Chomsky nails it

[Jed Kelestron]

"As for real world, I was using real figuratively.  Like in get real
or face the facts, nontheoretical, nonidealistic."

I hope you're using "get real or face the facts, nontheoretical,
nonidealistic" figuratively, too. Unless you've locked into the wisdom
to know what the facts outside of theory and human
interpretation/conceptualization are.

Perhaps we should arrange a P-list outing to see Atlas Shrugged and
see if Ann can clarify things for us.
