James S Saint

No, James S Saint was too cool and level headed to think like that, he wasn’t any kind of little whining priss. He was far more respectable than all of that.

You keep saying, “was”…

Strangely, that’s from before this thread’s OP…

Well, he must have died on Feb 19 which is when Joker started this topic which to me suggests that Joker killed him.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, do not accuse me of something serious that I didn’t do man! Not cool, not cool!

Joker, you are encode_decode??

The only other way it makes sense to me is if encode_decode (also) has access to J.S. Saint’s account on Neosophi, and posted those things under his name. And considering he’s secretly Joker, it wouldn’t surprise me–wait!

Joker, did you kill James, or were you James!? Your first account was that of James L. Walker, after all…

Maybe these were automatic posts that he set up in advance?

Ah shit man, you have all been reading too many detective Nancy Drew novels.

:laughing: WTF?!

That’s not a denial. And I also seem to remember James S. Saint and James L. Walker first appeared on ILP around the same time.

I mean, maybe JSS didn’t want to spam that forum with his posts so he simply queued them.

And a saint is of course someone who walks with God, a walker with God… And about the origins of the letter L, Wikipedia writes:

“Lamedh may have come from a pictogram of an ox goad or cattle prod. Some have suggested a shepherd’s staff.” (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L)

As for the letter S:

“Northwest Semitic šîn […] originated most likely as a pictogram of a tooth[.]” (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S)

These symbols are united in that of the trident, which literally means “three-tooth”. The trident is the weapon of Shiva, whose steed is a white bull, and of Poseidon/Neptune, who sent a white bull to seduce Pasiphaë. I could go on!

The admin J.S.Saint on Neosophi Network is not James. Encode-decode is using that name so as to post quotes with the proper name attached.

But then his threads are temporally close to that of encode’s thread – only minutes apart. So Sauwelios is prolly right.

Thanks for clarifying. Back to square one.

I see. (People who want me to go on about that bull stuff may want to check this out, by the way: http://www.ilovephilosophy.com/viewtopic.php?p=2117098#p2117098.) So e_d’s tribute to James may really be posthumous, then. Tragic irony, man, tragic irony…

:-k

Still, let’s not lose sight of the fact [if it is a fact] that in so many predicable ways James was/is a run of the mill objectivist.

And that, indeed, some take this to the grave.

If it’s any consolation to them, though, I’ll be tumbling into my very own soon enough.

The Grim Reaper could not care less about objectivism. Much less nihilism.

This brings up a good question…
What kind of philosopher is the “grim reaper”?
Is he the devil or some other aspect of Satan?
And who would Satan admire as a philosopher?
From what I read, he seems to be a rather
Emotional kind of guy! He doesn’t seem to
Be into rational kind of thoughts…

Kropotkin

I agree, he was a dinosaur. A formidable dinosaur, though.

Logically, that either means He does care about objectivism, and possibly nihilism too, but just cannot care about it less than a certain positive amount. Unless you think He may care less than nothing… If not, then let us try and care a negative amount. Then if so after all, we may actually end up caring a positive amount?
