i can almost smell conflict between have2cit-jcsucka

as for philosophy, anything that resembles metaphysics in its current state drives me bananas. it's almost like that branch decided to make a wholesale shift of focus away from asking the important questions and are just into straightup-sophistry-in-hopes=of-tenure. obviously the l-p's like whitehead and russell weren't right, but the fact is the shit that derrida couldn't do and didn't pay attention to is evolving. as long as people figure out a fermat's/decade you're getting closer to an answer and the boring, non-french guys like putnam, dennet, even kripke are actually still trying.
