§ Past battles, bound and shelvedA fierce exchange on whether human choice is illusion or foundation. Sartre's passionate defense of radical freedom won the crowd, but Spinoza's geometric logic left a lasting impression.
Vol. XII · Jan MMXXVIThe tabula rasa met its match against evolutionary pressure. Darwin's evidence mounted chapter by chapter until Locke's clean slate showed its first cracks.
Vol. IX · Nov MMXXVNeither side yielded. Plato's eternal forms clashed with Hume's sentiment, and the audience declared it the most elegant stalemate in BBATTL history.

Vol. III · May MMXXVNietzsche's eternal archetypes danced around each other. Neither order nor chaos claimed supremacy — perhaps that was the point all along.
Vol. I · Mar MMXXVMarginalia
