I love how you can see him pausing and choosing his words carefully instead of blathering on imprecisely.
-
he has an amazing, almost comforting voice. you can see how he convinces people to divulge some pretty heavy secrets to him

@CurtHowland Uh-uh--not all reality is tangible. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to prove the existence of anything I could not see or measure. We can't "see" inside stars or planets, but what is in there is no less real. We can't measure the electromagnetism of whole galaxies, but we can infer from small-scale elecromagnetic properties how galaxies work. You keep trying to infer that I haven't got a clue as to what I'm talking about--why is that?

@milesbennettdyson "Real" is not a physical concept. It is itself conceptual.
.
What you have done is conflate the word "real" with the word "tangible".
.
Ideas are intangible, and real.
.
A new word for you, that will greatly reduce the confusion people have reading your words.
One of the greatest men of our time.
