Jaspers! “the idea of the disease-entity is in truth an idea in Kant’s sense of the word: the concept of an objective which one cannot reach…but all the same it indicates the path for fruitful research and supplies a valid point of orientation for…empirical investigations”.

Sadly there was no box for ‘entryism’ but I ticked ‘trades union’ so I hope that will do.
@paul42smg You’ve mentioned it once, but I’ll think you’ll get away with it.

Privileged to be in this company - a tradition dating back 2500 years - ‘I will not give a lethal drug to anyone if I am asked, nor will I advise such a plan’.
