Isn't it fascinating how often Barry makes himself look ridiculous by completely misconstruing a conversation because he's so eager to put one of his "enemies" down? And my *goodness*, but he's ignorant. No--it's not *just* ignorance in this case, it's limited intellect. He's incapable of understanding philosophical thinking, has no idea what it's about or what it's for, and hopes dissing it and its practitioners will make him look wise and hip. (Heh heh. So much for his great friend Curtis, eh, Edg?) > It can also be a cover for much darker shit: Oops, watch it, Barry. This is very much a pot-calling-the- kettle-black area for you. http://www.salon.com/2013/08/15/philosophy_has_a_sexual_harassment_problem/
