Do you actually buy this? I don't have the spoons or the time to refute it point-by-point, but I think it's completely, maybe even obviously and overdetermined-ly wrong, if a somewhat interesting idea.

I wrote it for novelty value, although it seems to be a defensible position. I can think of counterarguments, and counter-counterarguments, etc. Of course, if you are not interested and/or don't have time, you shouldn't argue about it.

Thanks for the "spoons" link, a great metaphor there.
