I’m sure JF is a good researcher, but the purpose of learning philosophy is developing a skill in how not to err. After that you need to know enough fields not to err. Knowing math, physics, cog sci, economics, law, and history is hard. … So people rarely learn not to err.

@LLaddon You can try to nudge an opiner and the audience a bit but you can’t really educate them. And thinking about the big questions is hard enough, discussing them with those who don’t or can’t is far harder, and in my case also trying to get people to think in systems is impossible.
