Sam,
Per your previous <<I agree with Wittgenstein that metaphysics is a form of
magic> may I mention that per my http://yalelands.com/frph.pdf "Fractal
Philosophy" paper, "The magic of magic is that there is no magic. Thus and
therefore, all is magic." BTW, as the subject of this thread is "where
things end" I'll also end with the fact the my paper also gives some
suggestions as to why we hope and (if we are religious pray) that problem
situations will "end upright" -- I mean, "end up right." (If you to
converse with me off-list, please do.)
Max pax, YL
