empirical evidence of the non-empirical nature of reality? What would that even look like? It would have to be beyond definition, or at least beyond description within the empirical linguistic framework.

I'd never try to argue with good science, I just like to call it to task when it tries to overstep its boundaries.

Asia? damn man, that sounds pretty sweet. You should check out the Buddhist metaphysics (as metaphor if you like) while you're over there.

My own focus is more on identity and ethics, but language has just become this inescapable force within the analytic tradition now, probably because it's used to talk about... well, everything.
