[MD] The Hero's journey

[david buchanan]

Matt said to dmb:

Score another victory for you Dave.  You've shown, once again, that I'm a fraud.  How do you feel?  Do you feel like you're learning anything by it?  Do you feel like others are learning something from these demonstrations?  Do you feel like you're providing a useful service to the MD?


dmb says:
I really do not understand your attitude. Challenging your claims in a discussion group is not exactly a humanitarian tragedy, you know? If you'd spend as much time and energy on the substance of the ideas as you do protecting your "reputation", then yes, I sincerely believe it would be a benefit to every participant. If the situation were reversed, I would relish the chance to explain my claims. The challenge was supposed to encourage you to philosophize in a philosophy forum. Your refusals and excuses make no sense to me. It's like going out for bar-b-que with an anorexic vegan.
