Just a Buckeye-bound misfit, I

Q: I read a couple of words of Rawls today and decided I was putting him off for another year because he's just too much of a tool. Back to Neal Stephenson and Neil Postman.

Ben: Rawls is a tool.

Ben: But there are very few political philosophers, with the exception of the Founders and Aristotle (and perhaps Machiavelli, although he was a hack) that I don't think are tools.

Hear, hear!

Q: If we agree on this point, without clarification, it must be true.

Ben: Yes, I think so.

Ben: I think, even with clarification, we might still agree, and it would still be true.

Q: And as Oscar said, even things that are true can be proved.
