Well, if you're gonna paraphrase Nietzsche like a true believer you may =
as well cite chapter and verse. Then I can go read the master himself =
and you won't have to bother explaining yourself to me (not like you're =
trying... or are you?).=20
I'm intrigued by your phrase "actually, it would actually"... does it =
conceal some insight gained from your spiral into the abyss? (The spiral =
is the movement indicated by the Nietzsche quote, no?)
Am I still missing the point? If so, I've been drafted into good company =
with Socrates: knowing that I know nothing.
