[FRIAM] millenarianism

C’mon, guys.  Nick will only say that talk– even of the most vacant kind -- has effects that flapping the gums does not.  Please let’s not make me stupider than I already am.

What Nick will say is that the lip flapping is the concept or the feeling.to <http://feeling.to>  which I say "So you didn't feel or think them before you spoke?  BS and you know it."

Well-said. My guess is that Nick can find falsifying evidence of his strawman rendering of the position. But I sincerely doubt he can falsify his steelman of it, were he to be so gracious as to form a steelman.
