For his own words at the latest development of his thought, there is an
excellent text online, The World and the
Individual<http://www.giffordlectures.org/Browse.asp?PubID=TPWTIT&Volume=0&Issue=0&ArticleID=2>,
which I'm working my way through at the moment.

Ever since I started learning about him, he has intrigued me.

Well Ian, that's what I've been doing... In my somewhat slow and
scatter-brained fashion.  "Ongoing Debate" is not really a very accurate
description at present... hmmm???

You did say something interesting to me earlier that I never got back to you
on, you mentioned as humorous my challenge to Dave try his hand at a little
logical refutation.  I didn't quite get the humor in that particular
exchange and perhaps you could enlighten me a bit.  I did notice no response
from DMB ever since.

We either have a radically different apprehension of humor or you are aware
of factors which I am not which make it funny.

Personally, the funniest thing I've read on this forum so far is Platt and
David arguing over who bob loves best.  Hilarious!  Thought the 'ole Zen
Archer scored a bulls-eye that time.  imho.
