re: Philosophy

Modern academic philsophy sees incomprehensibility as a virtue, not a flaw.

I suppose I could research Rorty, a name I'm unfamiliar with, but anyone who could cough up a verbal hairball like "neo-pragmatism" has already raised a red flag as far as I'm concerned.

I know what regular pragmatism is, its political reflection as "realism," and it's code of "screw what's right or wrong, it's what works right now that counts." God knows our planet has seen enough leaders who think like this.
