Overall, his diatribes detracted from criticism he put forth.

He is thus rather sorry for that, and hopes the forum moderator deletes the more egregious posts.

Remember always:

If people can’t differentiate knowledge wise, how can a market do ‘this form’ them?

Here’s how to establish Plato’s relevance to Libertarianism.

Who is the doctor? What does he do? How do we know he’s good at what he does? When several doctors are in a room, what can be said about what the best of them might say? Who can evaluate his or her words? Any Libertariarnism strives for the revelevance of personal knowledge. Else, it lacks underpinning for its own economic agenda. If people can’t differentiate knowledge wise, how can a market do this form them? If the market can’t perform this function, what is Liberarianism?

Sir, don’t you ever bad mouth Plato, Sophocles, or Niel Armstrong again.

You wrote:
Like Neil Armstrong, Oedipus overlooks the distinction between “man” and “this man.”

Yeah sure Oedipus overlooks the distinction. He too busy groping around BLIND!!!! HE POKED HIS OWN EYES OUT BECAUSE HE HATED THIS MAN WHO OWNED THEM AND THIS MAN WAS HIM!!!

So, now someone has to re-read this paper minus its universal/particular glue that just doesn’t hold. Tinsley, you can’t establish this matter simply by perverting the intent behind the words of better men than you.
