Thoughts on a Second Stimulus
I remember Jimmy Wales from his "Moderated Discussion of Objectivist Philosophy" days...
I am not surprised that he has done so well..
"Asking someone to define "yellow" is
pointless..."
And yet, that's exactly what Jimbo made happen...
"Yellow is the color evoked by light that stimulates both the L and M (long- and medium-wavelength) cone cells of the retina about equally, but does not significantly stimulate the S (short-wavelength) cone cells;"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yellow
And I remember Jimbo from arguments on humanities.philosophy.objectivism, where he was almost the only Objectivist to understand the anarcho-capitalist position well enough to offer a relevant criticism of it; my response is still on my web page.
