I think he meant that a baby’s first steps are sacred even though they’re not impressive qua steps.
only two hits on google for ‘science is better than sex’.
But if that’s the defense, then my act can’t be defended as a good deed, can it? For these are self-directed benefits that I list.
I’m glad I’m an egoist and don’t have to worry about stuff like this.

Let’s be fair to Ayn Rand
Well, let’s. Other than secondary characters like The Fountainhead’s Henry Cameron (a great architect whose spirit has been broken), which of Rand’s heroes are like this?
Surely you would be rich and famous and high-status like you deserve if not for them, those unappreciative bastards and their conspiracy of mediocrity.
You can backslash the period to defeat automatic list formatting:

looks like:
2. Two
Foo
1. One
Edited to add: Excellent comment, by the way.

drive komponisto up the wall
Some people (well, komponisto at least) may get a chuckle out of hearing that when I read this I had a little twitch in my brain that corrected it to “drive komponiston up the wall”.
(Rhetorical question:) How did you find out about integers?
Because otherwise the metaphor doesn’t work.
I don’t think so.
Yeah, I’ve been looking at my user page not realizing that it didn’t show replies to comments. Now I see I have four replies I didn’t know about.
What I wanted to do is point out that you found out about integers the same way you found out about everything else, empirically.
But that doesn’t change the fact that statements about integers are (usually) “True or False, in the Real World”, and once you’ve formed the necessary concepts, you don’t need any more sense data to find out new facts about them.
(Edited To Add: I say “usually” just to exclude Grelling-type statements and any other weird cases.)
I think so:
We’ll try to build simple model describing sexual relationships between boys and girls.
It talks about sex, but not with swear words or in terms of body parts.
Voted this up, but of course Searle’s dog was selected for chasing things similar enough to tennis balls.

Excellent post.
When you say “actually hear”, do you mean that the only way you could tell that the sounds weren’t real was that you knew (for example) the radio was off? Or do you mean something else?
[Hm, the unordered list doesn’t seem to be working for me. Any hints?]
Beginning of unordered list test

Item two
End of unordered list test

My guess: you’re missing a blank line before your list.

I think Aragorn and Legolas’s eulogy for Boromir (at the beginning of The Two Towers) is great.
“philisophical” --> “philosophical”
That would be a rational thing to do!
