No answer yet, eh LambdaC? To think that man through the ages has labored on
the question of knowledge and here on the Nietzsche List, our own LC has
discoverd or indeed, has perhaps invented, "Actual Science". He's given us
only two hints as to its' nature:

1. cheerfulness
2. experimentation

But, how can this be science? It seems more like physiognomic scepticism.
Surely LC has not simply co-opted another page out of the book of the
physiognomic sceptic?

This "Actual Science" is quite possibly one of the greatest discoveries of
man. Clearly LC will not leave us sitting on the edge of our seats
wondering.

Come now LC, share a few more clues as to the exact nature of this most
wonderful thing of yours...   Actual Science!!!!  Why, just the sound of the
phrase sets the heart to beating faster and the mind reeling. What would N.
have made of this discovery? Ahh, if only he would have lived in an age when
such an astounding thing came to light...

You might start LC with the moment you first envisioned the magnificent
phenomenon of "Actual Science". Was there a sort of heavenly light
illuminating the discovery?

Actually,

John T. Duryea
