If this is the way philosophy treats ideas, then philosophy doesn't
deserve to have any.  One is reminded of the wired ducks' heads scene
in writer Terry Black's "Dead Heat."  I know Terry.  The producers
mightily pissed him off in an interminable "concept" meeting, so he
wrote a scene so unremediably awful that even those pinheads would be
aghast and disgusted and cut the crap.

They loved it.  They gave it extra air time.  So goes philosophy.

"How many philosophers does it take to change a lightbulb?"
"What is a philosopher?"
