I promise you, asshat, the smart minds don't go into philosophy.

You may be right. It's a playpen for the droolers. I have completely changed by opinion.

I have finally figured it out.

Well it's so nice to know the tuition money your parents provided has been well spent!

 

[Mott the Hoople]

apparently you haven't been thinking.....if you aren't thinking, you aren't.......

Ahh, you've discovered the weak point of Cartesian existentialism, haven't you?

Cogito Sum Ergo my ass.

 

[Mott the Hoople]

all philosophy needs to be tested by Dooyeweerd's concept of Naive Thought....basically, if a philosophy is too complex to be understood readily by the man on the street, it needs to be rejected as worthless......

Which is opposed by Rand's objectivism as we know that when it comes to the man in the street the least common denominator isn't 1 but 0.

As I said earlier. Cogito Sum Ergo my ass.

That's one thing I like about Objectivism. It's somewhere between rationalism and niave thought.

lol....naive thought isn't the opposite of rationalism, it's the opposite of irrationalism......

That depends entirely upon what you base your least common denominator on. 1 or 0?

niave thought is essentially another wording for Occum's Razor. The problem with Occums Razor is that it's not always true.

more so, it depends on which argument you attribute the "0" to.....

Maybe watermark will let you blow him. You can also be head cheerleader, buffy.

the decent into unconsciousness this thread embodies is a further testament to our hollow existence.

Cold you possibly be more predictable and textbook? I'm not yet winning 100% of all the bets I place one you. Thanks.

When is Occums Razor ever wrong?

?????....Occam's Razor isn't even intended to derive 'truth', it only derives the simplest conclusion.....

 

[Mott the Hoople]

When is Occums Razor ever wrong?

When the obvious answer is not the correct one.

A rock does not think, yet I can hit you with it.
