"Have you read Feynman's popular books? He had little use for philosophers, complaining that they made long, complicated, illogocal "arguments" with little or no understanding of what they were talking about and often without even bothering to define the terms they used. He objected, for example, that many philosphers, without having even the beginnings of an understanding of the Theory of Relativity, said science had proven that all is relative and then extended that into morals, etc."

I don't have the patience to read popular science but I agree with him about philosophy. Scared little men busily designing constructs to trap and guide others and to impress other scared little men in the process.

If you really want to put this thread into total thrombosis just post something by Ayn Rand and say at the same time Kant sucks. I don't know what it is but everyone from Rambi to Neocon are reduced to a state of somnambulation
