A great way to convince me you're an idiot is to pseudonymously identify subjectivism/social construction/contingency/mediation/pragmatism/post-modernism with some kind of mythical hyper-relativism.
If you do it non-pseudonymously I can tailor my reaction to how much I like you and how smart I think you are otherwise and where I think the error might be coming from - so you might get away with me not thinking you're an idiot.
Good philosophizing requires that terms and definitions be properly filled out...
ReplyDeleteArguably, doing just that may be one of the core problems of philosophy though :)
