What did you train in and did you pass?

If you are him then I'd check your prostate often.

Yes, I know.
I haven't been to Newcastle but I've been to Leeds to fulfill a task.

Cambridge I did not like.
I have always been a maverick or flugel bird.
Everywhere Ive been in Philosophy, here and in acedemia, I have not met a match for my sheer strength or force.
I show the least and the most of what I can do, here.
I have an MA in analytic philosophy. I am also a scientist, trained.
Good luck.

LMFAO! Course you are mate. Do you know how rare it is to have a degree in the Arts and a degree in the Sciences? Somehow I doubt you have either.

I don't know what date you said 21st feb was. You were born then? Spinoza died then? My birthday is the same.

I did not say what year I was born.
Spinoza died 1677 on 21st Feb.

Oh, wow! My GF and I went out for a pizza on Feb 21. Both said we felt like we were celebrating something, but didn't know what it was.
So it was Spinoza's deathday!
Spooky or what?

No you fool! It was MY birthday! Me! Wittgenstein's!
I'm him.

Synchronicities crop up in abundance down here.

I think JJ may have overdosed on Nietzsche. There's no known cure I'm afraid.

Keep chasing that rainbow JJ!

I thought you were a Fraudian not a Jungian? I also thought the point of synchronicities was they crop up in abundance everywhere?

Indeed they do, but only because, in the words of a really great philosopher (Terry Pratchett) "one-in-a-million chances crop up nine times out of ten"

We are sympatico Thundril as this is my second favourite thought from the 'god' that is TP. The first was the one were a dead guy says to DEATH, (I paraphrase I think)

Man: 'I thought my life was supposed to flash before my eyes before I die?'

DEATH: IT DID.
