arrrrrgh philosophes.

[taennyn]

(pronounced fill-o-sof-ss, thus conflating 'philosophy' and 'philosophers', because I'm lazy like this)

Now, I freely admit that I like the bendyness of the English language. (If I didn't admit this I would be a sparkling hypocrite, suitable target for empty plastic bottles and pedestrian rhetoric)

But when you get things like

True - Real
Historical - Everyday
Superficial - Internal

actually honestly used as differentiating ideas, I get a headache.

Thank whoever I'm neither a philosophy major nor an Enlightenment scholar. Gaaaah.
