Subject: RE: Personal Attacks


Who cannot stand an unphilosophical position in his surroundings,
in which everything he was so satisfied with or proud of,
is washed away, so that he is left with nothing, is only
a philosopher in the nominal sense.

We're talking about acceptance, compulsion,
but there seems almost only to be a sticking to the own
position, the own money, the own status. But the only
importance he has, is attributed to him by himself, or
by whomever he can find to lick his ah (active stinking nihilism)
During my conversation with Mr. Evans, I lost my 'faith'
a dozen times. 

"Poetically man dwells"
Look out of the window, then you see:
"UNpoetically man dwells"


Mr. Evans  is not a philosopher, somebody who talks about
reality, he is a piece of reality. And he is on his guard, because
he paid a more than nominal price. 
My experience is that you can say everything to him. The point
is just, that all this talk about dialogue etc is only a big lie.
There are those, who just ARE NOT ABLE to talk to unphilosophers,
and that is serious. That, not they.
