As a side note, the etymology of metaphysics comes from a chapter of a book that Aristotle wrote and literally means "after physics." It was a chapter that came after the chapter about physics and he titled it as such so that the reader can know that he was no longer talking about the real world and is moving onto the topic of philosophical bullshit...

i understood the context (none of this is rocket science, you know?)
but i found it a strange statement.
and the syllogism you run out it like most are--formally ok but not really terribly illuminating.
that's the problem with syllogisms.
i could go on to make a parallel between this choice of demonstration, the peculiar syntax of your snippy response to me, but like they used to say on "in living color" homey dont play that.
see?
pissy is easy peasy.
generally, though, it doesnt really get you anywhere.
i indulge it from time to time, it never seems to get me anywhere, so i relay that bit of accumulated "wisdom" to you.
i could go on, but this is not the kind of exchange i had in mind at all, and really is not that much fun.
have a lovely thread.
