>Having done a philosophy degree and been a programmer, in my opinion you're adding far too much weight to what is a very easy domain to understand. All the complicated bits became their own discipline (maths/physics/chemistry/social science/psychology).

That's the kind of thing somebody who doesn't understand philosophy would say.

The "complicated bits" (physical philosophy) were never much of what's important about philosophy in the first place.

OK, so there's me + pg saying it's not complicated. We've said why, and have a background, experience and relevant degrees.

And there's you and N72, who haven't said why, can't put forward a single argument to support yourselves or even what backgrounds in philosophy you have.

And you accuse me of not "understanding". Pathetic. It's the precise antithesis of the very discipline you allude to support.

It's about time. I'm not willing to put in the time to attempt to enlighten some guy on the internet who's claims imply that he considers himself considerably more intelligent than the great thinkers of history who have struggled with issues in philosophy.
