Total Failure

Sure, alleged Toronto #g20 police misconduct needs to be addressed, but this brouhaha distracts protesters from the sad fact of their total failure. They’ll continue to focus on Police misconduct b/c it plays better than the message of the actual protest & gives meaning to their lives. And that’s the whole point of that sort of lefty protest, no? Police misconduct was the perfect gift.

Meanwhile who’s talking about the message of their protest?

Science v. Philosophy

How is science rightly done? What if even good and proper science ain’t knowledge?

How shall we inquire into this? 

We shall head down the way of philosophy.

In this way, we see philosophy’s preeminence over science.

Actually, even now, as we reflect on how to proceed, we are already doing philosophy. In this way, we see philosophy is no soft option — it’s the heavy burden borne by the curious in and through their curiosity. 

Someone will say, “No, instead we shall scientifically study science. After all, science and knowledge are coextensive.”

And I will respond, “Shall we? Are they?” 

Someone will say, “You’re too curious for your own good.”

And I will respond, “Am I?”
