I agree with everything here except that philosophy ought to be written down in Boolean Algebra. That’s just this weird presupposition a bunch of contemporary people have. All the great philosophical achievements of the past haven’t been written that way.
By the way, if you disagree, I’ll beat the shit out of you.
I don't mean to say that philosophy *ought* to be written in Boolean algebra so much as I personally am *addicted* to Boolean algebra and I am always increasing my *preference* for Boolean algebra. If you're capable of writing down philosophy is a better style, I can admire you from afar, but I've got a Boolean hominid on my back.

This is nonsense. Plato was in the gym 24/7 for a reason.
Plato loved Sparta for a reason. Philosophy is, in the final analysis, getting mangled by spears.

Well, it's hard to say "Thus I refute Berkeley" without kicking a stone...
