... and may perchance greatly admire in Crito, Phaedo, Giorgias, and the Apology, seems to bear little, if any resemblance to that sort of Oscar Wilde of the Athenian salon we find spouting empty sophisms and mundane political ideologies in most (or all) of the later (or other) dialogues, including especially Symposium, the Laws and Republic. I would regard the latter "Socrates" as a figment of...

... a being comes into existence. What is wrong is to believe that we can take this innate juice of life and use it as a justification for raising food animals. Its obvious self-serving sophism. [..] There's nothing that you have ever written, said, or thought that tells us how you think pre-existent entities are ruining our lives. So I AGAIN challenge you to try ...

... thy sophistry. It is not for his sake, but for thine, that in his life the Pig is filthily housed and fed, and at the end barbarously butchered." From whatever point one looks at this sophism, it is seen to be equally hollow. You amusingly don't know how to begin even though you clearly want to very very badly. Your attempt has drawn attention to another challenge you will...

Mais une telle conclusion, faisant abstraction des compétences linguistiques en langue créole de l'apprenant haïtien - qu'il faut une forte dose de racisme et d'indigence culturelle pour nier - relève d'un sophisme évident sur lequel il ne convient pas de s'arrêter.

..., (no matter matters not) with a stick, then you do so at your peril. The ground for embracing this sophism is indeed a very strong one, but the argument above is nothing more than a sophism. An argumentam ad consequentiam; whether a theory is true or false or not does not depend on whether it leads to favourable...

..., is indeed, a priori reasoning, the sort of reasoning which you deny the validity of. It is a priori reasoning, because it has nothing empirical in it. reality therefore requires identification and you can NOT identify NOTHING because nothing means there is nothing to identify. But your argument is a sophism. Even an a priori concept is a "something", it is not a nothing.
