Philosophy
The fault of western philosophy lies in its continual need to revive irrational nonsense to give substance to its own love of irrationality. On the whole, philosophy is an indispensible aid to women and Christians.
The philosopher will speak of how we "project reality," but will never say things are illusory. He hasn't the courage to tackle problems head on, so will skirt around them at a safe distance. From his remoteness he can only discern appearances, which change depending on the angle from which he views them. Hence, whatever is simple he makes complicated. His copious arguments are an attempt to firstly display his dexterity at avoiding the truth, and secondly to justify his cowardice.
He will not say anything that might hurt others, as he doesn't believe in what he's saying that much.
The philosopher thinks that "deep" means difficult to understand, in an intellectual sense. Thus, a deep argument must necessarily be complicated and detailed. Only when he sees the deep bottom, does he regard it as deep. Consequently the truly deep thinker appears shallow, because his bottom is so deep that not even the clearest water betrays his depth.
