Again, argument from authority. Pathetic.

Aristotle came after Plato and corrected many of his errors.
Quote:Kant went far beyond Plato.

And yet you don't get me making an argument from authority about Kant. Kant was wrong about a bunch of stuff just like Plato was. He was just less wrong.

Quote:The dilemma gives you options that are mutually exclusive. There is no third option, but for the time being I'm suspending my belief until you can successfully explicate your absurd denial of the dilemma.
You're a fucking moron. I'm not denying the dilemma, I'm saying it's a false one. Learn a little logic and what a false dichotomy is or fuck off.
