- cleverjake 15y agobeing a professor of philosophy, in this case. and it is a summation of the person making it, that also makes it more interesting to click on. "Person creates interesting iphone case" sounds a lot less interesting.

- mnutt 15y agoMy first reaction to the title was to be reminded of "check out this weird weight loss trick invented by a school teacher", which is sort of a link-baity appeal to non-authority. That said, he deserves credit for coming up with a cool idea and making an interesting video.
- SonicSoul 15y agoi don't know anything about that guy, he maybe a philosopher, but does teaching philosophy automatically qualify one as such? one could learn a lot about philosophy, read all the books, and be able to communicate all the concepts to students w/out ever coming up with any original thoughts.
