    Almost everything Michael Ruse says here could be part of a brilliant, Sokal-style hoax on the NYT:http://nyti.ms/1lTUoie

        @hearsaybacktalk Yes, that is what you said before. Ruse is trying to pull a Rorty on us, topping it off with Godofthegaps. @SamHarrisOrg

        @hearsaybacktalk I often disagree with Harris, so I read the interview; crude, naive arguments + postmodernist bs + a few substantial points

        @hearsaybacktalk I do not think that it is correct to see "the machine" as a metaphor, or to interpret the sciences hermeneutically.

        @SamHarrisOrg Hoax? It is a post-Sokalian, hyper-subjectivist, deontological, anti-skepticism of evolutionary metaphysics...or twaddle.

        @SamHarrisOrg This is what happens people chase a crystal flute of science with a can of philosophy! The hangover is crushing!

        @SamHarrisOrg I don't agree Sam. Isn't it obvious that all knowledge is metaphor? Ruse isn't saying that all metaphors are equally valid.

        @SamHarrisOrg But sadly probably isn't? Jerry Coyne pretty much schools him today, as I am sure you are aware.

        @SamHarrisOrg science has an outstanding record of explaining things that "can't" be explained- but Ruse may be a bridge too far.

        @SamHarrisOrg @listen_ning I like how he casually dismisses infinite regress. As if he is smarter than people like Occam. Very POE like.

        @SamHarrisOrg I'm not so sure if the struggle for survival will feel very metaphorical if Ruse is being devoured by a pack of hyenas.
