It takes an advanced education to be that dumb.

No. I have an advanced degree, and certainly am not that dumb, nor are most of the highly educated people I know. This guy has a Ph.D. in philosophy, which hardly counts as an academic subject. I would bet that he was raised in the city and has internalized many of the psychological pathologies that come from living in crowded unfriendly environments.

I’ll never forget what my philosophy professor told me over 40 years ago, it unlocked the mystery of philosophy: “with philosophy, it’s not what you say, it’s how you say it. Philosophy is nothing but bull$hit.”

Nailed it.

I, too, have an advanced degree. Not everyone with an advanced education is that dumb. My comment is that it takes an advanced education to come up with an idea that wildly absurd.

I differ regarding philosophy. Philosophy is absolutely an academic subject. Just not as it is taught at many universities today.
