Now, OP, go back, edit, revise, and resubmit.

  You have totally insightfully recognized a core and cardinal point of theessay, i.e., that the theoretical constructs posited since Spinoza,within Sartre\'s employment thereof, constitute a radical new and indefeasible defense against all jurisprudentially posited ascription of fault.  However, since no extant police or prosecutorial officer, or magistrate, posses either the education or the reflection requisite to following the  ontological reasoning upon which the defense if predicated, it would, at this point, be self-destructive to enunciate, as a defense, what would be totally unintelligible to both the court and the prosecution.Hence my publishing my essay in this and every other possible way for the sake of establishing a continuum of written discussion of what I refer to as jurisprudential illusion... So, that, in future, one might request judicial notice of said publications; or, otherwise somehow submit before magistrates said ontological reasoning regarding the actual upsurge of human action, via whatever means an informed attorney may know to employ to that end...Duane C.

I think it actually requires a Deepak excision.

If you cannot put the complexities of something you understand into simpler terms for others, then you do not really understand it.

  This statement you make about smelling a sock is radically more cryptic than my entire submission, which so many  find so totally abstruse... I am guessing that you mean my shit stinks and that yours is a quasi Chanel # 5 ! ? Duane C.

Someone obviously so intelligent should be able to figure out how to properly quote others....

Also "while, all the while" is terrible prose. It's a linguistic anti-pattern, and comes across as the literary version of a child wearing their parent's clothes and pretending to be a grownup.

  I understand what I am maintaining; nonetheless it is not really possible to cast my radical new position in language intelligible to persons accustomed to only ordinary language.  Further, it is  incumbent upon persons putatively interested in philosophy to stretch themselves beyond their ordinary mode of comprehension, and, do the study requisite to following the language of a radically unfamiliar text, that is the only means to growing one\'s intellectual instrumentation.  It is impossible for me to descend into the cave of shadows wherein other

God, if you'te there, strike me down now! It will serve as evidence for all other atheists that you exist and won't be challenged!

Many will convert*

LOL. You don’t wanna roll around in the grime with us cave dwellers, eh? Your loss, man. We eat cotton candy and jerk-off all day. 😏

Dude, put your cursor below all the existing text when making a reply. It will solve the problem you are having with your posts.

Just gotta make sure you don't mix the two... ewwww

Of course, I can't help appreciate the irony of someone who claims they're too intelligent to clarify and condense what they mean in the same breath as patting themselves for how much studying they've done themselves. As though the sources the OP claims to have mastered didn't try to make themselves readable and coherent to the masses (gotta sell those books).

It's a decent troll effort, but doesn't stick the landing.
