List of agnostics

[Mark Kohut]

Since we've been challenged to bring it all back to TRP, this Wittgenstein
quote Kai circulates, has come to my mind when I think about certain events
in Against the Day especially, move into thinking about Shambala in that work, etc...

And just because it's inexpressible doesn't mean we can't talk about it.

Which brings up the subject of Lemuel.  Newcomers a lot of times act like him.  It's not necessarily that they're complete jackasses.  They just don't understand what they have gotten into.  And we can't tell them.
