Oh no, I know so much about you I can calculate your social security number and steal your identity. However, I know not to do that, because then I'd have to pay all of your speeding tickets.

Ok, so here's another question: If you have a favorite color, how can you justify having one if color is merely reducible to a number corresponding to wavelength? And if you do have a favorite color, does that entail that you ascribe to a universe that is not reducible to mere number but which rather requires other orders of apprehension and abstraction, such as quality and objectivity, to achieve coherence?

Most importantly, and really the primary of all questions, do you find this post to be annoying? :tongue:

1st When it comes to my SSN.....no you could not because facts about my interests came after the creation of my SSN and therefore the two have nothing to with eachother.

2nd. I do have a favorite color, being blue. And I can say that I have one because I prefer to see some things on an aesthetic basis, as opposed to a scientific one. I understand that color is just one of the many spectrums that light is viewed by, each with endless points across them.

3rd. Yes. This universe is more than the sum of its parts.

4th. Not at all annoying :).

PS. Good job with the word "ascribe". 1st word I ever had to look up to be certain about. I figured it meant "attribute one thing to another", but I wanted to be certain. You are very intelligent, my friend.
