If that is the world we live in, we have no way to tell, because our experience still looks like 'this' world. And, if it is the world we live in, I guess I don't want it to be, since I think this reality could be a lot bette

OTOH, if there is no reality and thus no logic, it doesn't matter if I'm using logic to refute logic; whatever contradiction it's thought to be doesn't actually exist. In other words, we're attributing a truth-and-f

No, probably more on the scale of months. In my case it was years, but I was an intermittent and resentful user. I'd say ignore the people who recommend man pages; they're pretty much the worst form of documentation out there. The

Certainly film students do this. But as I pointed out in another comment, Shakespeare's plays are primarily verses, as opposed to stage direction, props, or scene description. They can be looked at as poetry, as we do his sonnets. It&#
