I find your fascination with the death of certain people very offputting. What if one of Bosley's family members stumbles across this site and finds you making light of his death? Seems unnecessarily meanspirited. Is this what you want people to think about philosophers?
10:17 is right. C'mon 5:17! "...unnecessarily meanspirited"? Au contraire. I suspect our host is necessarily mean-spirited – isn't it necessarily true that cranky, misanthropic, insulting jerks are mean-spirited? But I suspect that the necessity may be de re and not just the pedestrian de dicto variety. But what do I know? Jerry Lewis can kick my ass when it comes to modality, to echo a previous thread...
I don't even know who this dead person was. Too lazy to even click the link to find out. However, did anyone else notice that when you try to list a job with on the online JFP ad submission page, they ask you to give the number of definite and possible jobs. Was I the only one who was mildly uncomfortable for a second when the website asks us to deny that the actual position is a possible position?
Observations from an old cranky jerk who happens to be a professional philosopher. Occasionally philosophical, most often just vulgar. Sometimes focused on sober points of logic and issues in political theory, but more frequently fixed on nonsense. Bad metal bands, crappy guitarists, stupid lyrics, celebrities, pop "culture," telemarketers, irrationality, and other annoyances. Always misanthropic. Anti-religious. Not particularly amusing, either. Some might say insulting. Strange mail. Kook magnet. Doom. Comments from other cranky jerks, young and old.
