[MD] "100% confident"

[ian glendinning]

Hi David,

Ontology as the creative linguistic act - defining what you will
"deem" to exist - as the basis for your epistemology (or poetry) going
forward .... I'm fine with that.

Ontology as existence - is where I jump of - when metaphysicians start
talking as if this ontology is about (a) what actually exists in some
absolute reality, and (b) whether that is provable one way or another,
empirically or logically.
