Hi,
Whether you call it a 'pachydentin citadel' (as its inhabitants probably do) or the simple Anglo-Saxon 'ivory tower', it remains the residence of pompous idiots whose education far outstrips their intelligence. Anyone who would seriously write "Today such issues which involve killing others over the ontological status of a biscuit or bathwater may seem ridiculous, . . ." is clearly out of touch with the world as it is and and as it has been throughout recorded history.
Five years of working construction should be a prerequisite for anyone applying to a school of philosophy. Socrates, at least, knew the realities of his world. He was, as far as my reading has uncovered, the last philosopher to do so.
