You recite this mantra regularly, but it still just assumes what you're
trying to prove: namely, that there are only two options for arguing --
traditional logic or chaos. But those aren't the only two choices. Other
universes can provide order, distinctions, communicability, arguments,
epistemological norms, etc. and need not invoke your rather narrow and
abstract notion of impersonal logical necessity, a rather odd,
nonevolutionary force in your cosmos. 

But in the end, you've already killed what you claim you want. You've
made your law of noncontradiction into butter -- squishy, relative,
changing, and somehow invisible but visible too. Your main argument
should be with yourself, not me. You've gutted the god you worship.

Quite a concession. Then why get hot and bothered by mental illness? It
says the same as you.
