Math pwns philosophy in terms of logical rigor.
But given the limitations of natural languages, I think that we philosophers are, if we're doing our job properly, more rigorous than most people.
Btw, your assuming philosophers never use mathematics or formal logic. You should read philosophers like Carnap. He's quite rigorous...Let us be lazy in everything, except in loving and drinking, except in being lazy – Lessing

Whenever anyone suggests book burning (which isn't censorship per se, or at least can only be seen as the extremest form of censorship) then I think of Heine and his prophetic remarks:
‘Where they have burned books, they will end up burning human beings.’ ' Almansor ' .
"Since the Exodus, freedom has always spoken with a Hebrew accent."
Obviously just another Likudnik baby killer"A person cannot approach the divine by reaching beyond the human. To become human, is what this individual person, has been created for.” Martin Buber

I don't know, Ramo is quite open and articulate. Others are either trolling or, like Kuci, they're seeking the approval of the other scientists on 'poly: he's saying what he thinks they want to hear.
Where'd you get that? I'm trolling AND I'm saying what I think is true AND I'm enlisting the support of others to own Aggie.
