Check out Hamlet’s *to be or not to be? * [there is no such thing as *not
being Hamlet*)…. Suggestion:
Check out the local paper for any suitable evening classes to bone up on
ontology - it looks like the trolley passed you by when they were dishing out
the dirt on what is and what is not [sic]
Of course not, Silly, that is because “not being” cannot be without what it
negates as would be the case with Theos qua atheous, aletheia qua lethe,
conscious qua unconscious, etc. But this rule, unlike your trolley, is
non-commutatable.
Sincerely;

Jud:
*Not being* cannot negate anything, because *not being* does not exist *to
be* or *not be* agential or non-agential in any way, and because *being*
does not exist or not exist to be negated {ask MichaelP who has been insisting
on this list for years that *being* does not exist.) You are childishly
instantiating the CONCEPT of *being* and *not being* in the mistaken belief that
you are positing the existence of *being* in order to claim that *not being*
is incapable of negating it. If [like many transcendentalist crackpots] you
believe that *being* is the *being* [existence] of *being* [that which is]
then what you are claiming [or mindlessly unaware of and asseverationally
reifying] is that there exists something which is the existence of existence which
leads you into an ontological hall of mirrors in which the being of the
being of being [or beings] and then the being of the being of the being of the
being of Hamlet or yourself or MichaelP or our cat progresses backwards in an
infinite regress, until, like the Gooly-Gooly bird, you end up with your
twittering Jungian beak *being* up your own ass. 
So ontology evening classes?
Yes?
No?
Don’t know?
