+ I can not believe that this author of bodice-rippers for the pseudo-intellectual set is actually taken seriously as a "philosopher".

- Care to go into some detail about this?

- That does not appear to offer much detail about what you think. Should I guess that you think some topics lie outwith the bounds of philosophy?

+ The "set"! [ bodice-rippers for the pseudo-intellectual set. example provided]

+ No.

Behold: example of a philosophical discourse on sexuality, by M. Foucault. I also posted a Zizek video and his very deep philosophical discourse on the bodily function and pubic hair structure.

    I might read that pdf at some point but I had hoped that you could just offer a quick summary of your opinions.

If you are not willing to put in the minimal effort, you should not make demands on other people's time.

Philosophy means, literally, Love for Knowledge.

Ayn Rand is merely a n-th rate writer and a narcissist. To call her specious notions "philosophy" is a disservice to all the serious minds that engage in that idle preoccupation.

I'm sorry if I am missing something but I don't see a Žižek video anywhere.

I never made any demands on your time. I think that the minimal effort to find out what you think would be to read your justification of your opinions rather than a discourse on sexuality by Foucault. When I want to read Foucault I can go to a library.
