Re: Objective Evil Facts and Moral Facts

A particular word seems perfect for the occasion. Do ya see it? There are roughly 1,000,000 words in the English language. Random guessing means a probability of a hit's 1 in a million. Try sumthin else, and before I forget, bonam fortunam.

Re: The principle of explosion diverges from correct reasoning

Kindly review yer argument ... I sense an illegal move! Not unexpected of course, given the territory ... hic sunt leones/dracones . By the way, true that contradictions aren't logical errors as is obvious from the principle of explosion. What are they then? Again, mon ami, hic sunt dracones/leones ...
