Heh. I thought you were going to go for a more esoteric answer. I suppose I should have expected that response.

This is due to their insecurity with themselves, inparticullarly with the burning question that haunts every computer scientist, "if I'm gay, why am I secretly attracted to my mother?"

< ari> Why do computer scientists have such a low opinion of philosophers?
<@spb> depends which sort of computer scientist and which sort of philosopher
< ari> The kind of computer scientist that tends to have a low opinion of the kind of philosopher that the kind of computer scientist that tends to have a low opinion of this kind of philosopher tends to have a low opinion of.

I'll try to reword Ari's last sentence without changing its meaning.
The kind of computer scientist that tends to have a low opinion of...
(something)
That something being:
The kind of philosopher that the kind of computer scientist that tends to have a low opinion of this kind of philosopher tends to have a low opinion of.
Which can also be phrased without redundancy as:
The kind of philosopher that some computer scientists tend to have a low opinion of.
Combining back with part one:
The kind of computer scientist that tends to have a low opinion of... the kind of philosopher that some computer scientists tend to have a low opinion of.
Now it is easy to understand.Comment

Regarding which computer scientists have a low opinion of which philosophers, Ari replied: those that do, and there are some that do. But in more words.Comment

Albeit one who did Computer Science at university. It might have been more philosophical back in those days, though. : punchedcard:Originally posted by Asher
Computer science is, ironically, not about understanding computers. Common misconception by someone with a filosofical mind.Comment
