Jud: “Therefore to claim that entities cannot exist without existing AS
SOMETHING, is simply to state that an entity, to be an entity, must exist in such
combination of fashions, states, and manners of material modes which admit
and permit, allow and endow it with the necessary extension, size, shape and
corporeal nature to exist and be present in the cosmos.”

ME: To rephrase: “Entities cannot exist without existing AS a combination of
fashions, states, and manners of material modes…”. These “material modes”
such as “size” and “shape” are presumably not the entities themselves, i. e.
the “material modes” are DIFFERENT from, OTHER than the entities themselves.
Therefore entities cannot exist without existing AS different from themselves,
i. e. entities cannot exist without existing AS what they are not, i. e. as
_mae on_, i. e. as their other. And if this other does not exist (and in our
Elmatist’s opinion, it does not, ‘being’ (sic) a mere “useful fiction”), then
all the worse for the entity that purportedly exists, for then the entity
exists AS non-existent.

Jud:
You haven’t got a bloody clue about ontology have you? Now come on - be
honest now - admit it. We can see you blushing. How you have managed to bluff
your way along (up here in the north we say: *winging it* ) as a supposed
philosopher all these years? God knows, and he won’t tell, because according to
Nietzsche he snuffed it ages ago. You are even clueless about your own
supposed trannie/idealist/metaphysical ontology. Any beginner will tell you that
the properties of a being are not DIFFERENT from it - they make up the
compendium of the human descriptions of the perceivable characteristics of the
manner in which the adjectivally described object exists. They form the
Gesamtsumme (the grand total or sum total) of the humanly perceived features of an
object - its colour, size, smell, taste, weight, mass, etc. as filtered
through the human somesthesis - the faculty of bodily perception; the sensory
systems associated with the human body; including the skin sensors and
proprioception and the internal organs if you ingest some of the material.

That which exists and the so-called ‘essences,’ or existential modalities,
or way that an entity exists, is precisely the same thing.

Are you claiming that the fact that you are bald and have a large sebaceous
cyst on the end of your nose is different or *other* from *the bald human
entity with a large sebaceous cyst on the end of your nose known as Michael
Eldred?*

Here the adjective *bald* and the *large sebaceous cyst* helps describe the
miserable object known as Michael Eldred.*

In all the years on this list I have never read anything so completely
stupid as your completely nutty understanding of properties, and this from a guy
who claims to have a doctorate? Where the hell did you get that from -
Disneyland? By your *knowledge* of properties,* it would appear not to be worth
the paper it was written upon. Who was it that supervised your doctoral thesis
- Goofy or Olive Oil?

Dr. Disney:
This clumsy, belligerent, loudmouthed, opinionated and above all stupid oaf
with his polemical smoke-screens stumbles and blunders unerringly from one
self-contradiction to the next without ever noticing it. (In this respect, too,
he shows himself to be the inversion of the light-footed sophist.) He doesn’t
realize that having a counter-opinion is a long chalk, not to say a world
apart, from having any sort of counter-argument.

Jud:
I have noticed however that you have funked the challenge to provide the
list with evidence for the existence of your fantasies? How can I argue with an
utter philosophical moron who doesn’t even know the basics of ontology. You
have GOT to start trying harder - it’s no use donning your old sour kraut mask
and taking cover behind the usual barricade of add hominem, living in
Germany is making you more and more like Herr Goebells every day. You are just
showing your utter inadequacy. You are not getting anywhere with your bully-boy
SS. tactics with me Mr. Michael. E. Mouse. You are not slagging off the other
members of the list and getting away with your bullwhip behaviour now you
old Reificational Road Runner.

PS. If you are deaf as well as daft. you might be interested in the new
*Libraries of Deaf History* feature I have put in the Athenaeum Library today.
There’s a feature accessible via a German link too, about what it was like
to be deaf and live under Heidegger’s Beloved Third Reich courtesy of his
Hero Adolf Hitler. I mean what it was like to live if a deaf person escaped
sterilization or gassing by monoxide poisoning that is.

Regards,

Jud
