- dalbasal 8y agoThanks. Fun read. I can't wait till this guy learns about "dag-nahash" :) A lot of bad philosophy is like this, a pointless discussion about what words mean pretending to be a discussion about something. Even "real" philosophers do this. Theology is full of it, greek philosophy too. Modern philosophers (say, marx for example) try to solve this by creating their own, precisely defined words and concepts but they still often end up in the same stupid place. I wonder if some level of fluency in a computer language helps with this.
