You quoted Scruton...."(paraphrased)...if Heidegger is nonsense then it's laughable simple". You then said you found it "laughable simple" implying that it was therefore nonsense, which as you well know is the fallacy of affirming the consequent.
I
implied a syllogism? Not so. You
inferred one, to be sure, but then you are so wrong so frequently, I've come to expect that sort of thing from you.

No, it's not. Perry Mason was a much more coherent thinker than you'll ever be.

I don't
do philosophy the way that you
do philosophy, I'll grant you that. And for that fact I am eternally grateful.
