... one of the things that I have always felt irritating about philosophy is 
the false issues it creates by birthing schools of thought. Nominalism. 
Idealism. Realism. Etc. If people would speak at the level of examples, there 
would less in philosophy to disagree about (to the extent there is anything to 
disagree about).  

Josh, can you give me an example of "nominalism" in terms of behavior? What 
would I need to do to be one, and what would make this any different than being 
Catholic or a Steelers fan?
