@OrdQuelu I'd say the value of philosophy is in clarifying terms of analysis. (http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/quotes/l/ludwigwitt101117.html …) This is spectacularly important.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@chaosprime it seems to me to obfuscate as much as clarify, if not moreso.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@OrdQuelu A fine example of how a tool that can be used to clarify can also obscure when clarity doesn't suit the user's purposes, though.
