That only happens if they disprove themselves by proving themselves.
Is it cold in here?:

What if they can only exist when others have been drinking? The Tequila Monster is an example.

Much less plodding than some of Kant's works, that's to be sure. I *do* wish that either A) In the next 4 months I'll be able to drive again (unlikely, given that my anxiety is waay too high), or B) the symbolic logic and maths courses I'd need to take to even have a chance at better understanding his works were at a time where I *don't* need to wake up at 0500, since that's rather close to when I go to sleep. If you don't think like diving into Principia Mathematica any time soon, I can dig up the ISBN for one a sort of Russell's "Best of" on metaphysics from one of my book boxen.

Maybe he's only *visible* || perhaps corporeal when someone else has drinking? And why if there's a god of wine, why isn't there a god of hangovers?
ankhtahr:
Oh no, don't get me started on Kant.
I don't know how the translations are, but in the original German version most of his texts are almost incomprehensible. Well, in addition to most of his theories being almost impossible to understand if one isn't very familiar with the principles behind them.
Kant was the reason my grades went down when our philosophy class in school got to the topic of metaphysics.
hedgie:
I have heard from multiple professors, that if possible, even if one is a native German speaker, to just read the English translation, and thank $DEITY that you did.
