      The attitude reminds me of Callicles contra Socrates in *Gorgias*: "Philosophy's all well and good when you're young, but anyone who continues to do it after that deserves a beating!"

      Yeah, I'm totally advocating that.

      I didn't think you were. I wasn't thinking of you at all. Instead, I had in mind someone else who uses a patina of philosophy to rationalize his prejudices, then, when anyone scratches that patina with critical arguments, responds not rationally but with ridicule.

      They might just find the arguments ridiculous?

          Well that's certainly true. But the question isn't whether they do (or do not) find the arguments ridiculous. The question is whether they should (or should not) do so.

          You can certainly ask that question and disagree about the answer. Other people will just go away & talk about something else. I'm like this with Aristotelian Thomism. I know enough of it to know I don't ever want to talk about it again.

          1/ OK. But because that was never at issue anywhere in the thread, why don't we return to the substance of the debate? I've read your work on Areo and shared one of your pieces with praise (as you may recall); I would be happy to debate you on the two main questions that arose.

          Just so I don't misunderstand: you dont' care enough to debate the truth of those propositions? I'm just confused because although I don't know your views on the first, about the second you seemed to care a lot yesterday.

          I am not interested in this conversation anymore, thank you. I tried discussing it. It was pointless & frustrating as I was warned it would be. I don't want to do it again. But thank you.

          You're welcome. I won't hide my disappointment. I thought we could have a lively and informed debate about things that we both care a great deal about. But I linked you to the essay I wrote for @QuilletteM critical of your approach, and I'd be happy to debate with you any time.

          I am all Plato'd out, tbh. I find your approach very tedious indeed. Please link the essay again. I seem to have lost it.
