On ''what there is''


The question looks ''philosophical'' in the sense of ''what exist?''. In the old terminology ''ontology question''.
The modern formulation (by Quine) is: ''what are the values of your variables''? In our hobby ''what are
the new available components''?  Can one person know what are available components? Obviously not
but we have ''collective knowledge''. Each contribution is welcome. Like in science. But like in science there
are individuals with special contributions. Raul with his MM contributions and his ''successor'' chakster
with his contributions about ''both kinds'': MC's and MM's. Despite his ''modest means''. I think we should
be thankful to have such individuals.

I think that you could have used less words nandric, but I think I understand your point.
Oh boy... language barrier apparently can cause hurt feelings through misunderstanding.
Nandric,
I have to assume that your posts on this thread are a practice in personal vanity, since you must know that you are flying high above the heads of most readers including myself regarding the writers and philosophers that you are referencing. (excluding mahgister)
I think that it's far more effective to distill a point clearly in layman's terms than to use arcane references and even equations. ( ''for all x Fx& Gx'')
I understand, you're smarter and more well read than me, but stop grandstanding and say something.
By the way, in English it's did, not deed. Gee, I knew something you didn't know after all...
So many people with so many ideas...and none of them is any "wiser" in reality than any of the rest of us. A lot of time can be (and obviously is) wasted on the thoughts of others instead of our own. 
Not to say that there isn't value in the thoughts and discoveries of others, but if too much attention is paid to them, they may become the "gods" that some here so vehemently deny.
Yes nandric, I meant boring according to me, although I will bet that there are others. You see, I was using "economy of language".
You may now continue with your pointless monologue...
That was an ugly and undeserved insult nandric. Apparently knowledge doesn't always change what we are.
