well, the metaphor thing was the "it" for the analytical
philosophy. Philosophy and logic was never my native tongue but
I learned enough to it (or rather, the language of the people
who are fans) to be fluent enough in it. It was a bit of a
foreign language to me until then. After a protracted battle of
transcendental logic vs metaphors with me and Seedy and he
declared his victory, I knew he was missing the "key element" I
was trying to get at. As I used him as my authority marker for
Logic, I knew I'd reached a critical limitation of it and
Philosophy-as-it-stands and was satisfied.
