I say this so often, people look at me like I'm crazy. I kept doing it, waiting for the one other person who remembered State and Main. Now I've found him.

I agree with all of that, but I think most of his criticism was directed at analytic positivists (e.g. Frege) rather than at analytics in general. But you're right that he doesn't fit the label in the slightest, I assumed that you classed Wittgenstein as an analytic, like most people, which seems to have been rash.

What bothers me more than anything is fucking Quine ripping of Wittgenstein's criticism of analyticity in the Tractatus and passing it off for his own benefit like it's some kind of great discoverty

Not a lawfag, so this is a sincere question: is he required reading (as I would expect), or are you in a particularly sound program?

high five my negro,I also agree with your post,although I think that we credit ourselves too much as a species.For a species who is only a fraction of DNA different from monkeyes whose evolutionary reach was developing loco-motor abilities of peeling bananas with their thumbs,we are really egocentric.Being alive is a great coincidence and if you view it as that than you can prosper.

>I like to work in fantasy because I feel the unreal, the supernatural, often contains some of the greatest truths for our own existence. I also am a lover of metaphysics, and this can be drawn out slightly more readily in fantasy than in other genres

Completely agree. Sci-fi works too, obviously.

>Faith in God means forgetting, or dying, to the self.

It's easy for atheists to paint Christians as the faith who believes in the God of vindictive party tricks who blew a raspberry at the Romans as he ascended to heaven on the third day, but true Christians believe in the God who came to earth to experience doubt, fear, pain, anguish, confusion and forget he was God and have the only salvation he could afford be the spear of a Roman soldier.

This is precisely the reason I gave up on audiobooks. I couldn't get over the fucking voice.
