Silly Contentious Crap

It's a conceptual impossibility to like a cinnamon raisin bagel. That which has cinnamon and raisin in it is ipso facto not a bagel. Oswaldo is free to like whatever doughy concoction he happens to like. As for his calling it a bagel, this is a linguistic error, but nothing to take seriously. The same goes for so called jalapeno pepper bagels and other doughy concoctions.

Are you talking ideals or archetypes? Seriously, there's a chain in NY (maybe elsewhere) called Cos that makes a square (therefore also not bagel) cinnamon raisin bagel, inventively called a squagel, that I defy you not to find delicious, even if only in the doughy concoction department. Available in the AM only. Really, you'll thank me.

I hate cinnamon raisin entities even as a doughy concoction. And I'm talking constitutive features, not concepts like ideals or archetypes.

Oswaldo, have you read "The World As I Found It"? You must!

I did! Ages ago. Really cool.

In a rare case, the Ray Monk biography is much better than the novel--if one is interested in the philosophy as well as the life, at least. Maybe even if one isn't.
