And I agree with you totally, albeit conditionally.

"Why can't we think of things like that, MagicThighs?" "I don't know,
Broomfondle. Perhaps our minds are _too_ highly trained...."

The real problem is, what is 'doing philosophy properly' all about? And I
agree it is a way of honing the intellect, even forging it, but once one
sets up to get some real answers, it _must_ be left behind.

I guess I am at all points looking for answers, not just jabberwocky.

However, it is all I do here- standing in uffish thought, that is.

Philosophy then, let it be the mother preparing her child for the quest.
It was nice to sup on the broth at that hearth, but you can't go home
again.
