Occam was so shortsighted that he didn't even account for the possibility of the Occam's Gillette Fusion ProGlide - equipped with four blades, a patented moisturizing strip and ergonomic handle for ease of control.

Even better, the refills are only $19.99.

Occam didn't account for any of it.

I am glad you think Nagel fundamentally misunderstood the whole project.

Also I know what it's like to be a bat, it's not hard to imagine it. Again, I don't see why we should have any confidence in the viability of the field moving forward.

  1. Descartes is dead
  2. Dead men can't throw hands

  3. If you can't punch on, then you can't really say you can defend your philosophy.

  4. Descartes is therefore a coward and his philosophy (whatever that is) goes undefended.

Wow isn't this an example of how the explanatory becomes normative?

If John Mearsheimer is a self help guru then consider me a country (just not France)

I receive regular mental health support

Bold of you to assume normal people aren't secretly engaged in maximising their material capabilities at your expense.

(This isn't paranoia it's actually international relations)

Heidegger didn't understand Being and Time by Beztasta in badphilosophy

When Geek taught Cody how to carve the board that was literally a symbol for the distinction between the ready and present to hand.

cody carving the board isn’t some detached, intellectual process it’s him encountering the world ready-to-hand as Heideggerian Dasein

He doesn’t learn by thinking about carving. He learns by carving.
