Is that like alchemy? :-)
The act of Transformation seems like real philosophy to me.
Did it require the "philosopher's stone"?
Thanks,

Rotten olives are also black.

In this case it was virtual philosophy.

For Cahill that would be Maalox!

I've been thinking about "virtual"...
is a "virtual" reality (or in this case, philosophy)
virtual in the same sense as a "virtual" particle?
Are we "virtual beings"?
Thanks,

In this case it was just a play on the word 'real'.
As I normally use it, it is an AI and neural network concept applied to
brains as information processing media. Perhaps where qualia and
personification live, where we tell our stories to ourselves.
The Ecclesiastes might call it a soul, but I think that confuses the issue.

Maybe a real philosopher should have the digestive system of a buzzard.

Bret,
You have to corner the market on the damned things to be a real philosopher.

Next project: Red wine.
This may be really difficult because I once tried to moonshine vodka
and it was so bad I should have sold the recipe to MADD. One shot and
you give up hard liquor altogether.
Supposedly my grandfather poured his own [bad] red wine over peaches
for desert.
This may be a genetic problem.

Dear Bret,
No, this is final proof that Bret Cahill is indeed a real "zen master."
;-)
The following is final proof that BuddhaThu is indeed a real
philosopher.
"I turned out OK. It took 6 months, but I am OK." ;-)
Or....
The following is final proof that BuddhaThu is indeed a real grammar
logician.
"I did not turn out OK. It took 6 months, but I am not OK." :-)

You sure like talking about food. Maybe you should start a sub-branch
of the philosophy of aesthetics in regard to the culinary arts.

Define "GOOD", then we can waste a few more hours talking about
philosophy. :o
