I vehemently, passionately abhor philosophy!
It, like Artificial Intelligence, is an extremely
regrettable waste of perfectly good mathematics.

Bertrand Russell and his ilk wouldn't know a real
world if one jumped up and bit 'em on the ass.
I guess if that happened, they'd ponder the hell
out of it.  Probably just to take their minds off
the pain in their sore *****.

And just for the record, I'm not a longshoreman (yet.)
I'm currently just an overly-skilled warehouseman.
