i admire Leibniz for the Monad.

and although this is only a theoretical substance - and hence as ephemeral, shimmering, beautiful, and perhaps even more difficult to pick up than say, a chunk of STYLE - the theory of the monad posits a universal substance, and so belongs here with the base, inert, and ugly things that are easy to pick up, like a chunk of coal or steel... in the SUBSTANCE thread.

Is "substance of character" a poor answer? Does it need to be an element of their character? If so, I respect the conviction to their ideas, ideas that I too share.

Anyways phlogiston exists. PROVE ME WRONG LOL

if we admire these people for their substance then shouldn't we be posting a quote or something rather than a picture?

krastian · 03.30.2008, 02:52 PM

A lot if it is internal though....a quote would be selling them short for the most part.
