He doesn't tend to make any easy mistakes. In terms of impact I consider him one of the worst philosophers ever. But in terms of technical skill, he's one of the absolute best. | |

| Oct 20, 2023 at 2:30 | comment | added | Hudjefa | Ok. Apologies, my bad. I didn't read carefully enough. | |
| Oct 19, 2023 at 13:38 | comment | added | Chris Sunami | It's not a definition, it's a heuristic, and I've done my best, above, to explain why I think that heuristic is problematic. | |
