I feel like pretending to be a materialist just so he has someone to answer the damn question!

No Fred: the pony doesn't exist objectively. As I cannot fathom anything existing that I can't kick that means it cannot exist at all. QED. Now shut the fuck up. Because I said so. OK!?!?!

How'd I do everyone? Did I stick him one for the team? eh? eh?
Thing is fr0d0...Fred can't form a direct question so we are unable to directly answer him. He seems too caught up in 'self' at the moment and doesn't not know where "self" ends and reality begins...does make for some very frustrating dialogue.
