[OT] Plato's Pub and Philosophical Society

[dogscoff]

Cool, a pub. Just in time, with the demise of the Cantina I have nowhere to drown the sorrows inflicted by the Iraq thread.

*dogscoff orders and downs four pints of strong lager, all the while considering whether his actions are simply the deterministically inevitible results of an uncountable accumulation of absolute probablity events in the vast atomic pinball game that is the entirity of space/time since the Big Bang, or whether the essence of consciousness actually resides in the largely unexplored realms of quantum mechanics, thus scientifically proving that the human mind is greater than the sum of its parts and releasing decision from the deterministic constraints of cause and effect, implying that free will does exist and making tomorrow's hangover entirely his own fault.

Even though Fyron hasn't got his Comprehensive Deterministic Universal Modeller (C-DUM) working yet, everyone predicts that dogscoff will soon fall drunkenly off his chair. He does.
