulars. The Legend of Saint Paul, Epistle to Titus _____________________________ Epimedes the Cretin says all Cretans are Liars. It must be true, because he is a Cretan himself, and knows his countrymen well. Fnord. On the other hand, Those who call Epimedes a liar have to think all Cretans aren't, but Cretans don't trust other Cretans, Therefore no Cretan Calls Epimedes a liar. Is this an Example of Moronic Thinking>? Even Morons can win a nobel Peace Prize. Moronism Is Wisdom! The Whole history of Logic consists of our attempts to define an acceptable notion of Moronism. A Task too immense. Every Great thinker, is someone else's Moron. What is moronism to one, is inchoherant to another! ------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------- By: EchoList Announcer To: All Re: Tag: STARGOAT was Added.

As most intelligent life forms in the galaxy know, Star Goat is a mental construct of Douglass Adams' wholly remarkable four- part trilogy. (For the rest of you, the secret is, "bang your rocks together, guys!") What's not generally known, (since it's a secret cult) is that there is a secret cult which has followed Star Goat since the 'B' ark landed. The Moderator is an ordained and _legal_minister_ and publishes the wholly remarkable magazine "Green Pastures" generally on a monthly basis. (BATF officers are not encouraged to participate.)
