        Death to those who don't accept our arguments. This is the best thing in philosophy? You're a pig.

        Replying to @SethGrimes @ErrorTheorist @ShlomoArgamon

        He’s writing in an amusing way and immediately after argues that philosophy should be more open to exploration and a pluralism of explanations instead of coercive methods. Chill! Meant as a joke and actually the opposite of what he ends up arguing for.

        Wait, you took me literally? Clearly Twitter isn't a great medium for subtlety. You also misread that my remark was aimed at Nozick. Unlike @ErrorTheorist, Trump and his like post this kind of stuff not ironically, but with conviction. One person's absurd is real to another.

        This is the usual plot device on Dr Who or other SF when reasoning/philosophising with robots/AIs - they literally implode after being caught in a contradiction.

        Nozick’s introductions to Philosophical Explanations; Anarchy, State and Utopia and Invariances are some of the best introductions to philosophical books I’ve read.

        The best argument is therefore, a practical manifestation. Ye shall know them by their fruits.

        Before I even started to read the quote, I thought "I bet it's that quote about lethally compelling arguments." Very happy that i was right.
