(note to self)

Realism, Instrumentalism, and Operationalism, solve a lot of philosophical problems since so many of those problems are the product of language. It’s pretty funny or maybe ironic to me, that after more than a century of verbal gymnastics it turns out that language is the cause of the problems of politics not the cure for it. I don’t know why that’s so funny. So HUMAN, to conduct a century of distraction with little to show for it, but it’s definitely identifiable as an instance of the pattern of human foibles.
