Rationalists are constantly falling into ditches that actual philosophers crawled out of centuries ago. But what's even more exasperating is that they do it in tendentious disquisitions that take thousands of wasted words to get.. to.. the.. everloving.. point.

Right, and "actual philosophers" like Sartre and Heidegger _never_ did that. Ever. "Being and Nothingness" and "Being and Time" are both short enough to fit into a couple tweets, right? </irony>
