What laughable bullshit!
Here I want to discuss a short argument for this
conclusion which would probably be accepted as
sound, with perhaps some qualifications, by almost
all philosophers who hold the view that using

In other words, people who have *ALREADY* reached the

HA HA! You ****ing DILETTANTE fruit! "Philosopher" my
ass...
