Philosophy would certainly be improved by the liberal use of "End of". Existence precedes essence. End of. (Sartre) There is something that it is like to be a bat. End of. (Nagel) Act only so that the maxim of your action can be willed as a universal law. End of. (Kant)

Well, it's set in stone now, given the finality of that "end of" phrase. So even if I made an apparent error, it must now be accepted as truth. We will just have to deal with it.
